Prisoner of Hope


As these pink azaleas begin to bloom I find myself a prisoner of hope.  They remind me that spring comes each year and therefore they will continue to don their blossoms...

the violets as well...

the dogwood too.

Yes there may be many changes in the world that we are finding hard to accept.  Still there is comfort to be found in what remains the same - such as these three signs that spring has arrived.

Keep the fires of Hope burning this week. 

Hugs!

I am convinced...

that there is beauty to be found everywhere...















Daffodils, Tulips, Virginia Bluebells
spring flowers still lighten our hearts...

and last but not least the concerns of tomorrow will rob us from the joy and love we have today. 

May all of you have a blessed week.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, no any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."   Romans 8:38-39 (NIV)

Resurrection Sunday


Tomorrow will be Resurrection Sunday - Easter - A time of Hope - Faith - Love.  As Jesus rose from the tomb over two thousand years ago - we too will rise out of the grave of despair and sorrow if we keep in step with the Spirit.

A brighter day is coming - let us hold onto that hope and keep faith and know God's love never fails.

Stay well my dear friends - prayers for each of you are being sent upward.


I will leave you with one of my favorite worship songs - hope you  enjoy it as well.  Done by Stephen McLeod.

Jesus said to her, (Martha) "I am the resurrection and the life.   He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."  Do you believe this?"  John 11:25-26 (NIV)
