Hope

Two symbols of hope.

Above everything else,

 The Word of God.

  The American Flag, still flying proudly today.

Have a happy, and safe July Fourth.

Love,

Shirley

Believe!

Just a few words today. But they mean so much.
Have a blessed day and just believe.
Miracles really do happen.
Love,

Shirley

Old Poem

I have a book of old poems that I get down and look through now and then.
Old fashioned poems that tell a story, and like the one above the words are true.

Pleasure is sweet but fleeting.
When sorrow comes along,the lessons we learn last a lifetime.
Even so, life is sweet,
Look up!
God is still in control
Love,
Shirley

Birthday Flowers...Early

My Birthday is July 14.
My daughter ordered a bouquet of flowers to be delivered on July 13.
They came on June 13. One month early.
They were beautiful, I kept them as long as I could until they were growing weary.
 I rescued these and made a small arrangement in my window.
I hate to throw flowers away!
My birthday is growing near, the years are flying by, but one thing I can say...
The Lord has been my shelter in the storms of life,
 I have been blessed, and I thank Him for each day I have been given on the earth.
Blessings on all.
Love,
Shirley

Sunday

Beautiful Sunday morning... the last day of June 2019.

The year is half over.

 I often feel that as I grow older that time is going by at a faster speed than in my younger years.

 The world is full of turmoil and troubles,but God has given us another Sunday...to rest and worship.

Have a blessed day.

Love,

Shirley

Bloom!

We often wonder why sorrows come our way, and bad things happen.

I do not know the reason why,

but

Even in the valley, the Light can shine, and others may be helped just by watching

how we react when troubles come along.

Blessings on all.

Love,

 Shirley 

Sunrise

Early morning.

The sun just beginning to shine through the trees.

I stand on my front porch in the mornings and see all the beauty of the sunrise.

And I feel so blessed.

Love,

Shirley
