This morning I gave a ride to my neighbor, as I do from time to time, to a farm east of here where he works. Dense fog rolled in over night, shrinking the view to what was at hand. Up for a challenge, I tossed my camera in the car thinking I might find something interesting on the way home. Here’s what I found.
Interesting to me and hopefully to you …
Today’s Gift…
This is my Father’s World
Wintertime flowers
Gracing a chilly morning
Far away from home
Wintertime flowers
Waiting safely in seed coats
For springtime at home
… Today’s gift
Fall days...
Gray
Dark, dreary
Damp, murky
Pervasive gloom
Yet…
In the midst of lurking gray,
dark, dreary, damp,
murky and pervasive gloom
There is still
Penetrating Light
Subtle splashes of color
Magical displays of wonder
Nudging us to remember
That delight and hope and love remain
Amid Autumn Days
It’s October…
It’s’ windy, rainy
There’s a chill in the air.
Yet…
It’s a good day to go to the beach!
Unexpected Delight
Today’s Gift
Here are a few things I saw on my morning walk.
I thought I’d share… just for fun
Today’s gift
I knew where I was going.
I wasn’t lost.
My destination was secure.
However…
In the fog
There was uncertainty
About what waited ahead
Perhaps…
Something dreaded?
Something delightful?
Something unexpected?
Not to worry…
I know where I am going.
I am not lost.
My destination is secure.
On our way for donuts
Out of the blue
Ben
He wonders “How does God do this?”
Butterflies, hummingbirds, flowers, rain…
They float, they hover, they bloom, it waters…
They delight, they amaze, they beautify, it sustains…
He wonders “How does God do this?
Ben
Out of the blue…
Forgets about donuts …
And in his wondering …
Praises the One who made them.
Today’s gift.
They’re finally blooming, the new ones, that is…
I thought I’d share.
Today’s gift
“Praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord, my soul…
He is the Maker of heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them—
he remains faithful forever.”
Psalm 146:1,6
This is the day the Lord has made,
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
Today’s Gift
Sometimes life can leave one…
Dry
Dusty
Thirsty
Lonely
In disarray
Barren
Empty
A desert
Yet God provides…
A wellspring
Refreshing
Life-giving
Water
Living water
Sparkling
Light-of-the-World
Water
Just when it’s needed most.
An oasis
Walk as Children of Light
