Its so very nice to read these Bible phrases, there was one that I had not heard before.

A good reminder of GODS love for us x

Any more?

Then Jesus spoke again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

By the waters of Babylon! When we sat down.

Galen Sat 05-Apr-14 22:53:54

And they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their hooks into pruning tools.
The lion shall lay down withe lamb
Nation shall speak peace unto nation
And they shall not make war any more.

Haven't looked it up, so that's a rough quote from Isaiah

"But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart".

I think of this simple young girl who accepted with faith the burden to be placed on her.

Apologies for being slightly irreverent, but my mothers friend, a devout Christian sent this one to the plumber ..just the bible reference
Matthew 11.3

Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

My father's favourite was from Paul's letter to Timothy.

Take a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

Father forgive them for they know not what they do.

His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me.

Psalm 137 Verse 9 : "Happy is the one who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks."

Moves me... away from it!

durhamjen Sun 27-Apr-14 22:58:56

Is that why there aren't so many sparrows these days, susieb, he's too busy watching you?

Maggiemaybe Sun 27-Apr-14 23:39:00

Lovely thought, feetlebaum. Perhaps not quite in the spirit of the forum?

Maggiemaybe Sun 27-Apr-14 23:44:38

And why would this move you away from the Bible anyway - assuming that you had any interest in it? As far as I'm aware, this particular psalm is recording persecution, not advocating it!

Whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
Ruth 1:16

And for summer in the Alps:
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

What a wonderful daughter-in-law!

Or maybe a bit too full on for this day and age?

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 28-Apr-14 09:29:43

Very hopeful for this day and age!
