I Love A Sunset

Sunset

When the day is ending

All the work and the chores are done.

 Family and Friends have

enjoyed the day.

Playtime  was fun when the

sky was blue.

Sun is setting in the western sky.

It is time to gather at Home

where all is well.

And love abounds.

Sunset on a Summer Eve

I love a Sunset especially how the light is shadowed in

my tiny  Home.  I think it makes a home cozy

and very unique.  The light is different in each room

And no home is the same as another.

Seasons change and so does the position of Earth and Sun.

These pictures are from evening sun setting 

on a July Summer Eve.

The sun is coming in from my glass sliding doors.

I didn't do any poof or propping.

I didn't want to miss the moment.

I just took the pictures with my phone.

I had just been to dinner with my son Mark

and my granddaughter Zada.  I came home

and walked down the hall and checked 

on Teddy and Cash. Normally they

greet me at the door. But they were busy snoozing!

In those few moments I returned to the living room,

and there was the beautiful orange-ish

light shining on my walls and furniture.

It was one of those moments when you 

STOP.....PAUSE

And 

I soak the beautiful sight deep in my soul.

A gift......From the Great Creator....

A gentle reminder there is always

Something Beautiful.

There is an old saying my Grandparents would say,

"A red sunrise in the morning is a Sailors warning

A red sunset at night is a Sailors delight"

There are "signs" in the heavens that will

tell us what may be coming.

A red sunrise ---a storm is coming.

A red sunset ---- good weather is here.

Have a wonderful week.

And enjoy the Sunrise and the Sunset.

Watch the sky!

This Is The Day

Well hello my dear friends.

I hope you are doing well.

Staying safe, healthy and happy.

I can hardly believe we have been 4 months

living with a new "normal."

5 months ago if someone would have

told me this is how life would be

I wouldn't have believed it.

I do believe the Lord has given us this day 

and all days.  It is up to each one of us

as to what we do with the day.

I keep myself busy each day.

I find great enjoyment and fulfillment

in doing various hand-work.

Cross stitch is one of my favorites.

I have mentioned before how my

Grandma Dot taught me at a young age

how to fill my lonely days with

good things to keep me busy.

During long summer days, I spent time

crocheting, sewing, embroidering  

along with a lot of reading.

Oh I did have plenty of days filled with playing with friends, 

swimming just about every day

and riding my bike.

As I grew older my hand-work 

became a delightful way to fill my days.

And now in my widowhood I thank God

for every day. . . I know each day is a gift.

I have favorite days.  Do you?

When I was working I didn't like Monday's

I thought the week looked so long.

I lived for the week-end.

Now that I am not working, I still find I 

look forward to the week-end,

I like it because my children are off work

and I get to see them, and do things with them.

When I was a young mommy and wife my

favorite day was Sunday.  I loved it because

we were all home.  We went to Church together.

We worshiped God together.  

Sunday afternoons I fixed a big 

Sunday dinner. 

It was a relaxing day.

We observed the Sabbath as a family.

Together,

After my husband died, I struggled with Sunday's.

It seemed Sunday was the most lonely

forlorn day there was.

Now, I am thankful for everyday.

It is true some days are lonely,

some days are busy, some days go by fast.

Some days are happy, some days are sad.

I have come to realize each day is a gift.

The Lord is mindful of our days. 

And I try to rejoice with each new day.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

4th of July 2020

Hello My Friends!

It is wonderful to wish you all a very

Happy July 4th!

As we celebrate I hope we will all continue

to recognize the greatness of this

beautiful land of 

The United States of America.

In spite of our failings we our still

The Greatest Country On This Earth.

From our humble beginnings we have been a

nation seeking peace and freedom.

From sea to sea and boarder to boarder we have

been in pursuit of a greater substance of life

Freedom, within the bounds of fair and

equal rights for all mankind.

In God We Trust!

With Humility in our hearts and souls,

we must turn again to the

True source of Freedom and Peace.

It is not found in chaos, and violence. . 

No , it is found in God!

Jesus Christ is the Master and Author of

Peace and Freedom.

It is in Him we give our Trust and our

Thanks for this great land.

America is Great!

It will always be the greatest as long

as we continue to place our

Trust in God.

 America

My Home Sweet Home!

With my head bowed, I give thanks to God.

And may she always be free

God bless you all.....!
