Purple and Blue

We were treated to this beautiful purple and blue sky this evening.

Amazing!

Another one for my blessing jar!

My Blessing Jar

I am always looking at Etsy,Pinterest, and other handmade and craft places.

That is where the idea for this blessing jar came from.

Mason jars are popular now, and this is a really sweet way to use them.

 Every day is filled with blessings, many we do not recognize as such.

Write a blessing on a slip of paper each day.

At the end of the year, get the jar down and look back over them,

and see how you have been blessed through the year.

Start:

I spray painted the jar, and used sandpaper to distress it.

I actually messed this up...

 but I kept on going.

Adding pink roses!

Back:

Here is one I made for my friend Debbie.

The simple things in life can sometimes be good things.

And pink roses...always!

Have a great day.

Love,

Shirley

Summer Flowers

A little bit of summer to brighten up this cold winter day.

Have a good one!

Mercy

Mercy....such a beautiful word.

God's mercy is there for all..Just call upon Him.

Have a blessed day.

Love,

Shirley

Birds

They sit in the top of trees,

and on the wires.

And most mornings give a free concert.

I love my bird friends.

Frost

When I looked outside this morning, my yard looked like a field of tiny white flowers.

But it was just frost.

Still beautiful.

Winter...Summer..

This picture was taken on a walk in the woods one January day some time ago.

After all the Christmas festivities are over, I actually like the month of January.

A new year and a new beginning.

But I am really a Summertime person!

This was taken one warm, rainy summer day.

It is one of my favorite pictures.

Have  blessed day.

Love,

Shirley
