To complete the front feature of our log rock garden, I needed some landscape soil as the garden slopes to one end. The idea was to place paving blocks onto landscaping soil and try and get it as level as possible. We took our large trailer and went to a place called Magic Growing. Although […]
Have you ever shared your salvation testimony with someone or with a group of people? If you have not, I’m tempted to ask: why have you not? Any person born by God’s Spirit has a personal salvation testimony. This means, you know what you were like, then something happened, and now you are different because […]
Today’s focus was on designing the front of the log rock garden. To be totally honest, the design is trial and error … a step at a time. I really don’t know what the end result will look like, but I have a “picture idea” in my mind what it could look like. I needed […]
We have a log rock garden in our garden. It’s pretty large (4 meters wide and shaped like just over half a circle), sloping upwards from just over ½ a meter to about 1 ¾ meters high. We divided the inside into various ‘rooms’ planting different plants in each ‘room’. As I mentioned recently, I […]
Today we resumed our Sunday Evening Gatherings in our home. It’s been a long 171 days without gathering together for worship. Although we did not sing, we prayed, read the Bible and had a message from God’s Word. We were small before lockdown and we were two less tonight … but it was so good […]
For many people, parting with possessions is a difficult matter. I was chatting with someone today about an elderly lady who is moving into a care facility soon. After living alone for a long time and having accumulated many items that have become precious to her over the years, she faces a huge dilemma as […]
I spent at least three days this week in the garden. Now that it is spring, there is so much ‘autumn and winter’ that needs to be corrected. I did so much and so little is visible to the eye. From mowing the grass and cutting the edges to planting new shoots into the log […]
I think that few people have not been so depressed where they have had thoughts of ending their life. Mostly such thoughts are just ‘feeling sorry for myself’ … but sometimes they continue towards either attempting or committing suicide. World Suicide Prevention Day is commemorated annually on 10 September (which is today). I would like […]
We resumed our Wednesday night Bible study meetings tonight. This is the first study in exactly 5 months and 2 weeks. It seems like a lifetime we were separated, but it was wonderful to be able to meet together, study the Word of God, have a time of sharing and end in prayer. We studied […]
Some years ago, Jenny took two old wheelbarrows and converted them into mobile flower beds. They looked pretty nice until we moved into our present home. Maybe it’s where we placed them or maybe it’s because of the lack of attention, but the plants degenerated. During the past few months, all the attention they received […]
