There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts. Psalm 46:4-6
It’s Spring time and sharing time! What could be better. While it is raining outside my window it is warmer than it has been and the snow is all but gone! Hallelujah and that makes me feel like SHARING MY WORLD.
Here are this week’s challenge questions from our hostess Cee. After you have read my answers click the underlined link and see how others from across the world have answered the same questions.
What’s something you like to do the old-fashioned way?
I like to cut wood by hand. It’s slower but somehow more satisfying. I also like to bake without the help of electronics: no mixers or food processors, just good old fashioned elbow grease, knives and a whisk.
What’s your favorite genre of book or movie?
I love fantasy. Here is the series I am currently reading
How often do you people watch?
Whenever I go to the mall. Which means at Christmas.
What have you only recently formed an opinion about?
My future. I think I’m still in process on this one but I have some definite leanings.
Optional Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I am grateful for the rhythm of life I was able to establish last week. I am looking forward to remaining constant at it this week.
A river brings joy to the city of our God,
the sacred home of the Most High.

God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble.

and the mountains crumble into the sea.

Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge! Interlude Psalm 46:1-3

Listen to me, O royal daughter; take to heart what I say.
Forget your people and your family far away.
11 For your royal husband delights in your beauty;
honor him, for he is your lord.
12 The princess of Tyre[c] will shower you with gifts.
The wealthy will beg your favor.
13 The bride, a princess, looks glorious
in her golden gown.
14 In her beautiful robes, she is led to the king,
accompanied by her bridesmaids.
15 What a joyful and enthusiastic procession
as they enter the king’s palace!
16 Your sons will become kings like their father.
You will make them rulers over many lands.
17 I will bring honor to your name in every generation.
Therefore, the nations will praise you forever and ever. Psalm 45:10-17
