Outside my window..... it is cloudy after a bright start to the day. At 2.30pm it is 24C.
I am thinking ... of my daughter's phone call this morning. She is fine, her daughter's too, and she has two new female cria (baby alpacas), the last of the season, one born this morning.
I am thankful for my family and all the lovely things in my life.
From the kitchen......nothing much today, we had lunch in Lismore while were over there today. I was getting a gift for daughter's birthday.
I am wearing... still in my walking clothes from early this morning. red Heart Foundation polo shirt, 3/4 gym pants, and trainers and socks.
I am going... to look into the best way to get to Sydney and on to the Blue mountains myself (we usually drive) to have a weekend with daughter and also attend an event. It is not for sure yet as daughter is finishing an At Distance Uni course and has to check that she won't be in crisis mode geting the last assignments in, but she agrees that with this much notice she should be able to manage. .... more later.
I am reading.... the plane and train timetables.
I am hoping ..... that it all works out.
I am hearing.... Hubby getting ready as he is going to visit some freinds.
Around the house.... we've decided that mouse I mentioned last week has moved in and brought some friends. Hubby ordered a mouse trap that catches the mouse live so that he can relocate them.
One of my favourite things... my books on my ancestor.
A few plans for the rest of the week....Bible Study starts a new session this week, lovely to see my friends again, then a Morning Tea to attend with them on Thurs, there will be about 100 there, and we will be going away for a few days on Friday, need to start getting our RV ready tomorrow afternoon.
Here is the picture for thought I am sharing. One of my dear new friends mentioned she loves lighthouses, (and oceans, lakes and rivers too), and I do too, and I looked for a picture to share. This is the closest Lighthouse to where we live and there used to be goats on the cliffs here years ago, and it was wonderful to go to see them, but the authorities in their wisdom removed them. This view better than the ones I have and from the web.
"He's the comforting presence
We seek in the night.
In life's darkest hour.
He's an unfailing light." from One Minute Devotions. B.J.Hoff

There is a view of beautiful, crystal blue water from the lighthouse. I love it. I like your devotional words too...reminds me of the song "I thank God for the lighthouse, I owe my life to him, for Jesus is the lighthouse and from the rocks of sin, He has shone a light around me, that I might clearly see. If it wasn't for the lighthouse, where would this ship be?" Such beautiful imagery and your photo is perfect for such a song as this.
Enjoy the planning of and the visit to the Blue Mountains :-)

and scripture verse together;something

trip!

Lighthouses, what a delightful topic ..... did you know that the second-oldest lighthouse on the North American continent, and the first Canadian one, went into service at the French fortress of Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island in 1734. Louisberg Lighthouse It was destroyed by British troops during the siege of 1758, and not rebuilt until 1842; the rubble of the original tower is still visible at the base of the current lighthouse, which dates from 1923.
The oldest existing lighthouse in the world is La Torre de Hercules located in La Coruña, in Galicia, Spain. They say this lighthouse dates back to ca. 20BC!!! Imagine everything that this lighthouse has seen! Please read more about the Tower of Hercules here.
