SUNDAY THOUGHT

1 Corinthians 13:12

It is the same with us. Now we see God as if we are looking at a reflection in a mirror. But then, in the future, we will see him right before our eyes. Now I know only a part, but at that time I will know fully, as God has known me.


Many thanks for visiting and also for leaving any comments.

Stay safe. 

Have a Blessed Sunday

WEEKEND REFELECTION AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for WeekendReflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is V and Violet.  Today I am starting with my VERY beautiful REFLECTION shot of VARIOUS yachts and motor boats moored in Bangor Marina.  Following this photograph and as I was walked round Botanica looking for VIOLET flowers, I found these 3 different ones, all in my opinion VERY lovely.

Joel 2:31-32

The sun will be given over to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and terrifying Day of the Lord. And everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be delivered.
