Friends are Heaven sent

-
Last week I received a book from a friend and it has been a blessing to me. It's called "Beautiful in God's Eyes". I got it in Portuguese and it belongs to my friend but I was so happy to receive it, specially because it arrived by mail and I'm so old fashioned and appreciate receiving anything my mail, let alone a book! Thank you my friend, It was a big surprise and it came in a perfect time! 
God's time is always perfect.

 One thing I've learned is that God always send friends on our way. Friends that can share their life with us, share their experiences, share their joy and even their sorrows, share recipes, share their children but friends that brings us close to God are sure Heaven sent and that's my only one desire: to bring you close to God and have friends that will help me to have a closer relationship with God by our conversation, by our actions, by our lifestyle.
 Heaven sent friends will rejoice when you rejoice and help you to stand when you fall.
 Heaven sent friends will not be disappointed if you can't meet with them but will pray that another oppotunity might come. 
 Heaven sent friends will have open hearts and willingness to forgive for the trials of one may not be the trials of another, and our hearts should ever be open to kindly sympathy and all aglow with the love that Jesus had for all His brethren.
"The religion of Christ dos not require us to lose our identity of character, but merely to apapt ourselves, in some measure, to the feelings and ways of others. Many people may be brought together in a unity of religious faith whose opinions, habits, and tastes in temporal matters are not in harmony; but if they have the love of Christ glowing in their bosoms, and are looking forward to the same heaven as their eternal home, they may have the sweetest and most intelligent communion together, and a unity the most wonerful. There are scarcely two whose experience is alike in every particular."(Testimonies 65-66)



We visited our friends at the pond. Canada Goose, the mute swan, grey legged geese, embden geese, 




Some goose are really funny and have their own personality, we named one the shouter, because he's always shouting and in this picture shows exactly what they do when they shout! Somehow I thought that goose didn't have tongues, but there it is.


And this is it for today :)

Have a happy and blessed day with Jesus as your best Friend!

Kindly

Lucy

2023- Larissa’s Birthday

  “ For we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. “ (1 Corinthians 4:9) I read that verse this morning in a devotional and it made me think of yesterday when Larissa and I were in a boat ride. We are visiting Paris for her very special 15th Birthday and I praise God for the opportunity of being here visiting this country and seeing the beautiful and historical sites and in our boat ride yesterday in the Seine River we were in a big boat with other 600 people were we could either ride downstairs or upstairs in a big deck type outlooking all the historical sites but specially seeing people sitting by the river. Something very peculiar would happen when our boat was passing by these people. They were probably used to see this boat and “wave” to the unknown people inside the boat! During the one hour boat trip I could watch with intense interest those that didn’t wave at first starting to wave and there from the city some people would make heart shape with their ha

A Higher goal...

Today I reached my goal! The 30 days of writing a thankful note daily is finished.  I truly didn't know how to start a blog but how much easier it's to put an end in something. I had everything that I wanted to write in my mind all day long.  And now it's like a blank came....Though writing is a therapy to me, somedays it was becoming an obligation and not a thankful note, and other times I didn't know I could say so much and do so much at once. The recipes I shared, the routine I wrote it down, the pictures taken all was not planned by me but I know that there's someOne Higher than I and Knows the end from the beginning He touched me to write every single post because all things may not happen the ways we plan but it sure happens the way God has planned.  However sometimes I would stay up 'till late and miss the talk with my husband because I got to write down all the things I did throughout my day and this way I didn't miss only the night talking with my h

Spring time is here - April 2022

Spring time is here and again I’m writing about it for another year.  I just can’t keep quiet without saying anything when mornings appear and birds are singing happily everywhere, flowers are blooming and enlightening our eyes and the sun shines till late bringing marvelous sunsets, all showing that God is love!  “The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing  of birds  is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;” Song of Solomon 2:12  And here I leave to you my favorite quote in a devotional for today: “ God's Word and the Creation “Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” Luke 12:27 . In their original perfection all created things were an expression of the thought of God. To Adam and Eve in their Eden home nature was full of the knowledge of God, teeming with divine instruction. Wisdom spoke to the eye and was received into the heart; for t
