Photos taken on my one and only trip to Hampton Court Palace (a few years ago now!) ๐Ÿ˜€

Hampton Court Palaceย is a royal palace in theย London Borough of Richmond upon Thames,ย Greater London, and theย historic countyย ofย Middlesex; it has not been inhabited by theย British Royal Familyย since the 18th century. The palace is located 11.7ย miles (18.8 kilometres) south west ofย Charing Crossย and upstream ofย central Londonย on theย River Thames. It was originally built for Cardinalย Thomas Wolsey, aย favouriteย ofย King Henry VIII, circa 1514; in 1529, as Wolsey fell from favour, the palace was passed to the King, who enlarged itโ€ฆโ€ฆread more

I took this photo whilst walking around the market place in Epsom, Surrey.

Epsom Clock Tower was built in 1847, replacing the watchhouse which stood from the 17th century, and was built to 70 feet of red and suffolk brick, withย heraldic lionsย ofย Caen Stoneย at the four corners of the tower base. A bell was added in 1867. By 1902 the lions had been replaced by lanterns, (which were replaced by the current globe lights in 1920) and the toilet buildings added either side of the towerโ€ฆ..read more…

Farmer was succeeded by his grandson in 1838 under whom the gardens became famousโ€ฆread moreโ€ฆ.

Meet Marshall, one of my brother-in-laws.

The photo effect is from a new Mac app I am experimenting with at the moment so please be patient with me! I am trying to do more black and white photos as I really struggle with colours as i’m also colour blind.

I am really enjoying creating life from my old images though! ๐Ÿ˜€

As you may already know from my previous photos of “The Old Lighthouse” this is our favourite place to hire for a holiday in Norfolk.

“The Old Lighthouse is a holiday home with a difference! Built in 1666 on the cliffs of North Beach in Hunstanton, The Old Lighthouse was fully restored and converted to holiday accommodation in 1997.”ย

Dear Father

๐Ÿ™ Prayer 4 2day!ย 

“Dear Father, I want to commit my way — my heart, my life, my future, my abilities, my wealth, my family… — to you. I want to be used by you for your glory. I trust that you love me and long to give me your blessing along with your grace and salvation. I love you and thank you in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

๐Ÿ“– Verse 4 2day!ย 

John 14:6ย (NIV)
Jesus answered, โ€œI am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

My Thoughtsย ๐Ÿ’ญ

When we struggle with Guilt, worry, fear, people or any problem at all, the Bible says that we should take it to Jesus and he will free you from your chains and give rest to your soul.

So why, when we know the correct password to unlock all of these problems and issues isย “Jesus”. Why do we constantly insist on entering the wrong one!

Are you screaming at the issues for not accepting your password??

Tryย “Jesus”

๐Ÿ“– another Verse 4 2day!ย 

Matthew 11:28ย (NLT)
Then Jesus said, โ€œCome to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.


๐Ÿ™ Prayer 4 2day!ย 

“Dear Father,
I need you now because I am full of stress and anxiety. Reading your Word brings comfort, as I ask you to come and take my heavy burdens. I take each burden, one by one, and lay them at your feet. Please carry them for me so that I don’t have to. Replace them with your humble and gentle yoke so that I will find rest for my soul today. I receive your gift of peace of mind and heart. I know that you, Lord, will keep me safe. I am not afraid because you are always with me,ย Amen”

Description

This is one of the first photos I took since being registered Blind. I only had a compact camera back then as I didn’t know I would be any good at all at taking pictures, I thought it was a silly idea as it is a sighted person’s thing to do!

This photo was taken in Brighton, Uk, and is of the carousel horse that is right on the beach front.

image-husbands-love-your-wives

If you dont know already, I am very passionate about seeing men step into deeper, more intimate relationships with Christ. I am equally passionate about seeing men become better husbands and fathers. In our Bible Study group we are reading the book Man Alive, by Patrick Morley. Here are ten points I want to share with all of you, that the author shares with us, on how to really love a woman, a.k.a your wife (or future wife)!

Ephesians 5:25

For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her โ€ฆ

1. Pray with your Wife

I love when people tell me they have been praying for me, especially when I know they mean it and actually have been. I want my wife to feel that, and see how much I truly love her, cherish her and want herโ€ฆ

Stun me with awe and wonder

๐Ÿ™ Prayer 4 2day!ย 

“Jesus, stun me with awe and wonder today. Donโ€™t let me get tripped up with things that my mind cannot comprehend. Rather, free my soul to experience being โ€œborn againโ€. May the reality of my spiritual rebirth be the Truth that propels my life today in all I think, say, and do. Amen.”

Isaiah 58:7-9

โœž Verse 4 2day!ย 

“Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help. Then your salvation will come like the dawn, and your wounds will quickly heal. Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the LORD will protect you from behind. Then when you call, the LORD will answer. ‘Yes, I am here,’ he will quickly reply.”

Isaiah 58:7-9

Fantastic article! “In a Sermon about wallowing with pigs”

Julie B Cosgrove's avatarWhere Did You Find God Today?

Have you ever been โ€œwowedโ€ by a sermon? Yesterday in church, I was.

The Scripture for the day was such a familiar one- the Prodigal Son in Luke 15. Somewhere in Heaven, volumes must be stored up on this parable. One of my favorite oldie but goldie Contemporary Christian songs is โ€œWhen God Ranโ€ by Benny Hester and sung by Phillips, Craig & Dean.

ย 

ย 

ย 

But, my priest, Chris Culpepper at Christ the Redeemer Anglican, ย decided to concentrate on the least talked about person in the parable. Not the son, not the father, not the elder brother- but the man the prodigal son turned toย after heโ€™d squandered all his money.ย  โ€œAfter he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in the country and he began to beย in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country , who sent himโ€ฆ
