A day in Seattle {05.22.12}

Dad, Mom and I took the Amtrak to Seattle on Tuesday.  I was such a beautiful ride; mainly along the ocean.

We finally found a restaurant that didn't look sketchy to have lunch in. It was a Greek deli, close to Pike street market, with delicious food. 

 Everything looked so delicious and fresh at Pike Street market.

Except the fish-they looked too fresh.

There were so many florists with the most beautiful bouquets!

We also went to the Seattle library, which was the most impressive library I have ever seen!  We saw some posters for the King Tut exhibit that is coming to Seattle museum May 24-January 4 so maybe we be headed back the big city to see that :)

 "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.  If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.  If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.  Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.  For we know in part and we prophesy in part,  but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.  Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror;then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.  And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

"Give to the Lord the glory he deserves!

      Bring your offering and come into his presence.

   Worship the Lord in all his holy splendor.

     

Let all the earth tremble before him.

      The world stands firm and cannot be shaken.

 Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice!

      Tell all the nations, “The Lord reigns!”

 Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise!

      Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy!

 Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise,

      for the Lord is coming to judge the earth.

 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!

      His faithful love endures forever."

 ~ 1 Chronicles 16 : 29-34 ~
