Fading Flowers of days gone by

The grass withers, the flowers fade, but the Word of our God remains forever. Isa. 40:8

In the Dark of night, a light is shining

Todd was returning from the barn the other night, and looked up and saw this. He came in the house and insisted I come with my camera and capture it. So glad I did.
In life at times, things can seem dark, but a light is shining, and if you look up how beautiful it can be.

 

Kristi's Quilt

Over a two year project, it's finally done. Kristi finally has a beautiful quilt on her bed. Her first night she said her dream had a horse in it. :-) 
 This quilt makes me think of, sometimes we have a dream, and things happen that interrupt that dream.  You see I was working on it pretty steady in Colorado, and wanted to finish it there. Then Todd's boss fired him, and our lives were in an upheaval  again.  It wasn't till this summer, while Kristi was in Peru (and I had 3 weeks all by myself alone in this house) I was able to finish it. (Well, I wasn't totally alone, Todd was here too, but he's always working, so it's just me in the house the majority of the time). 

  This morning I was reading the story of Joseph in the Bible. He was given a dream. No matter what happened in his life, he knew his dream would still come to pass. It sure didn't look like it in the natural. I think if he would have blamed God or gotten depressed, it might not have happened. But Joseph kept his faith in God.  In the end all the bad stuff that happened, he viewed as part of God's plan to get him where he could fulfill that dream.  He in an amazing example to all of us. When life doesn't make sense, just know, God still has the plan, and if you keep trusting him, that dream (given by God) will happen in your life.  
   Well, how I got all that out of a quilt, I don't know, but hope you keep dreaming, and snuggle down with the true Comforter (the Holy Spirit).

RIsing of the Sun

From the rising of the Sun to the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is to be praise. Ps. 113:3

I love ND sunrises and sunsets. God is always showing off.

Ice on the lake

Coming home from Napoleon today, I had to hit the brakes and take pictures of this ice. I only had my point and shoot along, so the quality isn't as good, but so glad to at least have these pictures.  Still think it's way too early for this kind of ice and snow.

aftermath of the storm

The wind has finally died down some, and the sun is out, but it's cold and icy snow is on the ground.  Ran outside this morning to take a few pictures, glad I left my fuzzy robe on for extra warmth under my coat, and also glad I live in the country and no one sees me in my wild get up. :-)  
My glider bench has had a terrible time all summer. Every bit of wind seems to blow it over, this was the case in this storm too. If you look at the gazebo, notice the window is gone. the wind blew that out too. 

 My one last rose is holding on, but the ice seems a little much for it.

 Please let it still be fall, instead of wrapped in this ice shroud.

Step up to the mike

What is it you have to say?  Do you need a mike to shout it? In my life I've spent a lot of time behind a mike. Mostly singing. Though I don't view ministry as "preforming" you still have to know how not to be afraid of a mike.  I've got something to say, and it's Jesus loves you.

True Cups

True was thrilled with the dishes set her cousin Kristi gave her.  Every little girl wants to play having "tea" even if she hasn't figured out which side of the cup to drink from. 

True's 1

There's nothing sweeter than the innocent eyes of a child. My sweet little niece turned one and this Auntie can't get enough of her precious little face.

Entering into Blog World

So the world out there is changing fast, and here's my attempt to keep up. Have no idea what I'm doing. Once I figure it out, I hope it goes good.
