Smelling Divine!
Posted on June 30, 2015 Leave a Comment
I don’t think too often about God’s ability to smell. Do you? But he must… Otherwise why do we have references to being a ‘soothing aroma’ to him? Or a ‘stench in his nostrils’? Some even say they have physically smelt the presence of God. I can’t claim that, but as I walked into the […]
The Blessing of Boots

On wet winter days I would come home with feet soaked and cold from walks with the dog.She didn’t seem fazed but I wasn’t finding it too exciting. My darling dearest woke up one Saturday morning and announced that we were going shopping for a new pair of tramping boots (hiking for those of other more demure […]
Daddy’s Hat

Sitting on my boss’s desk was a photo of his son wearing Daddy’s hat. All those curls framing such a cute smile was a winner, don’t you agree? It’s been a few years since I did this one, but it never seems to loose it ‘s appeal.
Whitney Houston Belts the Sparrows

Whitney Houston is giving it her all on my playlist this morning. One of my all-time fav’s! Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come, Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heav’n and home, When Jesus is my portion? My constant Friend is He: His eye is on the sparrow, […]
A 2 Cup of Tea Chat

Every man’s worst nightmare starts right when she says “We need to talk”. How many times have we all been there?! Her all awash with emotion and JUST looking for an ear and a loving heart…well, most of the time, anyway. Him with mind racing and adrenaline pumping. “What do I need to fix so that everything will […]
A Little Bit of Envy

Yes, I admit it. Aunty Shelagh’s plant was causing me a little bit of envy. Each time I visited, there it sat in the dappled light flowering profusely. Lovely purple tubular flowers popping out on long stems. And it just looked just gorgeous in the Mediterranean styled pot she had it sitting in.. No, Lynda! […]
Trousers in a Cold Wind

That wind was biting hard this morning. Dressed in woolen hat, scarf and gloves. Boots on with merino socks beneath. Padded jacket to cut out the wind over the top, and still i didn’t feel adequately dressed this morning. I pulled the hat down a little lower trying to cover my ears. Although the dog […]
Mouses or Mice

We’ve had this grammar war before when son procured more than one mouse for his computer. It came up again last night when I proudly declared to the fam how many mouses I had caught. I know…I should have said ‘mice’, but I was trying to soften the blow for the tender hearts among us. Those […]
Nepal and Sir Edmund Hillary

Nepal is suffering the effects of two major earthquakes in quick succession with multiple large aftershocks. We feel for the Nepalese…the Christchurch earthquakes of 2011 are still with us here in New Zealand as a poignant reminder of how devastating these can be. Our friend, Jeff Keily, from Sunshine Coast, Queensland, has recently taken many […]
Magic Mushrooms

Doing our normal route we had walked past the wide-spread tree every day admiring it’s changes in colour, first golden now fire red. But today was pouring…umbrella up and jacket pulled close. In order to miss the slippery track we circumvented said tree from the opposite side. What a treat waiting for us! A patch […]
