Shalom Fan and Shiro Sagi




I am making some new Shalom Fans!
I took this one with me on my way and found much peace throughout the day.

Shalom I leave you.  My shalom I give to you; 
but not as the world gives!
Do not let your heart be troubled or afraid.     
--John 14:27




Walking on the way
on this sunny day
A Shalom Fan in hand,
well actually in my bicycle basket,
I passed a quiet stream,
when something still and white
attracted me in sight.
You`ll see behind the fan
that it was...

a white heron!

Shalom to all who are far and near!
Stay tuned for more original Shalom Fans  on Challah and Cherry Blossoms.

Shalom = Peace in Hebrew, and is the word of `greeting` in Israel

Today two words in Japanese:
Shiro=White  白 しろ
Sagi=Heron   鷺  サギ







Linking this post to Gracefull Tuesday 
on Abounding Grace

  2. Hi Sandi! Amen!
    Thanks for sharing. I love this verse too.

    Nice to hear that there are herons there too!!
    I didn't really see herons much until I came to Japan.
    It surprises me that we can see them right in the city!

    Have a blessed week filled with God's great Shalom!

  3. Hi Shayndel! Thank you for sharing this encouraging verse from John. There are so many times when our hearts are troubled, but the Savior speaks peace to us and calms our fears. Beautiful Shalom Fan and a heron too! God bless!

  5. Thank you Duta.
    I am glad to hear that, as the white heron herself was so stunning to see there, she literally stopped me in my way by her white presence there!! You too enjoy the summer days! I would like to send you a fan!!
