Osios David, Thessaloniki House Church from the 5th Century, Book of Acts of the Apostles
Luke 11:5-13
And He said to them,
“Which of you who has a friend will go to Him at midnight
and say to Him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, 6 for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;
And He will answer from within,
‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut,
and my children are with me in bed.
I cannot get up and give you anything’?
I tell you,
though He will not get up and give him anything
because He is His friend,
yet because of his impudence
He will rise and give him whatever he needs.
9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you;
seek, and you will find;
knock, and it will be opened to you.
10 For everyone who asks receives,
and the one who seeks finds,
and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish,
will instead of a fish give him a serpent
Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
If you then, who are evil,
know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will the heavenly Father
give the Holy Spirit
to those who ask Him!”
Luke 11:5-13
The Message
5-6 Then He said, “Imagine what would happen if you went to a friend in the middle of the night and said, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread. An old friend traveling through just showed up,
and I don’t have a thing on hand.’
7 “The friend answers from his bed, ‘Don’t bother me. The door’s locked; my children are all down for the night; I can’t get up to give you anything.’
8 “But let me tell you, even if he won’t get up because he’s a friend, if you stand your ground, knocking and waking all the neighbors, he’ll finally get up and get you whatever you need.

9 “Here’s what I’m saying:
Ask and you’ll get;
Seek and you’ll find;
Knock and the door will open.
10-13 “Don’t bargain with God. Be direct.
Ask for what you need. This is not a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we’re in. If your little boy asks for a serving of fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate? If your little girl asks for an egg, do you trick her with a spider? As bad as you are, you wouldn’t think of such a thing—you’re at least decent to your own children.
And don’t you think the Father who conceived you in love will give the Holy Spirit when you ask Him?”
John 15:15
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
Mark 1:11
And a Voice came from Heaven,
“You are my beloved Son; with You
I am
well pleased.”
1 John 4:7-8
Beloved,
let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.
Anyone who does not love does not know God,
because God is love.
1 John 3:1-2
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.
The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now,
And what we will be has not yet appeared;
but we know that when He appears we shall be like Him,
because we shall see Him as He is.
Matthew 17:5
He was still speaking when,
behold,
a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a Voice from the cloud said,
“This is My Beloved Son,
with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him.”
3 John 1:2
Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you
and that you may be in good health,
as it goes well with your soul.
1 John 4:1
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God,
for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Romans 1:7
To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints:
Grace to you and peace
from God our Father
and
the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 5:1-20
Therefore be imitators of God,
as beloved children.
And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you,
as is proper among saints.
Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking,
which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.
For you may be sure of this, that everyone
who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.
Jude 1:3
Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you
about our common salvation,
I found it necessary to write appealing to you
to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.
1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast,
immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord,
knowing that in the Lord
your labor is not in vain.
Genesis 30:32
Let me go through all your flocks today
and
remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep,
every dark-colored lamb
and every spotted or speckled goat.
They will be My Wages.
John 10:35
If He called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken—
Matthew 5:16
In the same way, let your Light
shine before others,
so that they may see your good works
and give glory to your Father
Who is in Heaven.
Longue Vue was established in 1921 as the family home of Edith Rosenwald Stern and Edgar Bloom Stern. In 1980, the family bequeathed the entire eight-acre property to become a nonprofit museum and public garden. Longue Vue is open to the public year-round for tours, programs, picnics, and retreats and is committed to cultivating a space of welcome and belonging for all.
The eye of Hurricane Katrina went over Longue Vue in 2005. I was watching Monty Don this week, exploring American Gardens. Longue Vue's Head Gardener said they had 7 full-time gardeners before Katrina. And 2 after Katrina, due to Housing flooded. In 2 years, they knew recovery. In 7 years, they saw "full" Recovery. All 42 Oaks survived the river running through Longue Vue with diligent care.
