Jon and Bob walking through the trees on the way back from Holkham beach last Saturday. Walking and talking together is a good thing to do - especially outside enjoying the beauty of Creation.
How blessed I am to live in such a beautiful county, and have such a caring family. I am especially grateful for the time to rest and reflect and feel loved and valued.
I hope your Sunday has some moments of peace, joy and love too, wherever you are. This hymn has been on my mind these last few days...
What a lovely description of your relaxing outing—it’s simply delightful to read!
ReplyDeleteYesterday, we went on one of our family excursions—to a beautiful vineyard wall overlooking the Elbe River and Pillnitz Castle near Dresden. Although the grapes have already been harvested, the vineyard glows in a warm, inviting shade of yellow that truly makes the heart leap for joy. It is so wonderful to be able to enjoy time together and have such lovely conversations.
Wishing you a wonderful Sunday—warm regards, Viola.
One day I may visit your beautiful country!
DeleteA very favourite hymn.

DeleteThis hymn truly moves me. It was my foster Dad's favourite and sung at his funeral. Lovely photos of your family and the countryside where you live. I too count my blessings every day. Thank you it is so nourishing to our hearts and souls to be reflective. Sue H
ReplyDeleteI think this hymn brings back precious memories for many people

DeleteIt's not easy to find peace in a busy environment, but sometimes it is possible to find a moment to retreat within oneself, adoring Jesus, amidst the noise and bustle all around. I write this from an airport!
ReplyDeleteI have been truly blessed this weekend. Hope you have too
DeleteTime spent with family is very precious. I'm remembering my mother, today, on what would have been her 106th birthday.
ReplyDeleteMay those precious memories bring you comfort. ❤️🙏
DeleteYou and Bob would have a caring family wherever you'd live; you've created a family that reflects your values. You do live in a beautiful country. I am off tomorrow with my oldest sister to visit our childhood homes and my school reunion. It's been 50 years. Exciting, yet also a bit sad, as my sister who passed away always wanted to make this trip. She will be with us in our memories.
ReplyDeleteDear Celie, I do hope that your trip "back home" is full of precious and joyful memories for both you and your sister, and that meeting up with old friends will be a happy time. I know there will be bittersweet moments when you will be very conscious of the loved one who is missing. Safe travels ❤️🙏
DeleteIn a busy and often caotic world it is good to be thankful for the blessings we have. Thank you for sharing this hymn.
