I Need Thee O... I Need Thee

I Need Thee O... I Need Thee

I Need Thee O... I Need Thee

Every Hour I need thee...

Oh bless me Now my Saviour

I come to thee.

A Pearl Seeker: Seek to be Ready

Women, help each other. The preamble to this chapter talked about the need for women to mentor each other.  To be willing to love each other, step into each other lives, to be to others what we would have them be to us. 

Matthew 25 reminds us to always be ready. To be ready for the Lord to return.   Seek always to be ready. 

It's an active readiness you know...not one that counts on someone else to be ready, you need to be ready yourself.  No leaning on others readiness, it's one of your own preparedness.

You need to be prepared for it taking longer than you expect, or coming sooner than you thought. 

So stay alert, be ready, don't be sleeping.   The Bridegroom is a coming!

Art Book: Wild Garden

 Do you remember A Hand Lettered Life from last week?   This is another in the Scratch and Create Series that I thought you might like to know about.   Wild Garden is a set of postcards, making them ideal work on anywhere you find yourself needing to wait around and the finished product makes an excellent quick thank you gift for those you meet along the way.

Review: NIV Revolution Bible

The Revolution Bible is a bible geared toward young men, from teenagers on up.It's actually a fairly neat bible with some interesting features.

It's actually hard to know where to start with this review.  It has so many features and I can't list them (lest the review get too long and wordy) so I'm pondering how to break it down for you.

Canada Book: Courage & Conquest

 Donna Ward is well known for her Canadian Workbooks, Courage and Conquest is part of that line of workbooks.  It focuses on the history of Canada from the viking through to the joining of Newfoundland and Nunavut to Canada.

What I do when I Rest... READ!

You know what I do when I rest?   One of two things... colour in my colouring book and ... READ.  I, if I'm totally honestly, read more than I do anything else when I am at rest.   What do you do?

So did you know that this month I took some time to rest?   I read book or two.  :)   Not as many as I would have liked...but I read some books.

Review: Gospel Tracts and Evangelism Tools Sample Pack

Hey!   I gotta tell you about this nifty little product, one that will help you share the gospel with the children in our lives.   I would never have known about such neat little ways to share the gospel with children before seeing this sampler pack from Let the Little Children come.   Boy, tracts have come a long way baby! 

What we received was a sample pack of the various tracts produced by Let the Little Children Come.   And wow.. I was impressed by most of it.  Well done products to intrigue children as you help them learn more about our Lord and Saviour. 

Things We Learn from Our Children

I wanted to do a post focused on things I have learned from my lad, but my lad wasn't real keen on that as a topic, so I asked him...what if I asked OTHER parents what they have learned from their children and just throw in the odd tidbit of what I have learned from you and you know what?   He thought that was a great idea!

So without further ado...

Let Yourself Be Refined

Refine, to be changed, to have the impurities removed, to improve something.

Refiner's Fire

My hearts One Desire

Is to be ...holy

Set apart for you my master

Ready to do your will.

Hymn Study: Follow On

Today's word of the day for the Write 31 Day Challenge is Follow.  So I thought I'd look for a hymn (cause it's Sunday you know) but didn't know one off the top of my head, so I went a hunting and found this one called Follow On (Down in the valley with my saviour I would go).  I like the upbeat tune and could probably have a lot of fun singing this song. :)

Review: Flashes of Genius Series

Today I have for you four books in the Flashes of Genius Series by Luca Novelli. They are Darwin and the True Story of Dinosaurs, Einstein and the Time Machine, Leonardo da Vinci and the Pen that Drew the Future, and Newton and the Antigravity Formula. 

Walking Through the World

I wrote this poem in response to a connections idea with the Breathe Conference I attended Oct 6-7 this year.  I thought it fit well with today's word prompt CONNECT.

 

Walking through the world I realize

that I am not alone.

Fun Friday: Art is Science plus printable

 As you may or may not remember I'm teaching a class called mudworks where we are experimenting with making different types of doughs out things you might not expect.

Up this week were doughs from bread, starch, shampoo and toothpaste.   Four stations with children at each of them.  Stay tuned for printable below.

I told the children that doing art like this was also doing science.  You have the basic ingredients, but things like weather and humidity can affect the amounts that you use.

Review: Caroling Through The Psalms

Hi!   Do you remember me reviewing a book called Psalm Hymns?  It's fine if you don't, but it was this cool book that put the words of the Psalms to familiar tunes.   Well, they have put out a boof called Caroling through the Psalms.

Overcome, See It!

We shall we shall 

We shall overcome

We shall we shall

We shall overcome.... 

I remember these words from Sunday school as a child.

I don't remember the rest of the song, but I do remember it was something to do with overcoming the stuff that happens in life through God's help.

Overcome, See It!

Pearl Seeker: The Hands of Time

My life is but a weaving

Between my God and me;

I cannot choose the colours

He weaveth steadily

  (part of a poem quoted by Corrie Ten Boom)

Time.

I Don't Like Change

"But we don't like change", were the first words out of my hubby's mouth when I said to him "I'm stuck, the word is change".  And so a post was born.  :)

Art Book: Hand Lettered Life

 Today I have a bit of a different book for you.  You know how sometimes I like to look at Adult Colouring Books?  Well today I have a new format of a 'colouring book' for you, called a Scratch and Create.  This one is called Hand Lettered Life and was put together by Shandra Smith.

Because I Said So

My lad and I were talking the other day about how he HATES IT when parents say do it, or stop it, or whatever it ... BECAUSE I said so.  So having the word prompt gives me a chance to talk about that conversation a bit.
