Charity

{I Corinthians 13:8}

The power of love is incomprehensible;

but it's effects are undeniable.

So grateful for the love of my heavenly Father

and those I hold most dear in my life.

Resolution

 A resolution is a determining course of action.

This year I want to push myself to be better in every area of life.

I want to learn patience and take time to cherish those I hold dear.

I don't want to take the good times for granted, nor be afraid of difficulties.

Because when you stop and look around this life is pretty amazing!

Excited about joining in this year's Project 52 with Darcy.

 

Thankfulness Part III

I count myself so blessed to be part of a great church family.

God has put so many wonderful and wiser people in my path and for that I am truly grateful.

When I go to church it is always exactly what I needed.

Sometimes it may not even be from the message, but instead from a single gesture or words of another Christian.

Just last night, as I was walking out of church I was approached by a woman, who grabbed me by the elbow and whispered in my ear,

Nicole, I just wanted to let you know I am praying for you.

Her words humbled me.  There are so many people in the church who really need prayer -

some have cancer, others have lost a loved one, some are going through a trial...

And yet, this woman has chosen to pray for me - a single young woman.

It is moments like those that I find myself saying, 

Thank you Lord, I am truly blessed.

God is good

 

Through the good times and the bad...

God

is

good.

I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine!

~Nathaniel Hawthorne 

there's something about carrying a camera...

that makes you notice things around you that were never noticed before.

It is like seeing with new eyes.

Earth laughs in flowers.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

People from a planet without flowers,

would think we must be mad with joy

the whole time to have such things about us.

Iris Murdoch

God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone,

but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars.

Martin Luther
