~ *GIFTS of BEAUTY* !! ~

O Father, You have draped me in the garments of salvation and wrapped me snugly in the robe of righteousness. I am beautifully adorned by You - for You.

You have given me all I need to live a joyful life, and I rejoice in Your gifts of beauty.

In Jesus name. Amen.

~ "short HOLIDAY.." ~

"Hi,
Returned TODAY from the previously mentioned and anticipated rest-break at Ocean Grove (haven't completely unpacked as yet). It was lovely and am feeling refreshed. Went on a couple of "touristy" outings and ate simple, nutritional meals. Admired the ducks, galahs and magpies that harmoneously wander around the beautiful garden surroundings of where I stayed.

ALMOST seven (7) days until Christmas Day - time really does fly. Have completed the expected preparations and those that I can do. Came home to an accessorised Christmas tree COMPLIMENTS from our youngest daughter. What a delight she is to have done that! "I'ts beginning to look alot like Christmas" .. I've heard those words before!!!

The ducks would now be muzzling amongst the green grass (it's been raining alot) for their food from where I've visited for the past week. It's nearing onto the darkness of night. I just love them. APPARENTLY they had arrived in the afore-mentioned garden grounds about eighteen (18) months ago and they have stayed. I know I'll think of them often."

Grateful greetings to you all,
Kim.

we flung us on
a windy hill,
laughed in the sun, and kissed
the lovely grass". (Rupert Brooke)
