Queen Justine.
I said I was going post a few blogs on insights from our recent Israel trip. That was before Thanksgiving and a quick trip to my sister’s in San Luis Obispo. Anne and I took grandchild Justine and surprised Sue, adding to her already abundant guest list of 35-plus. Two and a half more didn’t put even a dent in the refrigerator-full of leftovers. And as it happened, Justine was only interested in the rolls, just three of them.
After the meal and the traditional go-around of what we were thankful for, I couldn’t deny that what heads my list is God himself. My reasons: it seems conceivable that one could have nothing, but having God (and knowing it) be altogether content. On the other hand, one can be as rich as a queen and still, without God, be hungry.
And that’ll be my offering to you today.
We’ll do Israel another.

Thanks Hyatt for this post. Concise yet full of the Essential. Reminds me of what my friend said a while back, He is all we need, all we have, all we ever wanted. By the way, that photo of Justine looks like a good portrait to paint.

What a lovely princess as a subject for a canvas.
Yes, the Saviour is all we need and look forward to the day when I shall see Him face to face!

Loved this and loved the photo- funny thing: I just blogged what you shared around our table. I took a lot more words to quote you however, and then gave up and sent people here. take a look at: welcomeheart.com and enjoy it all over again.

Such a poignant image of Justine. What a year this sweet child has been through, as you all have in various ways. She has weathered it well. You have shown transparent courage & by sharing these moments with us have brought an awareness of the painful but also thankful journey for Vernon.
May your Holiday & approaching Christmas be affirming of all that is good –
SO appreciate the visit earlier this year. I would love to consider another –
Watch this space!!
John & Sylvia too.
