Today's Edification (1 July 2025)


Greetings sisters! 

A new month is here as the time keeps slipping by! Eternity is coming closer for each of us and the end of this earth too which means our Lord's return draws closer every day! We definitely want to be found as His faithful servants doing what He, our Master, commanded of us, while He is gone. We are so blessed to have all those wonderful parables that Jesus told. 

And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 

Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. 

But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 

The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 

And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Luke 12:42-48 


After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 

And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. 

His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

 Matthew 25:19-21

The Lord has told us so much of His will in His Word and so we want to diligently seek it to see how He wants us to serve Him! 

 

Time for a picture catch up post. Just simple things from my days. Perhaps not so many this time but still has been a really busy time except for the last few days I rested some because of having a cold. 

Something beautiful about a crisp cold golden morning of His mercies with the birds singing! 


Our God is good to allow us such good things though we have sinned against Him. Indeed it is a troubled world we live in but there are still so many of His mercies which no one deserves. 

After a slow start to winter it's here and with it the green grass and flowers which are refreshed after the harsh summer. 



So much variety in His creations! It's surely a strong delusion when people think it all made itself. We see so much decay and things tending to disorder. It is only a very intelligent powerful Creator who put it all together with all the intricacies and details! And He upholds it all now! Glory to Him! 

Just over two months difference in these pictures and it's really just water that makes the difference!

His creation is ever changing as well and it's beautiful to see and yes it's harsh at times but we know it isn't how He originally made it before sin entered. But His mercies are in it as He sends rain and sunshine on the wicked and the good. 

Cow looking in my little home door! She knew I had some garden produce so wanted to eat it! They must have a good sense of smell! 


A rooster having a look too... 



Still some things to harvest from the garden... 

The carrots are still a bit small but still good! 



And always something wanting to eat the plants too but sometimes there is something you can do to stop them but not always. We use derris dust which seems to work...for the caterpillars on the cauliflower leaves which were having a feast. 

Just lots of patience needed when waiting for a harvest! 

A huge aphid colony had set up home in this broccoli head, so knowing how much effort it is to clean up them and their mess I gave it to the cow. Sometimes things are too bad to make good. 

But thankfully some were clean with no aphids on! Good healthy blessings! 


And pretty flowers for you sisters! 

Yes I cooked them too as you can eat the flowers as well. I just raost them in some olive oil, salt, garlic, and lemon rind. 


Frosts are rare here so the tomatoes in front of the house look good actually! They get extra heat reflected off the white house. 




So I am still cooking with the blessings the Lord provides. I would share! 


Still doing cleaning once or twice a week or so... 


But not much sewing lately as I have been busy in other things but there are times and seasons for all things but hopefully I can do some of that sometime! We humans are very limited but for God nothing is impossible. What a wonderful Lord we serve! 

So I think that is all until next time! And Lord willing I can keep sharing simple scripture encouragement with you daily here. Keep pressing on in all your duties sisters! The Lord sees and He is whom we please and do our labours unto. Yes we walk by faith as we do not see or seek for signs and wonders. Let us pass all the tests to our faith and remain steadfast for the Lord and the truth in such a corrupt age. May His kingdom come and His will be done. 

Grace, peace, mercy, and love to you my sisters who love the Lord and serve others! Don't grow weary in any good thing sisters! Our labours are not in vain in the Lord! Be of good courage and be strong! The Lord be with you and may He alone be magnified!
