Reflection, I needed this tonight

So, my heart melts and I am instantly taken back to each of these moments in time.

How intensely thankful I am for photography and those in the pictures.

There is so much to do before they find their way beyond our home. Where will they go and how will they get there... By grace they will.

Happy 11th Birthday Sweet Sam!

My first born of the girls (therefore first born tendancies - according to Dr. Lehman's book on first borns!) but third in the family has grown into such a precious young lady. Samantha is truly a gift that keeps on giving. She is constantly creating, giving gifts, caring for her siblings, making incredibly creative desserts and arranging platters of goodies. She has a spark that I know God has blessed her with that will carry her through life.

 

 

My verse for Samantha

Matthew 6:33

Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

 

 

I love you Samantha E. F!

relaxing with the birds

Watching and waiting allows me time to...relax.

What kind of word is that these days? Even if I take a few moments that seems to fill my soul cup to the brim.

I marvel at the bravery these birds have to fly right by me and perch, look around sneak a seed and off they go.

I fed them at that moment, selfishly I do that so I can observe them close up.

I have always loved watching nature unfold in front of my eyes. From a thunderstorm rolling in, the sun rising and setting or birds taking care of their brood.

 

 

...caught taking a picture

 

 

Taking photos is relaxing, especially moments like this! My children, my favourite subjects!

1 John 4:7

Let us love one another with the love that comes from you. And as we love each other, live in us, Lord, and make your love complete in us.

 

My prayer today....
