Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits the dawn. A cold wind greets me as I breathe in the morning air. There is no light in the sky, but the rooster is crowing and the birds are singing their praises. We are all thankful for another day of life. Even in the darkest of times, there is always a blessing in life. Sometimes we have to move through the pain and look back. God walks beside you and hears your tears fears and prayers. Be grateful for each and every person in your life. We only travel this journey of life for a short while. We are all just walking each other home. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Hearts

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits the dawn.  Clouds hide the mountain from my view, but the birds are singing as the rooster chimes in his two cents. A cold wind sends me back inside. Winter is holding on for as long as it can. You will notice that there is a rhythm of life all around us. I see it mostly in nature as I sit quietly and watch. People come and go filled with energy, laughter,  pain and sorrow. Even when in pain, the smile still comes through when they are acknowledged. We all want to be seen and be of value. God loves us as the beautiful Masterpiece he created from pure love. Reach out in love and kindness.  Let people know that you value them and love them just the way they were created by God. We can change our world one heart at a time.  Share Your Heart ❤and Shine Bright.

Hugs

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits the dawn. It is about thirty minutes before dawn and the birds are already singing their praises of the new day. It is a welcoming sound of spring. It feels like that much needed hug that you wish would never end or the one you wish you still had. Hugs are so important to our well-being. They convey love, kindness, affection and sympathy. Sometimes I just know someone needs a hug or perhaps it is me. Reach out when the urge strikes you. You never know how many hearts may be healed by one gesture. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Allergies

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits the dawn. The snowy white peak of Mt. Hood shines in the darkness as I watch the landscape. Everything was in bloom in Portland yesterday and I sneezed my head off. Allergy season has arrived, but oh how beautiful the flowers look. I just love this purple rhododendron. Soon the ones at my house will awaken from their winter nap and display their colors. It is a beautiful time of year. Beauty surrounds us in all seasons and times of our lives. We have to open our hearts, throw off the shackles of hate or despair and let God’s light work its magic. We are loved. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Listen

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits the dawn. It is a clear night and a million stars twinkle down on me. As I sit here with my blankets and coffee, I say my prayers of gratitude and ask God to give me the words someone needs to hear. I sit in silence and listen with my ears. The wind whispers through the trees and the leaves rustled at my feet. The birds continue to sing. He speaks to us through nature and each other, but we must reach out to him with our hearts. Open your heart and invite him in each day to be a part of your life. Reflect that love and joy to those you meet. Lead the way with faith, hope and love. Share Your Heart ❤ and Shine Bright.

Spring

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. It is 44 degrees and the birds are singing their praises of the morning. My little hummingbird buddy is bellied up to feeder and enjoying life. My capture is from the park in town yesterday. The trees are blooming and people are out enjoying the sunshine. Most people have broken the shorts out of the closet and wearing them in 50 and 60 degree weather. It takes all kinds of people to make up this big world. We are all unique and created by God. Be your crazy self and make everyone smile. Life would be boring if we were all the same. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. The mountain is shining brightly under cloudy skies. It is always a beautiful sight. My capture is from a year ago. The peach trees were already blooming and spring was underway. This year has been a little colder, but I noticed a few blooms were shyly peeking through. Soon the valley will be alive with color and pollen. Be sure to look for God’s messages of love as you go through your day. They are reminders that He is always with you and you are loved.

Angels

Good Morning Everyone! Another beautiful day awaits the dawn. The usual silence of the morning is broken by fans roaring in the orchard to protect the new buds from frost. Smudge pots are spaced out across the area in case the temperature drops too much. The old rooster crows louder to be heard above the noise.  The morning is up and alive before daylight.  We all have a job and purpose in this life and must do our part to look out for each other. God calls on all of us at one time or another to be His angels. Sometimes you wonder what one person can change. A smile, a touch of a hand, a kind word or a heartfelt prayer for another person can mean the difference in their lives. Never under estimate the power of a kind and loving heart.  Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Beauty

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits the dawn. The weather is getting a little warmer and the orchards are starting to come alive. Little buds grace the peach and cherry trees. The apple and pears are not far behind. Each day, I look for the changes and anticipate the beautiful flowers that will soon emerge from the earth. Seasons change and time marches on, even when we aren’t ready. Enjoy the moment that you are in and make the most of your circumstances. Look for the beauty that God has placed before you and know that you are loved. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright

Time

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits the dawn. The moon is shining in all its glory as it heads across the sky. Silvery light plays across the landscape as I watch the morning unfold. I had not realized that I have not seen the moon in a while. Clouds have kept it hidden from view. It was a welcome sight to see. It is easy to get wrapped up in our daily lives and forget to notice the little reminders of God’s love. The birds sing His praise each morning as they start their day. The flowers reach for the heavens and shine His light. His love beams from the faces of our family, friends and strangers we pass each day. Take the time to notice, be grateful and shine His light. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.
