His beauty...

-
I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; The humble shall hear of it and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together. Psalms 34:1-3

 This picture was taken a couple of years ago at the Reading Terminal Market in Philly. The beautiful flowers caught my attention as we were passing by; so I just had to stop and memorialize the
awesome, diversified beauty God created and that was displayed in these flowers! It puzzles me how some can look at this and think that it all just "happened". You see, man cannot create anything; man can invent, manufacture and reproduce BUT, the results of those things are only from the ideas and the use of things that are already here. I heard someone say once that a skyscraper can be produced by man, but it is God who created the stone and metals it took to make it. The airplane was invented, but it's idea of the function of flight comes from the bird that was created by God.

 The intricate and detail design of each variety of flower speaks that there IS a Creator who delights in demonstrating that if the time was taken to create something this beautiful but fades in a few days...how much more does He delight in the intricate design and detail of creating us...

 You. Are. Beautiful. to Him. No matter what you may see in the mirror, no matter what others say, no matter what you have heard all your life...You are beautiful and God loves you. You are not a mistake, a mishap, an "oops" or a freak. We were formed in our mother's womb and even with all our imperfections, He knows just what it takes to mold us into what He intended for us to be in Him. Trust Him today to see the beauty that He has invested in you...

 "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!" Psalms 34:8

Are you Looking or Seeking?

“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”   Jeremiah 29:13 Seeking…looking…what’s the difference?   According to Dictionary.com, the word “Look” means to turn your eyes towards something or to turn in some direction in order to see [a person, place or thing.]   Dicitonary.com also states that the word “seek” means to go in search or to be in quest for a certain person, place or thing. There are many scriptures in the Bible referring to and using the word “seek” when talking about God, not many about “looking” for God.   This made me begin to ponder the difference.   One example that stands out in my memory is the account about David, a shepherd at the time, and Saul who was made King.   Saul who had all the external attributes to be King was “looking” for that position, but David on the other hand just a young shepherd that spent most of his time out in the fields and hills watching sheep and praising God was “seekin...

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows. It's what the sunflowers do.” -Helen Keller While riding around in my neighborhood I noticed that many yards and gardens were adorn with beautiful sunflowers. They stood tall and cheery above all the other plants and flowers with their bright yellow "faces" seemingly bathing in the summer sun...they make me smile.  So even though I did not plant any sunflowers in my yard or garden I did do a bit of decorating with some faux. (will attach pics at the end of this post.  But for now here are some facts about this cheery fun flower ...   •The stem of a sunflower can grow up to 10 ft tall and the flower head can be 11.8 in wide. •Sunflowers are very fast growing plants, in the right conditions they can grow 8-12 feet tall in six months. •As of 2012, the Guinness World Record for the tallest sunflower is 27 ft for a sunflower grown in Germany. •Famous Dutch painter Vi...

Letter to my Mom...

Dear Ma, Well, another Mother’s day has rolled around; this is the 12 th one without you.   But your passing from this life to eternity seems like yesterday sometimes. I miss you so much.   And it seems that the older I get, the more I understand you…does that make sense? I passed by a mirror the other day and wow I could see you in me so much…your mannerisms and movements! If I am becoming even a fraction of the woman of grace that you are I am so thankful.   I know, I know…during my turbulent teenage years I wanted to be anything but my mother. But now Ma, I am so thankful that you hung on to me during those times. Me with my smart mouth and “always having to say the last word” self; you hung on to me, even when I’m sure I broke your heart a few times.   Thanks Ma…only a Mother’s love can do that. I can think of a lot of things I’m sorry for; like the time I missed your 50th wedding Anniversary; and the time after Dad had passed, I should have had more co...
