Things to be thankful for...Day 8

Have you ever considered your community? Your neighbors? Where you shop? The parks? Trails? Fishing holes? Where would we be without them? It takes an entire community to work together for it to prosper, grow and ultimately glow.

Think of the treasures that are in your community...of course, every treasure has a different value - but when you put the entire collection together, it pays off in ways we don't always know or understand. But here in our community, I'd like to think we're all very blessed!

Things to be thankful for ... Day 9

We're counting down until Thanksgiving the things we're thankful for. On this day 9, I'm so thankful to the Lord for his blessing of my little cozy nest and all who live there. So may lessons - some hard, others scary, and some absolutely, truly enjoyable...happened at the nest.
I'm also thankful for family and friends who have helped to make the nest what it is today...truly remarkable people that are remembered every time I look around! Thank you and blessings to you!

Things to be thankful for day 10

Have you ever considered how important the volunteers are in your community? Have you ever considered the risks they take or the family they leave behind while practicing to keep you and others safe? I'm thankful for the many hats our small community wears - and there are many different hats!

Things to be thankful for....

Thanksgiving will be here in 11 days...what are some of the things you're thankful for?
My goal is to post everyday for the next 11 days the things I'm most thankful for...won't you join me? Share what you're most thankful for!

I'm thankful that I'm saved...that Jesus has covered my scarlet sin and has made it white as snow! He has forgiven me for not being perfect - because only He is or ever could be.

God's hot, steamy, love notes....

Even when you don't know what He's up to...He'll offer you reassurance by the way of golden hope - see the golden heart at the left? It says HOPE!
Of course, HE always lets you know you're loved. How do you suppose that heart came to be on the hot, steamy, kitchen window?
It was His way of letting me know how cherished I really am - more than I'll ever know at a time I needed Him. You are always cherished more than you'll ever know too. ALWAYS remember that!

Second chances and do overs

I love photographing the wonders of our Lord...such as this full moon Friday. And it occurred to me that God is a God of second chances. He does believe in do overs. Why else would there be seam rippers?
Of course that is from a sewing sense...but in other things in life, He always offers us a chance to make our wrongs right. Ask HIM...have hope and believe!

Season of Prayer is now available!

The plants are putting on their fall coats and the insect world is preparing for the onslaught of winter by eating nectar provided to them by their Creator. It will give them the energy they need for the long voyage they have ahead of them. Did you know butterflies travel from the northern USA all the way to the very southern part of the USA? They're not hibernators. They are wonderful to watch flit from flower to flower. 

Do you ever have the feeling that you're flitting from one thing to the next? Maybe you're not but someone you know is? That's where Psalm 32:8 is helpful..."I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you."

There are times when we too need a bit of energy for our voyage - that's what On a Wing and a Prayer is all about. If our God and Savior will watch over the migration of the earth’s butterflies...will HE not watch over us who are so valuable to Him? Have faith I remind you, your loved ones, and myself as well...for we are LOVED greatly and He is watching!
