A Brighter Day

After a brief hiatus in the old ‘verse-for-the-week’ thang, I’ve got back on wagon and am ready to rock-and -roll (how I love mixing those metaphors)… So, here’s (probably) my all time favourite Bible verse. Love, love, love it. Enjoy… X

Words for the Weary Part Deux

This week’s verses still have weary people mind (i.e. lil-old-me!)… They’ll be pegged up on my kitchen-cupboard door to remind me to come to Jesus, ”the burden-lifter, the soul-satisfier, and the life-giver.”* X *This quote is from the marvellous John Piper’s great little book, ‘In Our Joy’. Being incredibly generous with his words, he’s made this available to read [...]

Words for the Weary

Sweetmumma has had a long old week and is weary to  the very bones. So when I heard these words read out at church this morning, I just knew they were for my week ahead:  I shall be praying them each day. Perhaps you’d like to join me…? X

‘Remember Remember Challenge’ Numero 3

So, here’s the third installment of my Memory Verse challenge.

Memory Verse…for Grown Ups!

So, my first week of Bible Brain Training went well. I’m pretty certain it’s wedged firmly in the old grey matter (although the Sweetkids will surely do their best to dislodge it with their night-waking-early-rising-sleep-deprivation plan!) Anyhoo, I’m cruising into week 2. Here’s the next verse if you want to join me…

The ‘Remember, Remember’ Challenge!

Well, it’s taking me a week to come up with it, but I finally have a New Year’s Resolution. Actually, it’s more of a New Life Resolution, but there is something about the start of the year that helps kick these things off… There’s a kids story I love called ‘Petunia’ (bear with me…). It’s [...]
