church – Page 2 – watercress words by Dr Aletha

New International Reader’s Version (NIRV)

My children, come. Listen to me.
    I will teach you to have respect for the Lord.
¹²Do you love life
    and want to see many good days?
¹³Then keep your tongues from speaking evil.
    Keep your lips from telling lies.
¹⁴Turn away from evil, and do good.
    Look for peace, and go after it.

Iglesia de Santo Domingo, Cuenca, Ecuador

I took these photos while on a volunteer medical service trip to Cuenca Ecuador a number of years ago. The 3-domed church in the featured image above is The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Spanish: Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepción). Thanks to Senior RV Adventure for helping me identify these beautiful churches.

Weekend words is a regular feature of watercress words. At the end of the work week we break from exploring medical topics to read words of faith, hope and love from the Bible and other carefully selected writings.

inform, instruct and inspire you to explore the HEART of HEALTH

Psalm 34: 7-10

New International Reader’s Version (NIRV)

The angel of the Lord stands guard
around those who have respect for him.
And he saves them.

⁸Taste and see that the Lord is good.
    Blessed is the person who goes to him for safety.
⁹You holy people of God, have respect for the Lord.
    Those who respect him have everything they need.
¹⁰The lions may grow weak and hungry.
    But those who look to the Lord have every good thing they need.
