Celebrate the Splendor of Spring

What is it about spring that fascinates us?  Perhaps, the anticipation of flowers blooming, trees blossoming... beautiful shades of all colors, sparkling sunshine warming the air, and birds singing their sweet melodies... truly a wonder to behold!

I invite you for a walk in our garden... Enjoy God's precious gifts!

"Tis my faith that every flower

enjoys the air it breathes!"

~William Wordsworth

Spring

The sun lies light on a jade-green hill,

There's a burst of song from a loosened rill,

The wind warms the breast of

the new-turned sod,

And the note of a bird

links earth with God!

~Anne Elizabeth Maddock

I love Spring anywhere, but if I

could choose, I would always greet

it in a garden.

~Ruth Stout

The Spring of God

Across the edges of the world

there blows a wind

Mysterious with perfume of a Spring;

A Spring that is not of the

kindling earth,

That's more than scent of bloom

or gleam of bud;

The Spring of God in flower!

~William A. Percy

"A Flower's appeal is in its

contradictions-so delicate in

form yet strong in fragrance,

so small in size yet big in

beauty, so short in life yet

long on effect."

~Adabella Radici

How lovely it is to delight in

the rejuvenation of nature.

Mission Trip ~Holbrook Indian School~ Arizona

The Youth Class from our church goes to mission trips every year with their youth pastor.  This year my children and I joined them in the adventure, to help with construction work, painting,  and a week of prayer.  It was our privilege to help those at Holbrook Indian School ...  A special place where Native American children learn in a loving, accepting and safe environment where teachers care about them individually.

A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.

The Cross

The greatest example of our worth in the eyes of God is

 the cross.  The Cross tell us that no matter what others 

think of us, or what our society thinks of us, we are of

infinite value to the Creator of the Universe.

While working I used a small piece of wood to help with removing the
nails, and this is what I saw .
