Heart Overflowing

Heart Like Heaven by Hillsong Worship

   :  :  :

Gratitude goes beyond the 'mine' and 'thine' and

 claims the truth that all of life is a pure gift. 

In the past I always thought of gratitude as a spontaneous response

 to the awareness of gifts received, but now I realize that 

gratitude can also be lived as a discipline. 

The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort 

to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, 

a gift to be celebrated with joy.

Henri Neuwen

of Psalm 9:1

Let's exercise the discipline of gratitude,

Power to the Weak

I Just Need U by Toby Mac

   :  :  :

“A friend is more than a therapist or confessor, even though a friend can sometimes heal us and offer us God's forgiveness. 

A friend is that other person with whom we can share our solitude, our silence, and our prayer. 

A friend is that other person with whom we can look at a tree and say, "Isn't that beautiful," 
or sit on the beach and silently watch the sun disappear under the horizon. 

With a friend we don't have to say or do something special. 

With a friend we can be still and know that God is there with both of us.” 

Henri Nouwen

Live Graciously

Strength by Jonathan & Melissa Helser

   :  :  :

Seeing news this week has not been a pleasure ...
Yet, this is our time, our world, our reality.

A  quote from J.R.R. Tolkien's book, The Fellowship of the Ring, speaks:

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times.
But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is 
what to do with the time that is given us."

Here's a printable 

of Matthew 5:48 (MSG)
for you

... Let's be attentive and see, if it might be possible, somehow, 
to lighten up someone's darkness this week,

Photobook of Our Holiday in London {Saal Digital-Review}

We had a lovely trip to London in January 2017. To keep the memories vivid, I made a photobook of our holiday, using Saal Digital-services. I found Saal Digital-photobook services from Instagram, where I clicked their add, and landed on their website.

Saal Digitals software is easy to use, they have also software to Mac OS X, which I downloaded and started making the photobook.

I like the different layouts, you can choose, as well as a broad variation of background colors, with or without textures. 

The cool features I appreciate, are the many fonts for your text, and also the possibilities for shadow and other effects. 

Not only can you use a shadow effect to the text, but also to photos.

Varying the background of the photos gives a nice play to the book ...

- I choose more dramatic "space dark sky"-like background to the photos from our visit to Warner Bros studios, the awesome Harry Potter sets (The original props and costumes were fantastic!)

I am very happy with the quality of my photo book: I chose a hard cover book with glossy paper. The paper is thick, and you can adjust the number of the pages.

This is my first, but definitely not my last photobook, that is made with Saal Digital-services.
I appreciate that with Saal Digital, I can make a photobook that "looks like me" - I like the old typewriter font, the possibility to adjust the opacity of the background color, texture and also the different effects of the font / letters.

This photobook was delivered within 10 days, from Uk home to me in Denmark. 

Making Photobooks are a great way of reliving and savoring the holidays, aren't they?!

                                                                      Nina


I have received a voucher (value 25 pounds) for this product test, and for writing an honest product review.

A bikeride in Copenhagen

Bicycles outnumber cars in Copenhagen - it is faster to get around in downtown with a bicycle than with a var. You can park your bike easily, and moreover - biking is a lovely way to get around (when it's not a day with pouring rain!)

I like to find new ways to bike around - and thanks to another spontaneous turn, I found

this pretty light blue house - and took a snapshot of the house, and the charming old street light, wired upon street crossings. 

There are many green parks in Copenhagen. In the summertime, people come for picnics, or eat their pack lunches in the parks. 

I'm grateful for the work that is being done here to promote bicycling - bike lines, bike pathways and parking for the bikes ... It is environmental friendly - no pollution, and also good for the health of the bikers, that get daily motion. 

The reason I needed to bike to downtown was to get a leaf binder. I have been journalising with a Collect App the past 3 year - but I miss the feeling of holding a pen, handwriting, and gluing the daily photo to a journal. So - I found both a leaf binder in A5 size, and a sketch book,  watercolor paper - pretty decoupage paper and some washi paper... In sale!

Do you write journals, take snapshots of the occasions, or keep notebooks? 

There are so many ways of scribbling or typing a few lines, 

in order to cherish the moments,

... I'm joining to Michelle's Thankful Thursday,

until next time,

Nina
