Wishing sunshine and love

I wish you sunshine on your path and storms to season your journey. I wish you peace--in the world in which you live and in the smallest corner of the heart where truth is kept. I wish you faith-- to help define your living and your life. More I cannot wish you--except perhaps love--to make all the rest worthwhile.

~~Robert A Ward

easter Sunday

These Girls were so pretty in their new spring outfits- pretty colors and fun fresh faces!

A nice lady at the church took our Group- including K8 who is like me always behind the camera. It is so good when we document the days of our lives for our families to be able to " see" us.

I love how the three girls are holding hands- so sweet

secret to life?

The secret of life is that all we have and are is a gift of grace to be shared. ~~lloyd john ogilvie

Love someone

if you love someone you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost.
you will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him.

1 Corinthians 13:7 tlb

I was struck by this and need to give an apology to someone I love. - it is difficult to prove that Love will always expect the best, and it is difficult to say I didn't stand my ground in defending him. I let bad behavior knock me down and allowed myself not to defend him. alot of water has gone under the bridge, and I hope I can convey that i truely love him and DO defend him and stand by him and I always expect the best. It's tough to be a mom.

Equiping yourself

Each of us may be sure that if God sends us on stony paths He will provide us with strong shoes, and He will not send us out on any journey for which He does not equip us well.

~Alexander Maclaren

Normal Days

Normal Day, let me be aware of the treasure you are.

Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart.

Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow.

Ivory and Tapestry

Beautiful and rich is

an old friendship

Grateful to the touch

as ancient Ivory,

Smooth as Aged wine,

or sheen of tapestry

Where light has lingered ,

intimate and long.

Eunice Tiejens

Wisdom

Seeds of Kindness

When seeds of kindness are sown prayerfully in the garden plot of our lives, we may be sure that there will be a bountiful harvest of blessings for both us and others. W. Phillip Keller

Friendship

I count your friendship one of the chiefest pleasures of my life, a comfort in time of doubt and trouble, a joy in time of prosperity and success, and an inspiration at all times.

Life Blessings

May your life become one of glad and unending praise to the Lord as you journey through this world and in the world that is to come!

St. Teresa of Avila

Building up

Don't lose a minute in building on what you've been given,
complementing your basic faith with good character,
spiritual understanding, alert discipline,
passionate patience, reverent wonder,
warm friendliness, and generous love,
each dimension fitting into and developing the others.

2 PETER 1:5 MSG
