I was looking at pictures of pretty butterflies the other day, and as I looked   at them their colours  reminded me again of how beautiful they are! It is quite amazing that our loving Lord paints each one! Our loving Lord works his lovely artistic touch on each one! At the same time, His love touches our lives, and when His love mixes with inside tears that we may have due  to pain,our walk through  life becomes full of His colourful majestic touch through each day ❤️

Mum has been enjoying having apricot jam on toast. As she liked it, she been having it a bit thickly on the toast. But lately her skin has been irritated. We then discovered that she was allergic to an ingredient in the jam! This was making her feel not too good! 

        Our loving beauty Lord “ spreads us thickly”  with His love every day! He cares about every part of our  life and covers it all like jam with His love. His love is a million times sweeter than jam ❤️

It was so very great when we heard news that the teen who was lost on Mt. Disappointment last week had been found! I was using my iPad when all of a sudden a news alert came over the top of the screen announcing the happy news.  People all around the country were so very glad! It really showed that people are very caring about what is happening in the lives of others, Most people didn’t know the boy, yet we were all very concerned for his welfare and so very glad and relieved when he was found! May we all  care for each other and all that their lives are holding, Knowing that others are supporting you in prayers and thoughts  gives strength in all that life is holding ❤️

This month’s picture on the Council calendar is a picture of an ice covered flower! It is completely covered in ice! It looks so very pretty! But... it makes me feel chilly when I look at it! The sun would have probably “ thawed” it out very soon though. The sun is still there on Winter days, just hiding behind clouds! Smiles are just like “ mini rays of sunshine” !😀 They  bring warmth to all who see and receive one from another person! The person who smiles feels the warmth also! Our loving Lord sends smiles of love to us. We don’t see his smiles,but feel His warmth and love ❤️May we give smiles to others and bring warmth to their day! 😀

Wintertime is here! It is a good time for eating soup,sitting near the  fireplace or heater, and reading books! We don’t experience snow where we live or have snowflakes, but pictures of snowflakes are so very pretty! Our loving Lord displays his beautiful artistry in every snowflake that falls from the sky! You are all snowflakes also! Each of you are very pretty inside, and that shines through in all you do. Just like the snowflakes, our loving Lord expressed His lovely artistry when he made you! ❤️❤️💗💕💖 He cares so very, very much about you! 

      I enjoy having cornflakes for breakfast each morning. I was thinking the other day that it is not a “ fancy” breakfast cereal,BUT  there are millions of people all around the world, just like me, who enjoy eating cornflakes each day! It is like life. The most main “basic” things  in life are love and faith, and they give richness to life! They endure through hard, happy, struggling, joyful, laughter, weeping times, and the “  milk” poured on top of it of the cornflakes are the everyday little blessings that our loving Lord sends from above ❤️

  When Mum used to cook pikelets,she used to have a teatowel that she kept to cover over the cooked  pikelets as she was cooking, to keep them nice. It was fun seeing her adding to the pile, then covering them with the teatowel! The teatowel had a lovely baked aroma which was very warming and homely! Even now when I see that teatowel, I can smell the warm homely   pikelets smell! 

    The love of our loving Lord and of our family, both those who are with us as well as those who have passed away and gone on before us, is warm on the most coldest, wintry day or times in our lives. Just like the pikelets did with the teatowel, love leaves it beautiful scent on our hearts and on our pathway through life. It gives us strength to face that hour, it comforts, it sustains, it encourages, it will always and ever remain! May we remember that are forever wrapped in His teatowel of love! 

I was writing a letter  the other day on my iPad and in it I was writing about “flower box windows”. But...I wrote the wrong word and instead it turned into “flower box widows”!! This made me laugh! I could just imagine many widows with boxes of colourful flowers on their heads! Some widows may have beautiful roses in the boxes, other ones may have  pretty pansies,whilst others have boxes of colourful tulips on their heads! 

    I send to you all many boxes filled with petals of love to comfort, encourage, and bring a touch of joy to your day. When you are tired or in pain, think of these petals of love I have sent, and may they reflect the love of our Loving Lord ❤️

It was so very odd on Good Friday! Even though the temperature was a bit coolish, the  sun was shining nice and brightly and it was lovely looking out through the windows at the sunny weather. Then, all of a sudden just before midday, the skies turned so very dark and there was not much sunlight at all! It got so dark that we needed to put on the kitchen lights! Then an hour later the skies were light and sunny again! It was quite funny as Mum, Dad and I all at the same time thought the same thing, without any of us saying a word! We all thought at the one time that it really reflected what happened on the original Good Friday when the skies turned dark at midday! It was  a very special reminder to us of the beautiful love of our Loving Lord as He was on the cross in the darkness! 

In a world that sometimes may feel a bit dark,His love is like a bright candle that shines and guides is through. May we taken comfort in his loving light ❤️

HE is RISEN! 
   HE is RISEN INDEED! 

This week is Easter week ❤️ I hope it will be a very special time for you. Many people all around the world will be celebrating it differently this year, being confined to their home. Many people usually gather together at Churches or homes to share the Easter Time of reflection, celebration and services together. It is also often a time of catching up with family and friends. It is sad that people can’t be together face to face. At the same time, love for each other bonds us together,  cords that  aren’t broken by distance or time! Our Heavenly Father’s love and our loving Lord Jesus’ love is eternal, deep,wide and tall! They showed the huge love they have for us when Jesus opened wide His loving hands on the cross❤️ We are never alone. He tenderly watches over us to see each teardrop and smile.

May we find rest in His wide open arms ❤️

 Autumn is here! When I think of Autumn colours, I think of orange and yellow which are very pretty colours! I think of yellow sunshine breaking through the branches of beautiful orange leaves Autumn trees! Though we may not be  well enough to be able to  walk through Autumn tree forests, we can look at pictures and be joyful that our loving Lord has painted every leaf.The love of our  loving Lord is like the sunshine that breaks through the Autumn trees, helping us in our times of pain and tiredness as well as celebrating us in our laughter and joy ❤️🌼🌷💐🌸🌺🌹

Apart from the awfulness that so many people are becoming sick or passing away as a result of the coronavirus, it is also affecting the stock market and the value of the Aussie dollar against other currencies. The value keeps going down! This means that the prices of overseas products are going up! The “value” of love has never, ever changed over the years though from eternal past and will continue on to eternity future!  God is Love and He so much loves each of us! He made us because He loves, He died and rose for us because He loves us, and now He tenderly and lovingly watches over us in love! May we find rest,  hope and encouragement in His Love day by day ❤️

 Autumn has arrived

! Autumn colours are very beautiful! The Master 

Painter paints His world so very wonderfully and beautifully! Each season has its own special beauty. I saw this quote picture the other day and think that it is very nice. May you enjoy Autumntime and may the colours remind you of the richness of our loving Lord’s love.
