Good morning! It's another rainy day today. The trees are already starting to shed their leaves. I love looking at the wonderful colors Fall brings. Down here at the south, we hardly get severe cold weather and when we do, it is hard for us unlike those who live up north. I love the Fall.  I believe that God looks out for us all the time even though we may not realize it. The night before last we had some steady rain with the winds whipping all throughout the night. By the time it was morning, the road where we live was a sea of leaves. After waking up my daughter to get ready for school, the time did not go the way it usually does. Somehow or the other, we were fifteen minutes behind the usual. I was a bit perplexed because it seemed as we lost some time. Did I get up from bed later or idled away the time? No. We had to rush a bit for her to finish getting ready. I brushed aside the lapse in time, thinking maybe somehow we were not paying too much attention. When we got to ...

Summer has gone and Fall is here.. Though soon the leaves are going to start falling, we still see the beauty and magnificence of our Lord! I cannot seem to get enough of the beauty around us. Each little creature that flutters by or each color that pops up, I am reminded of His power, His love-our wonderful Creator. Have a blessed first day of Fall!

For the past few weeks, I have been dealing with some painful physical problems. I've felt overwhelmed and frustrated at times because I was being limited more and more by what I couldn't do. The list of housework, errands, keeping up with getting bills paid on time, getting my daughter's birthday party planned and not being able to write were all getting to me.  There were times when I just had to stay in bed a lot due to being in pain but the Lord gave me the strength that I need. I know that He is always there for me. I have to keep reminding myself to give my burdens to Him and not try to bear it all alone. He has never failed me. I am so thankful that I have a Savior who can lift me when my spirit feels broken.  As I was returning home from dropping my daughter off to school yesterday morning, I saw this beautiful sunrise and I just had to say "Wow!" I've seen sunrises before but somehow or the other, this one was just amazing! There was this pink glow...

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 :) !

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!!

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."

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."
