It is Sunday afternoon, and it is rather cool and rainy outside. There is such a chill in the air that I have a small fire in my study stove. I have on a fairly heavy sweater and surely know we are not going outside for our walk. So sit in that chair over there … Continue reading Mother’s Day Flowers – Walk With Ken Boyle LXIX

Love – Walk With Ken Boyle LXII
Comment from Ken: Love lifts up as our Savior would lift up a lost sheep. He lifts us with His love. Scripture: 11Then He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out? 12Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” 13Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other. 14Then the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him. It is beautiful here in Hopkinton at this moment. The sun is brightly shining, the snow is white, pure, and not too deep, there is … Continue reading Love – Walk With Ken Boyle LXII
Unkind Words – Walk With Ken Boyle LIV
Comment from Ken: All of us are God’s children. The passage of scripture for our walk applies to adults as well as children. Scripture: Matthew 8: 33 - 37 33Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, “What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?” 34But they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves who would be the greatest. 35And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.” 36Then He took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them, 37“Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me.” It has almost felt like spring this day, Monday, of our New Year. The temperature actually … Continue reading Unkind Words – Walk With Ken Boyle LIV
Appreciating our Differences – Walk With Ken Boyle XLVIII
Scripture: Psalm 23 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. It is too late for a walk now that the time has changed. It is five ‘clock and it is quite dark outside. Guess you will have to join me here by the stove in the living room. … Continue reading Appreciating our Differences – Walk With Ken Boyle XLVIII
Love Your Neighbor As Yourself – Walk With Ken Boyle XLIV
Comment from Ken: It is my desire to follow a more organized schedule for our walks.

To the best of my ability the walk will now be on … Continue reading Love Your Neighbor As Yourself – Walk With Ken Boyle XLIV
Bringing out the best of our nation’s people – Walk With Ken Boyle XL
Scripture: From Psalm 27 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. 14 Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord! It is around two o’clock in the afternoon, and of course, the day is Sunday, September 3. It was raining very hard early this morning, but now the rain has tapered off to a sprinkle here and there. Rather than going out for a … Continue reading Bringing out the best of our nation’s people – Walk With Ken Boyle XL

Kindness Put Into Action – Walk With Ken Boyle XXXV
We have a gentle rain for our walk today. Other places in New England had a flood warning, but here in Hopkinton, New Hampshire, we were spared that abundance of rain. A little rain will not dissolve us so I figured we could still go on our walk. How are you today? Have you had … Continue reading Kindness Put Into Action – Walk With Ken Boyle XXXV
