A King FOREVER!

God is loving and faithful :) He promised David that his 'offspring' would be established as a KING FOREVER!

Psalm 89:1-4 
I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord, forever;
    with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.
2 For I said, “Steadfast love will be built up forever;
    in the heavens you will establish your faithfulness.”
3 You have said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one;
    I have sworn to David my servant:
4 ‘I will establish your offspring forever,
    and build your throne for all generations.’” Selah

Here's today's lineart for colouring :)

Advent 2018 - Jesus is the Reason for the Season

Good evening. It's the 1st of December today and thus the start of Advent.

Here's a little definition from Dictionary.com

Advent

noun.

1. the arrival of a notable person or thing.

    "the advent of television"

    synonyms: arrival, appearance, ermergence, materialization, surfacing, occurence, dawn, origin,

    birth, rise, development.

2. the first season of the Church year, leading up to Christmas and including the four preceding  

    Sundays.

    Christian theology 

    the coming or second coming of Christ.

As a Christian, Advent is when we look forward to Christmas and  celebrating the birth of Jesus, the King, "God with us" who would "save the people from their sins" :) He has arrived and done this and will return again one day! 

Each day during the lead up to Christmas I'm going to share a picture and a Bible passage. I'll put the line art images here on my blog in case you or some children in your life would like to colour them in. Below is today's image ... I'll post a new one every day :) 

The Bible passage can be read HERE

I've also set myself the task of December Daily this year.. I've made a little handmade journal that I will record (with photos and journaling) the months happenings :) Do you do anything for Advent or December Daily???

Monday meditation : Sweeter than Honey

Good afternoon ... I thought I would start a new segment on this blog...

To me "as a Christian" Meditation is about not emptying my mind but filling it with God's word. So each Monday (hopefully) I will be sharing something that I've been learning about God, his word etc and how it effects my life.

I hope you had a great weekend... I did... our church (Wild Street @ Five) had a weekend away on the weekend.... and whilst we didn't stay overnight (this weak gal needed to sleep in her own bed) we went during the days! It was fun to spend time with our brothers and sisters in Christ (We were reminded on the weekend how we are family - one in Christ Jesus ... through his death and resurrection we are united in Him. Because of Jesus.... We can call God our Father - how awesome is that!!!)

We were looking at "the Gender Agenda" - God's good design of men and women ... it was refreshing to be reminded of how God has created us and what he's created us for. Sometimes I can forget that we are part of something bigger. I was challenged to think outside my little world and to spend more time meditating on God's word - The Bible. It really is "sweeter than honey" :D

The campsite was lovely (same as last year) and Saturday was a gorgeous hot spring day... whilst not so great for allergies the blossom trees were looking BEAUTIFUL ... out in full bloom - I had to share the picture I instagrammed on here. There's a bit of a bee/ honey theme unintentionally  happening here as that tree was full of little bees!

I thought I would try and record some of the things I learnt/ was reminded of on the weekend in my Pink smash book... Still got a bit to do on it but here's what I've done so far. I think you might find me sharing a few more Smash pages here as this Pink book is set aside for some of my favourite/  inspiring bible verses.

Anyway thanks for stopping by,
I'll be back later in the week to share some Colouring/ Art/ Craft!

Sammi
