Even the sparrows and swallows are welcome to come and nest among your altars and there have their young,
O Lord of hosts, my King and my God!
O Lord of hosts, my King and my God!
How happy are those who can live in your Temple, singing your praises.
Happy are those who are strong in the Lord, who want above all else to follow your steps.
Psalms 84: 3- 5

Thank you for visiting.
Many thanks for leaving comments on any of my posts.
A perfect verse for this picture. Happy Mother's Day, I hope it is a lovely one.
ReplyDeleteHI Ginny Many thanks for your kind comment and Happy Mother's Day to you. It is NOT Mother's Day here in the UK, we had that on 30 March. I was looking up a web site that told you the origins of Mother's Day and thought you might like to know it had Christian origins. The web site is http://www.followuk.co.uk/mothers-day.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
You were being watched, methinks.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo . . . Happy Day to you!
ReplyDeleteThe photo is lovely! I hope you are having a bright sunny day!
ReplyDeleteso nice seeing you post on psalm 84 today. that's what we're studying in our bible study. it's a study based on being Stronger by Angela Thomas. she speaks heavily on this passage. it's been great so far. love the swallow, btw... hope all is well. have a great day~
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo Margaret. It looks so much like an oil painting.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than getting a view of nesting birds.

Your swallow looks just like ours--that pouty face is so cute!
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret, I love watching the nesting birds this time of year. In fact, I'm a new Bird Grandma.... My Bluebirds fledged yesterday--and I got a photo of one of them. I think there are 4 in all. Mom and Dad are busy feeding and taking good care of them. We all need to learn from the birds, don't we?
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
Cute! Soon there will be babies! :)
