Amazed

Happy Easter!

The last word of the Lent challenge is:  AMAZED. A good word for Easter Sunday. It's amazing and awesome and marvellous that Jesus came back to life. 

Herself doesn't feel well enough to go to church these days so we cuddled up together and watched BBC's Songs of Praise to celebrate Easter with many other followers of Jesus in a similar position.

Celebrating the amazingness of Easter!

We also went for an Easter walk this afternoon. Enjoy.

Herself loves trees in blossom, especially against a blue sky.

I was happily ambling along when I heard a voice:
'Come on Scamper! Photo shoot!'

Herself and I don't know the path ahead of us or what the next twelve months will bring.
But we are choosing to trust God our Father -
and hope that by next Easter we will be able to celebrate His Son's resurrection in church.

Among

Today's word in the Lent challenge is AMONG.

Aren't these tulips marvellous?

Teddy Bears' Picnic Here

I haven't posted a photo for the Lent challenge in a while. A bear's life is a busy one! Today's word is here.

Last Friday I had some fun here, at home, with Herself and my friends.

Herself was feeling a bit low so to cheer her up we decided to have a teddy bears' picnic. I helped in the kitchen making paw-sized chilli-cheese scones and ginger cup cakes. We all had great fun.

Enjoy the photos!

Yum!

Checking I've remembered all the ingredients.

Love these cheery cup cake cases.

Ta da!

We got out the Tweety-Pie teapot and everything.
(No puddy tats here though.)

I'm sitting next to my best friend Kik-A-Boo, still wearing her fluffy Christmas scarf.

Smiles all round.

Super-fun way to spend an afternoon.

Living

Living orchid
(amazing when you consider Herself was once banned
from keeping plants by her work colleagues who set up the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Plants.
She's come a long way since then.
Thank goodness.)

Repent

Repenting is so much more than an apology.
But saying sorry is a good place to start.

Rest (2)

This is how I enjoy resting when it's cold and windy outside.

It's hard to beat a good book and a mug of tea.

Accomplish

Today's word for the Lent challenge is ACCOMPLISH.

Trying to accomplish something.

Dazzling

The word for today's Lent challenge is DAZZLING, and here are two photos from our trip to Monsal Head last summer.

Sun rays over a waterfall.

Beautiful blue sky over Headstone Viaduct.

Pray

Herself is learning to be real with God in prayer. I like it best when she sings but sometimes she shouts angrily and other times she cries. It's messy but, from a small bear's understanding, I don't think God minds. I think He likes mess and realness coming from the heart.

Learning to be real in prayer.

Rest

This is Day 5 of the Lent challenge (for days 3 and 4 you will have to visit Herself's blog). Today's word is: REST.

Just chilling on a Sunday in the garden

Tempted

This is Day 2 of the Lent challenge: TEMPTED.

Full

Lent starts today! Herself and I thought it would be fun to do Rethink Church's Lent photo-a-day challenge. Sometimes I will post a photo and other times Herself will write a short post on her blog.

Today's word prompt is FULL.

Full of beauty.
