Winter's Peace

There is a certain peace that comes with winter.

A quiet calm settles all around.

Last season's reminders even appear at rest.

Bare branches are adorned in simple white.

The daily visitors are peaceful as they wait their turn.

Even this busy one seems to know it is time to slow down and be still.

Sweet friends wishing you a blessed peace-filled week.

Hugs Debbie

"A heart at peace gives life to the body..."  Prov. 14:30 a (NIV)

Light

Like this moth I am drawn to light.

Isn't it interesting in the account of creation light was the first thing God created.

"and God said "Let there be light.  God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness."  Gen.1:3 (NIV)

Watercolor sketch

Many artists have commented that it is the light they desire to capture.











Light helps one to see clearly...

provides a healthy sense of well being...

and makes all living things flourish.

In the spiritual realm light is associated with goodness.

"You are the light of the world.   A city on a hill cannot be hidden.   Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.  Instead they put it on a stand and it gives light to everyone in the house.  In the same way let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven."   Matt. 5:14-16 (NIV)

May all of you enjoy the lovely gift of light this week.

God Bless

June

The month of June is already gifting us with lovely picturesque moments.

Pink poppies and larkspur are in full swing.

Abundant sunshine and blue skies lift hearts...

while fresh picked strawberries wet appetites.

A special scene such as this is sure to bring a smile.

Speaking of smiling - here is someone else who seems to be enjoying this beautiful month of June!   Hope you all are too.

P.S.
Thank you everyone for your sweet words , thoughts and prayers at the loss of my dear father.   They mean so much.

Hugs Debbie
