Here Comes the Sun





His mercies are new each morning.  Yes, "weeping may endure for a night...but Joy cometh in the morning...Psalms 30:5.

There are so many experiences in life that can steal your joy.  A loved one's choices that conflict with your lifestyle, your goals and your mindset can interfere with your joy.  Your trusted friend or co-worker can turn on you. A relationship may end.  Your neighbor may not be especially helpful or kind. These situations can be disappointing and leave you struggling at the end of the day.

Remember to ask the Lord to help you...and He will answer your prayer in a way that's best for you.  Remember, each day as the sun rises, is a new day offering new mercies, new answers and perhaps new beginnings.

Forgiveness



Kelsey Witte Photographer

FORGIVENESS does not mean ACCEPTANCE


We are called to Forgive one another by our Faith in a loving God and His Word.
This does not mean we have to accept someone's choices, wicked words and hurtful ways.
It just means "we" must experience a change of heart ourselves.

Something happens inside of our minds and souls when we Forgive others.
It frees us...the chain of negativity is broken. 



WE then find Peace in the "Garden of our Soul"



It is well in the garden of my soul
It is well in the garden of my soul
The Lord knows my heart and all is well
In the garden of my soul

Written by Angelia Nabors 2001



Forgive others … as God forgives you.
The Book of Matthew 18

PHI - God's Perfection



PHI - God's Perfection



I am amazed at the beauty of our God's Creation, perfect in every detail.

I was recently reminded of His presence in all things.  
He is still taking care of each and every detail in all situations and in all things.

Thank you Lord

AMEN

Inspiration


Sometimes inspiration comes when you least expect it.  

Color, Nature, the scent of an essential oil, the design of a vintage piece of jewelry or furniture, instrumental hymns, instrumental Latin Jazz, a full-bodied red wine, a nice Sauvignon Blanc, a glass of Champagne poured in a tall flute, spending time with my  
Grands, spending quiet time with my Love, my Sons, my Daughters, Tropical flowers, traveling and cruising, sitting on a beautiful beach, Sea glass, being in the Mountains, sitting by the pond in my hometown's Central Park, enjoying Lexington's scenery, remembering the California Coast, remembering West Virginia, the perfect pan of Jalapeno cornbread, Amish butter, caper berries, fresh Salmon, fresh coffee brewed in my $5 Perc pot, Photography, the sound of my Grandmother Clock, Vintage Glass, the soothing sound of my Love playing the piano, the view out of every window in our home, watching the families of deer from our front porch, seeing the sunrise each morning, being grateful for God's true Love, listening to the voice inside and finding a Watercolor Artist from the Netherlands...Annemiek Groenhout...
