Faith and Spirituality – Page 50 – watercress words by Dr Aletha

Worship That Pleases God

Continue loving each other as brothers and sisters in Christ.

Always remember to help people by welcoming them into your home. Some people have done that and have helped angels without knowing it.

Don’t forget those who are in prison. Remember them as though you were in prison with them.

And don’t forget those who are suffering. Remember them as though you were suffering with them.

Weekend words is a regular feature of watercress words. At the end of the work week we share words of faith, hope and love from the Bible and other carefully selected writings.

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:

to look after orphans and widows in their distress and

to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
James 1:27, NIV

let religion be less theory, more love — Lightstock.com (affiliate link)

La religión pura y sin mácula delante de nuestro Dios y Padre es ésta:

visitar a los huérfanos y a las viudas en sus aflicciones,

y guardarse sin mancha del mundo.
Santiago 1:27, LBLA

Who was Chesterton?

G.K. Chesterton, in full Gilbert Keith Chesterton (born May 29, 1874, died June 14, 1936), English critic and author of verse, essays, novels, and short stories, known also for his exuberant personality and rotund figure.

Frances Chesterton

“This is a love story. But it is also a detective story. And best of all, it is a true story, told here for the the first time. Gilbert Keith Chesterton was a romantic, a writer of detective tales, and a teller of the truth. His own story and the stories he told are becoming better and better known. But what has remained unknown is the story of the most important person in his life: his wife Frances.
Nancy Carpentier Brown has done incredible detective work to uncover the mystery of Frances, tracking a figure who managed to leave very few traces of herself.
It is quite likely that as more is discovered about Frances, more biographies will be written of her, and they will be even more complete. But they will all come back to this one.” Amazon
