Joining the Creation in Praise

When we walk on this beautiful stage, we can fill our lungs with fresh air and breath in grace. My little girl running, the oldest children are exploring, the days are long and the wind hissing is at times the only thing we listen to.

As I stand with wide-open eyes and see how little I am, I can’t do anything else but praise Him for coming towards me. For reaching me, for loving me.

I lift my voice and join the mountains and hills in praise;  the wind blows with might and I hear the trees beside me clapping their hands.

Who can resist praising God?

“For you shall go out in joy
 and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and the hills before you
 shall break forth into singing,
 and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.”

Isaiah 55: 12

Even the lavender seems to bow down before its Creator, and I bow my head, “Lord, please, help never stop seeing Your glory in the little things surrounding my life.”

The sun hides, and as I go to bed and breath out praises and thanksgiving prayers, I look outside and I am reminded…

I am truly Daily On My Way to Heaven….

A Prayer for Today -As We Travel-

Ortelius’s map of the world, from 1601

“Lord keep us in the way we should go, and let no evil thing befall us;
let us have a prosperous journey by the will of God, and with thy favour let
us be compassed wherever we go as with a shield.


Let us walk in your way safely, and let not our foot stumble or dash against a stone.


Direct our way in everything and enable us to order all our affairs  with discretion, and the Lord send us good speed, and shew kindness to us.


And the Lord watch between us when we are absent, the one from the other.”


Matthew Henry, A Method of Prayer

End of the Summer Changes

We can start smelling the new notebooks and wooden pencils; the books with wornout pages are almost ready to be opened like treasure chests, to display magnificent worlds.

But here, in this corner of the world, we will leave all those behind as we travel for a month to visit friends in another corner of the world. We are almost ready, Sunday we will fly.

So expect some changes in this place.

I would love to tell you all about our trip, and show you great pictures daily, however, I do not know if that will be possible.

I have scheduled some entries, reposts from the archives, for you to enjoy; and remember that you can still go back to the my old place where you will find 255 entries to read!

Other good places to visit are these:

Femina
Theology for Girls
Heavenly Springs
Caffeinated Theology
Reduce Me to Love
Penned Pebbles
Tried by Fire
Raising Homemakers

May the Lord give us peace and joy as we travel to meet our very good friends on the other side of the world!

Blessings to you!
