In Memory of Natalie

My friend, I know you are dwelling in the light of 1 million suns now, walking with the Savior, talking, having those conversations you always dreamed about,

but I took some pictures the other day, and thought of you as I looked through the lens. I hope you enjoy them.

And I thought of how you have encouraged us so many times when we were down, with your words of light and life, and your beautiful photographs.

Thank you my friend. We miss you….I miss you. Pray for us, those still remaining…..

And Lord God, thank You for our friend….Natalie.

Amen. 

In Memory of Natalie Scarberry, a blogging friend, and source of incredible encouragement.

Where Our Dreams Are

On the trails….down by the lake where we used to know

our unsaid prayers, where

our dreams are still cared for

oak leaves will guide us

by their strength,

so that we can find

who we once were,

in that place we use to call

free.

Blessings for Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day!

Wishing all Moms the best of days, good health and wonderful blessings.

But some have lost their Moms recently, so may you be comforted and lifted up each day.

And some Moms raise their children by themselves. May you be given strength and everything your family needs!

And for those that hope to be Moms in the future, God bless you!

Peace and blessings to each one. Amen.

The Dogwoods Remember

As the oak leaves grow strong,

the dogwoods remember their beauty

blooming so wonderfully,

while the azaleas ascend

with confidence.

Shades of Green

In the shades of green, in the explosion of color

we can be stunned by the beauty, filled

with the expectation

of a new beginning,

reflecting

on all

that has been made.

Iris

Iris came to visit recently, but she’s very sensitive

and gentle, so try not to stare,

And when she’s dressed

in purple,

she’s a little shy.

Note: These are Iris flowers.

The Early Morning Light

In the early morning light, leaves speak of peace

and a gentle rain

while a bumble bee hovers

watching me, as if I was intruding.

A chipmunk darts, when a pair of wings opens

and hops from one tree limb to another, hopeful.

“Will you release your prayer?” the crow seems to say,

I realize in the early morning light, of the deep forest…..

it is time.
