Taking a break

Image
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 :) !

I need Spring!!!

Image
Today, the kids had to leave school early due to sleet and possible icy roads. It is going to get cold tonight- again! I am so ready for Spring and getting back to my exercise at the park. What about you? I hope that you are all staying safe and warm. Have a blessed day!!

Delight yourself in the Lord

Image
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."

As white as snow

Image
Growing up, we learned all different sayings as part of our studies in school. One of them was "as white as snow". I have no idea why that came into my mind today but it was such fun to see the snow falling in its splendor down in the south. I know that there are so many people facing hardships due to the terrible snow conditions- especially up north. I pray that everyone stays safe and warm. Snow is beautiful but it is also dangerous. Praying for those who have a hard time staying warm. "As white as snow"-yes. Snow is white. It looks clean but nothing is cleaner that the blood of Jesus.  This brings to mind the words from the song, "Nothing but the blood". What can take away our sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus...Then the part..."Oh, precious is the flow that makes me white as snow...nothing but the blood of Jesus."

Special Edition

Phew!!!! I finally was able to complete formatting my exclusive special edition of The Sunny Brook Trilogy. Who knew that it would take this long!!! I cannot wait for it to be approved for publishing :). This had been a long time request and I am so glad that it is about ready. In the meantime, I am ready to work on the other writings that I still have to complete! Wishing you all a blessed day!!!! Here is a preview of the new special edition :

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 ...

All about Him

Last evening, after our church service, we had a little get-together for food and fellowship. I had my camera with me and kept shooting pictures of everyone. Most of the shots that I took were candid and some were posed. I think that I love candid ones more, don't you? Everyone was talking and enjoying themselves. I browsed around the fellowship hall and listened to the chatter and constant laughter. It was a pleasing sight to say the least. I could feel the love for each other and thought about what our Lord would think when He looked down at us. He would be smiling, I'm sure. Though our church have a small number of members, there is unity and love. When someone has a need, you can count on someone praying immediately. This past year has been a bit stormy in the lives of a lot our members including my family but our hope and strength came from the Master Himself. We know that no matter what happens in our lives, He is in control. We may fall short sometimes in our faith but s...
