The Priest's Breastplate:

Exodus 28:29-30
And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually. And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummin; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before the LORD: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.

Note taken from my Bible Dictionary and Concordance: U'rim and Thum'min (light and perfection). The Scriptures do not describe Urim and Thummin, nor does Jewish tradition give any information. It was placed in the high-priest's breastplate in order to be upon his heart when he went in before the Lord, and was the medium through which the divine will was sought and made known. Exod. 28:30, 1 Sam. 28:6

Sunday Scripture Blessings 8 11 19

Hope everyone had a great week and are enjoying a peaceful Sunday with beautiful weather. We have cooled a bit so it was nice to sleep with windows open and nice night breeze. My week was spent with getting back to doing some sewing making a baby gift for a baby girl due the grand-daughter in September, and a purse as well as items that will be added to my Etsy once I get it back up and running. Will share some of those crafts on my Peabea Scribbles in another post.

You're next if you'd like to share a scripture. Thank you for those that do as well as any comments. All are looked forward to and appreciated. 😊

HAPPY SUNDAY

Pictorial Tuesday Link Up 8 6 19 and Recycling Idea

I think I've shared this before, but thought I'd share it again since where I live, the bugs seem to be getting worse when sitting out and enjoying the day or evening. A cuter way for keeping the bugs away.

If you like to be outdoors, but not so crazy about the little pests that fly around, I have a recycling idea. I saw these citronella vases in the local store selling for upwards of $20 or more, but being on a retirement budget, I decided to make some out of my own vases.

This vase was a gift candle.

After the candle was gone, I hated to part with it, and kept it.

Now it has a new use.

I had this refillable canister from one of those bamboo torches that was also a gift from a few years back that was broken

so I made this for my front porch area at a cost of $0

Then I found this vase at Goodwill for $1.00

and it needed a taller refillable canister, which I bought for $3.99

Combined, I thought it looked pretty good for my patio area.

I hope you like the idea and have fun making some of your own for when you're having outdoor fun, plus I think they look great compared to just a generic bug away product. :)

Don't you just love recycling bargains? I do....and, I like scribbling about my finds.

Some who visit Pictorial Tuesday may know that my husband passed away in May of this year. He and I always drank a pot or two of coffee in the mornings and throughout the day. My kids mentioned that instead of me now making a full pot of coffee that I should buy a ©Keurig. I had bought one a few years ago, but I sold it after seeing how expensive it was for hubby and I to go through the coffee pods. Anyway, where I'm going with this is that the Keurig's are expensive for me, but with being a thrift store person, this was my thrift store find just this past weekend. It looks like new so thought I'd take a chance on it, and it works great. I paid a whole $19 after discounts. This way, I'm not wasting the bottled water (don't use our well water anymore) and coffee, but I kept the regular coffee pot for when the kids visit or company, and I won't have to buy that many of those little coffee pods. You can see I left the price sticker on for a bit in case I do have to take it back, but so far so good.

Now on to sharing your photography, digital graphics, photos of what you've been up to and even crafts if you like. A picture is a picture, and it's all photography (but please, family friendly) so share away, and visit others who link up.

Thank you. Enjoy your day, and sending God's blessings your way,

Peabea

A Bit of Bible Journaling

Even though we can't see or touch we have Faith because of his promise.. Matthew 28:20

Feel free to take my Sunday Scripture Blessing Button

Even in all wisdom, man cannot know the plans of God under the Sun. So eat, drink, be merry because it is God's plan - not ours no matter how hard we try. But discern and Live a righteous life. Look to yourselves and not to others because we each have our own path that God has planned. Others' actions should not impact ours even when they seem to be rewarded for bad actions. So be merry and happiness from God will allow his Love to show through us, and maybe those actions will impact others as needed. Man's vanity where God is concerned is useless. With all that Solomon had attained in the end, I think he realized the true worth of righteous things vs his vanity attempts at happiness.

More and more as I read through the Bible and closeness with God, it becomes evident that the beauty of life is truly in the simple things. Another wake up to enjoy God's green earth, a day without misfortune, a smile from a child that we pass in the grocery, a kind word or a hug. Even when not aware, there are many blessings that are from God in our daily life.
Thankful I Am.

Pictorial Tuesday Link Up 7 30 19

Visited a car show with my daughter and grandson over the week-end. First time I'd ever gone. Such fancy, elaborate cars that people collect and/or drive. I didn't take many pictures of the more sporty ones, but did get some of the older cars. Probably my favorite to see since they were all the rage when I was young, and now the grandson thinks they are so old. He says some look like space vehicles. 😊 Anyway, that's my latest photo outing. I didn't even adjust them, they are straight out of the camera. And, of course, I had to take some of the flowers that were around the shopping mall where the vehicle car show was being held, and a fountain.

Now it's your turn for sharing your photography, digital graphics or photos turned into artwork. Anything that is Photo related, and always family friendly. Thanks for visiting and sharing. Link is below.

Sunday Scripture Blessings 7 28 19

The Barren Fig Tree Cursed:

Prayerfully, I pray I am not like the fig tree. I can only wish that over the years, I have grown fruit for God if only in a gentle word with someone, or mannerisms. God knows me, so only he knows the answer to this parable that still applies to our world today. So many ways, we can be like a producing fig tree. The scripture below the story of the fig tree, Jesus reassures that in all things, all it takes is faith, and many things can be achieved. Faith can move mountains, and we do see it every day when we help with a prayer chain for an illness, for others who have concerns in their life. Miracles happen around us each and every day.

I have a simple example when not even thinking about faith or God's help in the situation. Such a simple act, but in the end, I give the credit to God in this minute happening. I went to my sister's to swim and visit. When the grandson and I hopped out of the car, my brain said, just put your purse in the car trunk area. No need to take it in. I did, and locked the car. Immediately, I knew what I had done. Keys to my car were in my purse now locked in my car. My brain did a quick run through of who might have a key to my house to retrieve a second set of keys. One son lives over an hour away and was at work, one son lives in another state four hours away, but, just maybe, my nurse daughter who also has a key to my house just might be working at the local hospital in the town where my sister lives. She was. So after the visit, my sister ran me over to the hospital to retrieve her keys to my house, took me home, got my second set of keys, and back to my car. Problem solved and I could quit panicking.

However, that is not the miracle that I did not know had transpired until about a week or so later. My daughter, the nurse, related to me in a conversation that she had quit taking that set of keys to work with her in the past few months. She needed none for work that were on that set. She said though, that day, something just said, (well we know who...not what) take that set of keys with you today. Small simple miracle that I am so thankful for because otherwise would have had to call locksmith, etc. to get home. Miracles happen every single day, even little ones. It was a blessing, and I am counting it as one. I think God knew that I did not need an added stress to the last few months, he saw my needs, and acted as he does. I thanked him that day, and again the day my daughter told me about the keys.

Time for another Sunday Scripture Blessings, and the link up is below. Have a wonderful Sunday.

Pictorial Tuesday Link Up 7 23 19

Kids came for a visit and grand-daughter wanted to camp out in the yard. So tent goes up, and campfire fun.
They did sleep out all night, but I chose to stay in and enjoy the bed comfort and AC and fans.

Son and family brought me some green beens from their garden ~ very delicious. And of course had to have corn. First Summer meal. Perfect with added tomatoes. The corn was really sweet and delicious. Love Summertime veggies.

Our Patio cement is old and rough, but cleaning and a fresh paint job made it look much more summery.

Went to a local Bent and Dent with the son and his family. I’d been hunting a new bedspread for the spare bedroom, and found this for only $8.50 vs the $30 and $40 that I’d seen in the local stores. It is exactly like the ones I’d been wanting. Who doesn’t like a bargain. It’s not bent nor dent..haha. It’s brand new, but you can find some nice food products and items. It is run by the Amish. A bit dark in their shops as they have no electricity, but fun to venture into their world for just a bit.

Below is the link for your sharing of some of your photography you’ve been taking, or digital scrapbooking graphics. Photos manipulated into artwork welcome also. Request all be kept family friendly.

Sunday Scripture Blessings Link Up 7 21 19

The Definition of Love

The refined, pristine, perfect definition of Love is....well, let's explore. The above scripture gives us a bird's-eye view of what love truly embraces: patience and kindness and lack of pride, jealousy, or rudeness. Love isn't demanding nor is it irritable, and it keeps no record of wrongdoing. It rejoices in the truth and never quits or loses faith!

What Christian exemplifies all of those attributes all of the time? None. Now read today's verse again and substitute the word love with God. Ready? Next, read the verse as if God were talking to you personally. He never gives up on you, never loses faith in you; and His love never fails. Most of all, despite your imperfections and failures, He continues to love you.

C.S. Lewis said, "He loved us not because we were lovable, but because He is love." What is the true definition of love? God.

(words are not mine, but were copied from my Daily Wisdom for Women 365 Daily Devotional Bible) Sharing because they make lovely sense to me. ❤

Thank you for visiting Peabea Scribbles, and please share a scripture blessing in the link up below or in the comment section if you don't have a blog to link up. Hope all have a happy and blessed week ahead.
