All Around Us

God is not far from us. 

Evidence of His presence is all around us just waiting to be seen.

Details, details!

Share your story

Share your story.
Give God the glory.
And live a better broken....
(from the book, When God Doesn't Fix It by Laura Story

So for all my dear friends....here's my brief story.
And thank you for your prayers...

I wish we could meet face to face.

I struggle with this auto immune disease. Long story short, it mainly affected the communication center in my brain.. Walking is very difficult....anything that requires me to balance is a challenge. Forming words as the day goes on becomes more difficult. I shouldn’t drive....the “locking” vision persists and driving just isn’t safe for me or anyone else.

Finding joy can be a challenge...it is there....especially if I don’t let the losses become overwhelming. It can easily. 

And then I look at God's word. His grace is sufficient for me.

The details in His creation are constant reminders!

Rain

It's been raining for days and it seems we are missing the peak colors of fall...

 the leaves are dropping fast.

But the dogs still needed to go out,

so I grabbed my camera and we went for a walk.

And look what I found on this rainy gray day...

A kaleidoscope of of color!

I ♥ rain.

The Beekeeper

Our friends and neighbors are new beekeepers.
Bruce suited up and got a close up look.
I used my telephoto lens for my view.

Jim, the beekeeper.

Word of God speak...

I'm finding myself at a loss for words

And the funny thing is it's okay

The last thing I need is to be heard

But to hear what You would say



Word of God speak Would

You pour down like rain

Washing my eyes to see Your majesty

To be still and know

That You're in this place

Please let me stay and rest In Your holiness

Word of God speak



I'm finding myself in the midst of You

Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice

Word of God speak.

Every moment of existence

 “To be grateful is to recognize the Love of God in everything He has given us - and He has given us everything. Every breath we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from Him.
Gratitude therefore takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly awakening to new wonder and to praise of the goodness of God. For the grateful person knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And that is what makes all the difference.”
 ~ Thomas Merton, Thoughts on Solitude

Wild

Yesterday it reached 56 degrees at 11:25 AM.
Today's high? 31 degrees.
Friday, 10.
Wild!

Loved

Can you believe that you are loved by the Creator of the universe?

 I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. 

Proverbs 8:18

The fragrance still lingers...

...long after the flowers are gone.
