Time for Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is M and Metal. This bronze/METAL statue of Amy Carmichael as a young girl stands in Hamilton Road in Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland, on the grounds of the Presbyterian church which is just round the corner from where I live. She was an Irish Christian missionary in India, who opened an orphanage and founded a mission in Dohnavur. She served in India for 55 years without furlough and wrote many books about the missionary work there.
Walking
on, I found MASSES of flowers in
planters and a MAGNIFICENT MORNING light over Bangor Bay. We seem to have a new sculpture "The MERRMAID" at the Long Hole. I passed a MERCEDES Benz MOTOR car and came upon a MULTICOLOURED railing giving me a MARVELLOUS REFLECTION image.
I appreciate your visit and comments.
55 years without a furlough? That is dedication.
ReplyDeleteLove the planters and the mermaid.
Many lovely M's.

55 years without furlough is a long time. She sounds like a dedicated woman. Love all the flowers and the mermaid. Happy Saturday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful reflection! I'd like to read Amy Carmichael's biography.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this post, Margaret. I knew of Amy Carmichael but I read more about her after your introduction. Lots of pretty flowers too. It was another nice walk for you, and for us.

ReplyDeleteHi Margaret,
ReplyDeleteI like all your "magnificent" flower photos, and your early morning captures. You picked some good "M" words! Have a nice week.
