WEATHER

In Scotland people usually talk about weather. Probably because it rains a lot. Anyway, you have just to go for a walk that you are going to hear:

LOVELY DAY!

BEAUTIFUL DAY!

OH! HORRIBLE WEATHER!

Everybody knows that I avoid certain words, basically they are call off my vocabulary. But, yesterday I heard the last comment about three times in 10 minutes. I usually give a smile back, in this case a "sad smile", and I have just decided to ask this question:

DO YOU KNOW WHY SCOTLAND IS GREEN?

Of course the answer was...BECAUSE IT RAINS A LOT OVER HERE...

Very simple. It is fine, and gentle rain.

God Bless !

TASTING THE NEW

My friend from Brazil has always a refreshment for me. I have been very busy lately, but besides been common for someone modern, is at the same time an alert to not be far away of life in itself. Life, I mean, time for some reflection, for enjoyment, for friends and family, and for my blog. There has been six days without thinking of blogging. It is not good at all.

Thanks my friend for your advice. There is some basic knowledge inner inside, that for some reason it doesn't flow. It is why friends are for.

Watch for your friend! It is the best feeling! A friendly word, encouragement, lovely care...

“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.”- Ephesians 4:2

WISDOM

“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”

James 1:5

VIDEO OF JOHN PIPER "ON THE PROSPERITY GOSPEL"

I wouldn't like to paraphrase the words of John Piper about people who are using the gospel to promote the prosperity. But, as a Brazilian and with some life experience in visiting different Churches and different denominations, I understand how dangerous this approach is for the ones who are in need of everything. I mean, basic food and supply to live with dignity.

I wish you can watch this video:

SUNRISE IN BROUGHTY FERRY

In the winter the day is very short, although there are some beautiful moments during the day we can eternalize with a good shot.

Nice to be there and appreciate for couples of minutes this glorious sunrise.

It is an expression of love, when you take a deep breath and enjoy the beauty.

This is a moment of happiness for my eyes and my soul.

BLUE SKY

I always see the jets crossing the sky in Scotland, but this is the first time I get a picture which I can see the missels.

Scaring!!! Those are what the men are holding in their hands. Basically "life"!!!

There is so much to say...

HAPPINESS

Why do we look for happiness?

Why do we see in God our hope for a better life?

God is above everything. He is perfect and He is always patient, content, and He is the only one able to make our wish to come true, because His plans for us is all good.

Most of the time we have very small thoughts about what we want. We are satisfied of making mud balls in the slam. Instead, we should dream with our holidays on the beach. God has and wants so much more for us. He cares and He can make more than we can imagine and dream.

Happiness...happiness...

“No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”

1 Corinthians 10:13
