Eye Candy

Posted on by

We are home again; here in Lower Alabama, I mean.
We packed the laptop safely to travel every mile and it did, right there safe and sound the whole time, just like we packed it.
This must be the first time EVER I have left it in its bag – didn’t open it once!

But, I’m back — at least for tonight.
It’s been a while and honestly, I have nothing outstanding to post – there’s more unpacking to do but I just had to check-in.

We came home to some Eye Candy ( I mean that in a most innocent sense).
Want to see?

One more — can any of you tell me what this is? 
We saw several of them as we traveled. I’d be so pleased to know what it is.

Thank you kindly if you can help identify this plant. 

May The LORD look upon you with favor and give you peace. 

Love, Kathie

The days are zipping by!

Hot, cold, warm, and cool all these temps with only hours or days separating.
It’s crazy but you know what — It’s not new.
There’s nothing new under the sun.

Seasons, trends, conditions, etc. come and go. And sooner or later everything old becomes new again — except for these frail bodies we inhabit.
Even facelifts and parts lifts do not stop the process of death we were born into. Yikes! I didn’t see that coming when I started this paragraph.
Oh well, it is what it is.

9 What has been is what will be,
what has been done is what will be done,
and there is nothing new
under the sun.
10 Is there something of which it is said,
“See, this is new”?
It existed already in the ages before us.   source

Give it Time

Posted on by

If you are about to give up on some good, godly thing — don’t!

The winter was hard on a lovely spring, summer, and fall plant we much enjoyed!
It’s April!
And it was still looking dead, dead.  See what I mean?  img_8208

Today, I was about done – about to trash it BUT then I saw this!

So, here is my encouragement for us today.  If it was a thing of beauty; if it was a gift from The Father; if it’s good and godly — give it some more time.

Love, Kathie 

Digital Screens

I thought this might encourage you in the morning as you wake up and turn on your digital screens. 

20 We are waiting for Adonai;
he is our help and shield.
21 For in him our hearts rejoice,
because we trust in his holy name.
22 May your mercy, Adonai, be over us,
because we put our hope in you.   source Psalm 33 CJB

Two Verses Plus

Posted on by

As I open this page, it’s too late to be staring at a computer screen so I plan to be quick.
Just here to say hi and provide us with a passage of Father’s Word to use today however He directs us.

6 Seek the Lord while you can find him.
    Call on him now while he is near.
7 Let the wicked change their ways
    and banish the very thought of doing wrong.
Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them.
    Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.  Isaiah 55: 6-7

The whole of the chapter is a worthy read. I hope you will seize the time and read it.  HERE

LORD willing, see you again soon. 73388-Tuesday-Morning
