A Day Of Loveliness ~

there are days

that feel as though your

 head is in the clouds

even though your feet remain

firmly planted on

 the ground

*  *  *

"Spread love everywhere you go:

 first of all, in your own house.

 Give love to your children,

 to your wife or husband,

 to a next door neighbor.

 Let no one ever come to you

 without leaving better or happier.

 Be the living expression of God's kindness."

Mother Teresa

These Boots Weren't Made For Walking ~

 put your best foot forward

 dig your heels in

 pause and listen

and when all

 is said and done

let the Lord direct your steps

*  *  *

 Order my steps in your word:

 and let not any iniquity have

 dominion over me.

Psalm 119:133

*  *  *

 these boots were a gift

from my son's paternal grandmother

when he was about six months old

 

 

 

Whispering Hope ~

"God is an unutterable sigh,

 planted in the depths of the soul."

 Jean Paul

*  *  *

day or night

He hears the cry

of our supplications

*  *  *

Likewise the Spirit helps

 us in our weakness;

 for we do not know how

 to pray as we ought, but

 the Spirit himself

 intercedes for us

 with sighs

 too deep for words.

Romans 8:26

Blackberry ~

"What will come

from the briar but the berry?"

Irish Proverb

*  *  *

Therefore by Him

 let us continually offer the 

sacrifice of praise

 to God,

 that is, the fruit of our lips,

 giving thanks to

 His name.

Hebrews 13:15

*  *  *

soon it will be 

the  season for berries

the sacrifice of praise is always

in season

 

 

 

 

Two In One ~

I have both

all rolled up in one

*  *  *

... may the Lord cause

 you to increase

 and abound in love

 for one another,

 and for all people,

 just as we also do for you ...

1 Thess. 3:12

Flights Of Fancy ~

"It is usually the imagination

that is wounded first,

rather than the

heart;

it being much

more sensitive."

Henry David Thoreau

*  *  * 

may your imagination

lead you to new

explorations

A Favorite ~

Daffodowndilly

She wore her yellow sun-bonnet
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour:
"Winter is dead."

A.A. Milne

*  *  *

the daffodil was

 my mother's

 favorite flower 

and 

yellow was her

 favorite color

a winning combination

 

 

 

In Due Season ~

(a little click will enlarge)

 the arrival of spring

 seems slow

this year

perhaps

 it is

 my patience

that is wanting

*  *  *

For the vision is yet for an appointed time,

 but at the end it shall speak,

 and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it;

 because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Habakkuk 2:3

*  *  *

 

 

Living Truth ~

"Do the truth quietly

without display."

Brennan Manning

*  *  *
 Teach me Your way, O Lord,
 that I may walk and live in Your truth;
 direct and unite my heart
 [solely, reverently]
 to fear and honor Your name.
Psalm 86:11
*  *  * 

Wishing you a gentle weekend.

Measured ~

Be a yardstick of quality.

  Some people aren't used to an environment

 where excellence is expected.

  Steve Jobs

*  *  *

And whatever you do, do it heartily,

 as to the Lord, and not to men;

Colossians 3:23

Awareness ~

Open your mouth and taste,

open your eyes and see

how good God is.

Blessed are you who

run to Him.

Psalm 34:8 MSG

*  *  *

may your weekend

be blessed

with the goodness

of God
