Life Lessons ~

take turns talking

{you may want to click on the photos to enlarge}

be kind to one another

put your coat on

it's

cold outside

a few facts

may just be a portion
of the truth

don't talk with your mouth full

don't bite off

more

than you can chew

when the going

gets

tough

hang in there

~ ~ ~

what are some of your

life lessons

Psalm 73:26 ~

My flesh and my heart

may fail

but

God

is the strength

of

my heart

and

my portion

forever

Psalm 73:26 NLT

Corny ~

in

amongst

the

salvia

a

corn stalk

appeared

~ ~ ~

life

is

like that

sometimes

The Dance ~

I

delight

in

the dance

of

the

flowers

and

wonder

at the music

they

hear

Milkweed ~

just

because

I

like

the light

and

the reaching

and

the promise

and

the hope

mostly

the hope

~ ~ ~

blessings of hope

for

you

A Blueberry Gift ~

my
new young

friend

brought

gift

stained

with

purple

fragranced

with sweetness

presented

in

chin-tucked

shyness

an
offering
of
the heart

The Feather ~

There

are things

I find difficult

to

lay down

softly

in order

to

hear

the whisper

of

His voice

I'm not altogether sure whether this photo

followed the rule

broke the rule

in

A New Day ~

{click to enlarge}

I see

the 

morning

embracing

the sky

casting shadows

of future

banqueting tables

welcoming

a

new day

~ ~ ~

for all of your kind

comments, thoughts and prayers

I

thank you

and

will be around

to visit

soon

Just For a Bit ~

I may not be around

to

visit 

for awhile

but

I'll be thinking

of you!

Uniquely You ~

the bumper sticker

read

"you are unique

just like everyone else"

and

I'm

okay

with that

because you see

He calls me

by

name

and

that is where

I belong

uniquely His

who knows my name

Isaiah 43:1b

Consider This ~

they neither toil nor spin ...

Man's Best Friend ~

wistfully

waiting

watching

 what I see

while

sitting

{a little ahem :-) here, Steve}
at

the

Dairy Queen

watching

waiting

wistfully

Held ~

The Great Exchange ~

Carefully
measured drops

of

death and life

course

through her veins

as

she chooses

to face

with
courage and faith

the

sting of an unknown

journey

her face
lifted

toward the Son

 

her husband

considers

it

"a privilege to be appointed her armor bearer"
 his words

concerning
his cherished wife

 ~ ~ ~

a friend of long standing

and

close to my heart

began

chemotherapy today

for

an aggressive

form of lymphoma

You Can Do It ~

Sometimes

you

just have to

stick your neck out

and

try something new
