Many Crosses to Bear

I have no laurels

to sit on

so I’ll count my losses

and carry gold crosses

I will win this war.

“And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.” Matthew 10:38

^”καὶ ὃς οὐ λαμβάνει τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀκολουθεῖ ὀπίσω μου, οὐκ ἔστιν μου ἄξιος.” ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΝ 10:38

The Antique Street/Η Oδος με τις Aντικες

I took a Stroll through touristy Monastiraki and a street there with antiques. There were so many wonderful things to photograph. I don’t know why I didn’t come here before.

More pictures of the street and antiques on the way..

Lavender/Λεβάντα

Lavender from my garden

I’m glad I took this macro shot of a lavender flower, from a pot in my garden, because I didn’t notice how beautiful this flower is. I have found that the lavender flower is very useful too. The flower can be brewed to make a tea for coughs, and its essential oils can be used for aroma therapy, also its strong scent keeps clothes smelling fresh and free of bites from pesky moths.
