Scavenger Hunt Sunday — April 15, 2012


Scavenger Hunt Sunday items:

Simple
Just the simple sighting of California Golden Poppies
lets me know spring is on its way.

Grain

Who would have thought that the corn planted last year in this garden area would have self-sown to surprise us in the spring.

Stitch

Saturday, April 14, I visited Foothill Quilters Guild Show, Auburn, CA.
I knew there I would find some spectacular stitches.
This quilt pattern is called Spools with feathered heart quilting.

Transportation and Foamy bubbles I found on my way home from the quilt show.

Transportation


I wanted to visit the Flower Farm Nursery. It was closed, boo.
I saw these cute strollers for future gardeners.

  Foamy Bubbles

I spied a small pond with a duck.
I had to make a u-turn to see if something would work for my hunt,
instead,  I found this series of falls.
I love the sounds and sights of water with foamy bubbles.

I’m joining  Ashley at Scavenger Hunt Sunday.

Sunday Bible Reading — Matthew 7:24-27

“The Wise Man built his house upon a Rock!
This children’s chorus is the first one I learned. What a blessed truth for a young child to have as the foundation for her life!

Matthew 7:24-27
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

from Clark’s Commentary
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine – That is, the excellent doctrines laid down before in this and the two preceding chapters. There are several parables or similitudes like to this in the rabbins. I shall quote but the two following: –
Rabbi Eleasar said, “The man whose knowledge exceeds his works, to whom is he like? He is like a tree which had many branches, and only a few roots; and, when the stormy winds came, it was plucked up and eradicated. But he whose good works are greater than his knowledge, to what is he like? He is like a tree which had few branches, and many roots; so that all the winds of heaven could not move it from its place.” Pirke Aboth.

I will liken him unto a wise man – To a prudent man, a man of sense and understanding, who, foreseeing the evil hideth himself, who proposes to himself the best end, and makes use of the proper means to accomplish it. True wisdom consists in getting the building of our salvation completed: to this end we must build on the Rock, Christ Jesus, and make the building firm, by keeping close to the maxims of his Gospel, and having our tempers and lives conformed to its word and spirit; and when, in order to this, we lean on nothing but the grace of Christ, we then build upon a solid rock.

Trust God for your day, ….Today
With my prayers; desiring yours, Leslie
