Quiztime

I am just back from the Sunday night pub quiz at "The Hammer and Pincers". My team did not win but we got a £10 token for four correct corners on the Bingo-style answer sheet. I only got four of the twenty five questions wrong - one behind the winners, Anyway, I think it's time for all you blogriders out there to attempt another quiz. Here we go:-

2. What do Americans call the boot of a car?

3. In which village does the famous Welsh blogger John Gray reside with his two Welsh terriers?

4. From which Beatles song was the following lyric taken - "If there's anything that you want/ If there's anything I can do/ Just call on me and I'll send it along with love..." ?

Love

I was listening to a sermon talking about when God was at His best. And this sermon is on repeat in my head. I need it imprinted on my heart. The greatest thing this pastor’s words did for me was give me initiative. Initiative to think about when I was at my best.

Was I at my best when I took my first step? Was I at my best when I fell down, and got back up, and tried it again? Was I at my best when I climbed the mountain or swam in the sea in rough waters? Was I at my best when I welcomed obstacles? If you’re on the outside, the answer may be yes. Honestly, I may say yes, even if I know that’s not the answer.

Was I at my best when I learned to harness my power? When I learned at accept love? I don’t know if that’s the correct answer. I don’t know the answer. It’s a question that will drive me. It’s a question that I want to explore. It scares me to answer it, but I look forward to the journey. Maybe the best of me is yet to be uncovered. My best isn’t what I done or who’ve met, but in what is to come.

The best in me is to come because of who God is, and what He needs me to see. So He can give me what He desires for me.

My own

The mountains beckon me

Year round

In summer

My nephew

Climbs the trees

Skips rocks

Uses stumps

As an obstacle course

And finds flowers

To pick

Enjoying

His antics

Makes me

Feel like

A kid again

Where joy

Is made

Not found

I see God

In the laughs

Emitted

Committed

To memory

For contentment

Is a commodity

Taken for granted

And not appreciated

As the gift

That is without

Price

Recounting memories that bring peace and joy to restore my contentment in creation. My own. His.

Trust

Obey

It starts

And ends

There

Lover yourself and one another
