Veronica & Naomi Take Road Trip

Naomi and Veronica decided to take a quick shot over to Niagara Falls last week. It was their first "spontaneous road trip" together. Don't they look happy?















Katie painted this mural on our kitchen wall last week. She's been doing murals here and there on the side. She and Veronica decided to have some fun with the kitchen and help promote her work. The Setting is Meads Bay on the island of Anguilla just off St. Martin. National Geographic calls it the 5th most beautiful beach in the world. It was stunning...and now it's in our kitchen.

Unity






Here are some verses on unity for today:

Psalm 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Acts 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Romans 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

Romans 15:5,6 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

2 Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Ephesians 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Philippians 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

Philippians 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Philippians 3:16,17 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

1 Peter 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous

Horizons



You can't pin down a winter breeze
his shoulders are too wide
we reach to the horizon
where the landscape is his bride

they seem to move in unison
the sun sets, then they hide
beneath the vale of darkness
as the moon brings in the tide

by morning the vale is lifted
we wake from tuffled dreams
the warmth of day arouses us
white light is cast in beams

we reach once more to earths great edge
new horizons have arrived
this is the day our master made
and in it we will thrive.
