Bedroom set number three



Second set of bedroom pictures



Which bedroom picture do you like? First set







We are creating a web site for our little Kauai Valley Retreat. Today I took out the iron and ironed several new pillow shams, curtians, and bedskirts for the three different bedrooms we have in the main house. Out came the camera, and now we have to decide on a picture. So let me know which one from each set that you like!

For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field,
and the wild animals will be at peace with you.

Who do you see?


Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.

So I ask myself "who do people see when they interact with me?" My goal is peace and the love of a saviour

Unity of peace



Ephesians 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

The images are not mine. One is a painting, the other a photograph. Both images are of the Wainiha River, which is a part of my everyday life here.

"My Grace is sufficient for you, for my power is is made perfect in weakness"



"My Grace is sufficient for you, for my power is is made perfect in weakness" Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Cor 12:9-10

(When we are strong in abilities or resources, we are tempted to do God's work on our own, and that can lead to pride. When we are weak, allowing God to fill us with his power, then we are stronger than we could ever be on our own, God does not intend for us to seek to be weak, passive, or ineffective-life provides enough hindrances and setbacks without us creating them. When those obstacles come, we must depend on God. Only his power will make us effective for him and will help us do work that has lasting value.) {footnotes in sudy bible}
