A Glad Heart

Being a Pollyanna, being glad,  and "giving thanks in all things", is not naivety, or idealism. It is a matter of faith. He will work out all things together for good, for those who love Him.

Oldy Garden Photos - Spring

Spring, like a gentle smiling hand, has finally arrived in this part of the world, calling out on all the season's beautiful, warm and sunny joys: birds singing and chirping in the bush and splashing up water from the bird-baths, dazzling blue skies, and fresh-sun-kissed flowers and green-lands. Being busy with schooling as of late I haven't been outside much lately so I thought to share some old archive pictures from last Spring which I had captured in our backyard. Sometimes, the seasons come back to us suddenly and capture our hearts with fresh joy and hope. That has been the feeling of this Spring for me!

¹⁰ My beloved spoke, and said to me:
“Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away.
¹¹ For lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.
¹² The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove
Is heard in our land.
¹³ The fig tree puts forth her green figs,
And the vines with the tender grapes
Give a good smell.
Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away!'

-Song of Solomon 2: 10-13

Part/Photo 1 Island Vacation Photos

Around last year, my family and I went on a week's vacation to a holiday island off the coast from where we live. It was a beautiful time, one of those times I shall always, I hope, have a fond memory of. So, for starts, I shall be sharing sporadic photos from our time there on this photography blog; sounds good? This photo was taken from our balcony in the holiday apartment we were staying in at the time. Beautiful, yes?

O Lord, our Lord,

How excellent is Your name in all the earth...!

Psalm 8:1

A Great Aim

"As Christians, I challenge you. Have a great aim - have a high standard - make Jesus your ideal...make Him an ideal not merely to be admired but also to be followed." 

~ Eric Liddell

Christmas 2012

'And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the  Father, full of grace and truth.'

John 1:14

Flowers in Blossom

Yes, it isn't Spring or Summer here, and so there aren't so many flowers about. *sniffs* I do miss them a lot, even if I really enjoy this cold, sunny weather of May :). But, since I have not had a chance to share with y'all this picture of a beautiful tree (which is common in this area) in blossom, I hope you enjoy this :). 

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." 

Matthew 7:7-8
