Delight yourself in the Lord

These past weeks have been one of dreadful cold for many in North America. Snow, freezing rain, storms in varying amounts-some more than others. You just have to put on the television and there would be images of piles of snow being shoveled, homes damaged, news of schools closing due to the terrible weather, some people being victims of hypothermia. After having some snow here in the South and howling winds all night and day, we are finally getting the expected rain. The snow has completely melted here and by morning, it will still be raining on the soggy mess of our yards. 
Apart from the weather being a major headline, you hear about violence, brutality, wickedness. It is sad to see so much suffering around us. Please remember to always pray for others. We must remember to put our trust in the Lord. He knows and sees all thing. I leave you with Psalms 37:4.

"Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."

God takes care of His own

Today, as I was going out to the porch, I caught a glimpse of this lovely house wren walking across the platform and I ran inside to get my camera. By the time I got back, I didn't see it immediately but soon saw it fluttering amongst the dogwood branches. In no time, it went to the pile of firewood and I was finally able to get some shots. I stood there for a long while admiring it. As I loaded the photos in my computer and saw the bird, I was reminded of Matthew 6:26. "Matthew 6:26 - Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" God takes care of the birds. They are important to Him. He also takes care of those who belong to Him.The past few months had been a bit hard financially and health-wise but throughout the hard times, my hubby and I were able to see the amazing Love and Grace that our Lord bestows. He sustained us all throughout and we

Pawprints on our hearts

Today made a week since my pet bassett hound, Belle went missing. We've looked, called and used the internet to find her but no luck. Sometimes, I think she would just be there waiting when I get home or open the door and it would be just like before. Sometimes at night, I hear the neighbor's dogs barking and I would think I hear "voice" but then I know it is not.  She was like part of our family and has been with us for over eleven years now. I just wish I knew what happened to her. Did someone steal her? Had she been hit and is lying on the side of a ditch somewhere? Is she injured and cannot get help? We even called Animal Control to see if they'd picked her up but no luck. I'd prefer her to be stolen and well taken care of than to be gone. This is just another of life's experiences we all must go through- pain and loss. It hurts even still. Praying that we can still find her. There is always hope. Leah Belle, you have left pawprints on our hearts!

Taking a break

After the intense editing and formatting my Kindle versions of the individual books in The Sunny Brook Trilogy, I am finally finished with the updates. Yay!!! It's been pretty grueling because formatting for Kindle and for print are very different. But God is good (if you know me- that's what I say a lot). So, to give myself a mental boost, I took my beloved camera and walked to the front yard. I love shooting anything- from the flowers to the birds and yes, even the weeds!! Here are just a few of the pics. I love Spring!!! I wish I had time to edit the rest but due to time constraints, I can't. Enjoy :) !
