She moved to Australia where she developed a passion for 'Treasure' hunting in opportunity shops. This led to her home becoming a refuge for orphaned bears and an assortment of hand made objects. Susan loves to spend her time creating beautiful country crafts and writing poems about her creations and life experiences. When not busily sewing or writing Susan enjoys hosting themed afternoon teas for her friends and relaxing in her home on the beautiful Gold Coast. May you enjoy Simply Susan's musings.

Consider The Lilies



These beautiful lilies reminded me of Jesus' words about worry.

"Don't worry about things - food, drink, and clothes. For you already have life and a body-and they are far more important than what to eat or wear. Look at the birds! They don't worry about what to eat - they don't need to sow or reap or store up food - for your heavenly Father feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than they are.
Will all your worries add a single moment to your life?
Look at the field of lilies! They don't worry about their clothes Yet King Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as beautifully as they. And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, won't he more surely care for you?
So don't be anxious about tomorrow. God will take care of your tomorrow too. Live one day at a time."

Fret not dear readers.

Behold!





Having just finished creating a bag by recycling a pair of old, discarded, denim jeans, I got to thinking, (as those who have read my Blogs before know that I often do) and I am reminded of the changes that occur in a life when the Gospel is embraced. Old things pass away, behold all things become new, a new life that now includes Jesus. New understanding, new perspectives a life that makes sense.

The old pair of discarded jeans becomes a new,(to some eyes) attractive, creation with new potential and purpose. A transformation to usefulness!

Do consider Jesus. You can read all about Him in The Bible, which contains the amazing account of his long ago predicted life, his time on earth and his message of hope and freedom to each one of us.
Enjoy the photo, please read The Book.
Blessings,
Simply Susan
