Hope springs Eternal!

In the Spring, when flowers bloom,

it is easy to forget the winter gloom.

First it's just one or two:

Then BANG, they multiply:

 

It's amazing what a thrill these little lovelies give me!

I know I LOVE flowers all the time,

but seeing them pop out fresh

and beautiful 

makes me

absolutely

GIDDY!

And here are some close-ups!

GORGEOUS!!!

Praise You, LORD, for creating flowers!
I am amazed at the wondrous variety
You have made throughout our world
for our enjoyment.

Thank You Jesus

Thank You Jesus for all the change You have wrought in my life.  Thank You for taking a shy, lonely child and befriending her and helping her to live Your Way and to make Your choices.  For helping me let go of fear and move out in bold service. Thank You for giving me Your peace and helping me lay down my burdens daily.  Thank You for helping me be real with others.  Thank You for sustaining me moment by moment in all areas of life.  You bless me daily with Your Presence and timely Help for every situation You bring into my life.  I am so glad You are my God, my Brother, my Friend.  You have made ALL the difference in me.  Without You, I am a hideous worm full of ugly thoughts and selfish ways.  You are AMAZING!

I LOVE YOU!!!

Grace Flows Down

(Bell, Giglio, Pageant)

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound!

Amazing love, now flowing down

From hands and feet

That were nailed to the tree

As grace flows down and covers me!

It covers me!!!!

Grateful

Today I'm just grateful. Grateful for: a beautiful day, a wonderful husband, awesome children, amazing friends, my home, the privilege of homeschooling my children, the fact that I can wear sweats to 'work', creativity, music, my 5 senses, good food, coffee (yes, definitely, coffee), babies, laughter, modern conveniences, and most especially, for the Lord and His gift of salvation, free for the taking!
