Just Chatty Today, Pictures

Inspiration or Not

Gallery Leave a comment

I wish I had something witty and fun and helpful to place on this page. It takes inspiration for me to write and today I’m not so inspired. I know why. It is only in this moment that I have quieted myself enough to sit, let alone write. We’ve been putting the foyer back together since JT laid the new floor. img_6184He still has shoe molding to paint and put down but we have freshly painted walls and our Children and Grands’ pictures are back in new places so all is well with me!  img_6185

All around our world, meaning our kids and their necks of the woods too, we range from 42 degrees to the coldest spot of 23 degrees; some of us have snow, Snow Babiessome rain, some clouds; but we’ve all got love. How heavenly is that?!

I have a Sunday School lesson to prep for and a women’s conference tomorrow to attend, one of those last-minute invites that seems too good to say no to, with a dear friend. JT said not to worry, he’d find something to do. :)

So guess I better get to the books so I can share the WORD with dear friends on Sunday and supper time cooking is not far away today.

Well, not much inspiration here but I did get to say hello and that means a lot to me. :)

What do you think GOD wants to do for you?

Today.

Today I am thinking He wants communication with me. He sends us messages all through the day. He wants us to see them, hear them and respond to His love for us in them.  On this cold January morning from my warm dining area window I saw a pansyimg_6095 – just hanging on through the cold. (That is ice in the pink basket.) Beautiful, isn’t it? Small, yet strong, resilient, blooming alone in the cold. He sustains the flowers. He will surely sustain and hold us too.  5 Keep your lives free from the love of money; and be satisfied with what you have; for God himself has said, “I will never fail you or abandon you.” [source]

Never fail you or abandon you – He wants us to know that. And you know what I think? If we will with our whole hearts believe Him, well, that will do more than a lot for us! :)

Now it’s your turn if you are so inclined. Is ABBA saying something to you with the Pansy, His Word or . . . ? Will you share? 
Comment or email — I’ll be delighted to receive either way.

Autumn in The LOFT

Gallery 9 Comments

Autumn in lower Alabama doesn’t look starkly different from summer. The temps do drop for a portion of the season. Mornings do get crisp and evenings do get a chill. In fact I have a pot of vegetable beef soup simmering right now for this semi cool morning. Lets see what is the temp at this writing? Oh well . . . 69. It was cooler this morning and I’m gonna enjoy my soup imageanyway :)

I do get a thrill seeing Autumn’s Artist at work and looking closely I found some Fall colors right here in our own yard. See.

This is our elm tree; well, a close up of our elm tree so you could see that color I found. image

 

 

And these are the marigolds in our front bed. It’s not their aroma that endears them to me.  :)image

And if you look closely here you will see our Umbrella tree’s leaves are turning yellow; she will eventually loose them all. image 

Pumpkins! One of Autumn’s fruits (vegetables). Traveling from lower Alabama to Georgia last year we found these. IMG_1329Beautiful aren’t they?  Well, that about covers Autumn’s colors for me.

And now that it is Autumn, I’m already having thoughts of Winter and Christmas; but that’s another post. Perhaps . . .

You will find some dear friends with many good things to say and some REAL Fall Colors.

Enjoy.
