Thank you! I am still so affected by ...Dear Terri,<br />Thank you! I am still so affected by The Chosen today (Good Friday) all I can think is how horrific it was for Jesus and his Mother to watch and all who were there with him. It is beyond comprehension. To be made feel you are there, to mediate on this... Of all the vile things on TV or you tube or the internet that anyone would be against something that is bringing millions to God, depicting him as best as they can (and no, no actor can be as perfect as Jesus but they can do their best) and bring scripture and the life of Jesus to a billion people (that is their goal) I have no words. I will be re watching it and waiting for season 4. <br />You had a very productive week! Lovely on the carrots! I hope you conquered some weeding!

I needed to read this today! <br /><br />This is a very small recommendation but I love Bible Verse of the Day. I can get to it on my phone wherever I am, whatever time of day (very important lately) and have a daily devotional. There is a new verse, a minister's thoughts on the verse, and a prayer each day. It has really brought me some comfort and given me important things to think about. <br /><br /><3<br />KathyKathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278303894819262604.post-88684361095805415232024-03-28T16:15:33.421-07:002024-03-28T16:15:33.421-07:00Sorry Margie, I just realised the link you gave IS...Sorry Margie, I just realised the link you gave IS the doodle page, so I second it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278303894819262604.post-45117260325528524022024-03-28T15:03:29.656-07:002024-03-28T15:03:29.656-07:00I love that reading so much Margie.

What The Chosen did is make you feel like you were there... I LOVE it. I am hearing of so many who are converted, re committed... I think it is fabulous. I am also going to re watch it. It made me grasp things I had not ie how hated tax collectors really were... how to follow Jesus they really had to drop everything and just go... so many things I now think on. Over Easter it would make perfect viewing.

Now their gone I feel so depressed and it's hard to say that. I am trying to find joy in the small things. My dog brings me joy !

I need to take his words seriously, too! Just look at the result!<br /><br />I love to listen to our Christian radio station throughout my day. I am not in love with the music style (contemporary), but for the most part the lyrics are great...certainly better than mainstream radio! But I love to listen to all the teaching programs and sermons that they air each day. Some of them have been mentioned already in previous comments, but I also really enjoy Back to the Bible Canada with Dr. John Neufeld, Encounter the Truth with Jonathan Griffiths, and Truth for Life with Alistair Begg. All of these are truly biblically based and I enjoy the Bible exposition and teaching that arises. They are all available online.<br /><br />I love the photo of your gorgeous flower bed with the rocks that Andy placed there for you. Beautiful.<br /><br />Lots of love to you,<br /><br />Jen in NS xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278303894819262604.post-73489346544806342642024-03-26T12:40:51.137-07:002024-03-26T12:40:51.137-07:00Lovely post!

I thought of that song we learned as children, This Little Light of Mine. "Won't let Satan blow it out, I'm gonna let it shine..."<br />I told my husband how thankful I am for all we have. Especially our children, they are so good to us and each other. God gave me a bonus, this week, to add to my gratitude list: 6 chicks that I hatched. The incubator was a birthday gift from my 15yr old. Spending her hard-earned $ on me!<br />Thanks for blessing us, Bluebirds, Annabel.

Your posts help me so much - I wish I could print your whole blog. For me seeing washing drying on the line, getting it back off and all folded neatly away in one day is a good day. Just this evening a very beautiful blue kingfisher crashed into my window - luckily he was just stunned. I picked him up in a towel and sat him on a table on the verandah and was very grateful to see him fly off half an hour later. Today I am also very grateful to have turned the corner and feel my fuzzy head dissolve after a week of covid.
