Sunny, sunny Sunday!
Gotta love the sun!! It makes life seem brighter, laughs more sincere, troubles less troublesome and joy more tangible. Praise God for sunny days! <3
As you've probably guessed the spring has arrived to our wee village. the skirt is on, the birds are singing, all the windows are opened and I've come to life! NO more darkness and cold!! yay!! praise God indeed!! speaking of God; am just home from church and found some time for myself after having fed my lovely husband and Dustin, who are now off to do domething in the village. So, I'm sitting here with tho kittens snuggled up next to me and decided it was time to upsate my blog. Especially since it's been so long since I've done it. I keep telling myself that I'll get better at it, but it never seems to happen. anyhow, perhaps the sun will give me more inspiration that the never ending winter darkness. :D
speaking about light after the dark: after a decade of waiting, hope risen and then extinguish, rumours started only to be denied, decisions made, only to be revoked. It has finally happened. The BIG day has come when it started. I am of course speaking of THE BEGINNING OF THE SHOOTING OF THE HOBBIT!!!!!!! :D There is sreally no words for how excited I am!!! for someone who spend most of ones teenage years beig surrounded of all things Tolkien, this is beyond description!! and to make it even more exciting, guess what I found out?? We have a Swede involved in the movie!!!!!!!!!! yes, you heard right -a Swede!!! No other than Mikael Persbrandt in the role of Beor the man who changes into a bear. My national pride is growing every minute and I'm following the proceedings closely via The One Ring , the official fan page and the best covering of all things Tolkien.
I'll update you of any interesting happenings on or off set. Right now our prayers are with Peter Jackson and his family, as Peter has been hospitalised after collapsing due to a stomach ulcer.
That's all for now.
Enjoy the spring! :)

Off to work...
...in about 10 mins. Just wanted to say hello and good morning before I left. :)
hop everyone slept ok? I sure did (when I wasn't fighting for the blanket or some space in the bed than is).
Daniel's grandparents are visiting and gosh how productive we have been! the first day we had had breakfast, driven up to St. Andrews, had lunch, walked about a bit, had tea at the famous golf hotel, done some grocery shopping, stopped off in Anstruther and gone back home -and it was only 13.00!! what on earth shall we do the rest of the days, I thought, we have already done everything there is to do! But we've managed to come up with quite a bit - and we've had a great time. :)
I've forgotten how nice it is to gather in the living room with your grandparents and play wordgames and drink loads and loads of tea. I'm loving it! :)
time to go! have a cat on top of me, so I need to dehair before I leave. :)
until the next time:
Hello and good morning!!

Loving the unexpected
Having found a moment to sit and just check the news and whatnot, I stumbled onto this blog: Loving the unexpected It's hosted by a girl in the States, who has started this project she calls loving the unexpected. What she does (and encourage the rest of the world to do), is to do a random act of kindness each day. Say, holding up the door for someone, help someone, leave a note of encouragement for anyone to find and so on.
Anyone seen the movie "Pay it Forward" ? This wee boy gets an assignment in class to change the world and comes up with the idea of paying it forward. i.e you do something big for three people, but instead of paying you back, they pay it FORWARD to three other people, who in their turn pays it forward to three other people. Pretty soon you have a whole lot of people doing a whole lot of good for a whole lot of people. This blog is similar to that, or rather, simply the result of loving your neighbour as yourself -teat others as you would like to be treated.
God is love, we are created in his image; they shall know you by your love for one another; we love because he first love us - all of these quotes have tumbled about in my head recently as has Micah 6:8:
Come to think about it; there's a worship song I like about all this. check it out:
Andy Bromley -Love Mercy
Isn't it amazing how things come together?? So, my challenge, along with lovingtheunexpected (and Jesus, incidentally) to you all today is to aim to do something loving to a stranger -even a smile! A smile can make all the difference!
with love,
The Swede Turned Turnip

and what does the LORD require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
