Cards and Sunflowers

A sunflower card.

Made from a paper napkin.

Sunflowers from Summer's garden.

No matter if they are printed on paper, or real...

Sunflowers are special.  

They bring joy to the beholder!

Have a blessed day!

Shirley

Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day!

Winter Beauty

The sun is shining on the bare branches of the tree across the road.

Against our beautiful Carolina blue sky.
The Lord sends beauty to His creation, even on these cold winter days.

Love,

Shirley

Blessing Jar

Decorative painting is the best hobby I have ever had.

 It blesses my soul.

When life gets hard, it seems I can pick up my brush, and for a short while,

 go to Another Place.

Where things are so much better!

This is an old Ball canning jar., with pink roses.

It has a slot in the lid to write down blessings when they occur, and one day when we are feeling low, get them out and read them again.

And realize that God never leaves us alone.

Wishing for all a blessed day...filled with sunshine, blessings, and beautiful roses!

Love,

Shirley

Bluebird

The bluebirds are here all year. 

I see them sitting on the wires in front of the house all the time.

There is a saying that bluebirds signify happiness.

Real happiness seems to be in short supply these days.

  When these beautiful birds visit my yard, it always  

lifts my spirit.

Every good thing comes from God.

Thank the Lord for the bluebirds!

Blessings!

Shirley

Rejoice!

Rejoice!

Because of God's Amazing Grace.

Free to all who may come. 

Love,

Shirley

Seasons Of Love

After a long sickness, my husband passed in June of 2021.

We married as young teenagers...and despite all odds...it lasted 66 years.

I wrote this poem for him.

Through many heartaches and many joys..Love was constant.

God is good!

Love,

 Shirley
