Prayers

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits the dawn. The early morning hours, before the hustle and bustle of life gets started, are a peaceful time to enjoy my coffee and plan my day. Prayers for my family, friends and our world are whispered in the darkness. There are always prayers of gratitude for life and all my blessings. God is always listening and hears our prayers. Life gets busy and sometimes we take our way of life for granted. Things change in an instant. Be grateful for the people in your life and let them know that they are appreciated and loved. Live and love today. A new day awaits. Mend those fences, hold that hand, talk to a friend and share words of kindness, love and hope. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Spring

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. Chilly weather and clouds rule the day.  My capture is from yesterday.  It was a bright sunny day and these daffodils were shining in the light.  God’s little gifts of light to remind us that we are loved. Look around and you will see His love surrounds you in nature and the eyes of those who share your life. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Regrets

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. A light rain is falling under cloudy skies. One hummingbird is bellied up to the bar while another stands watch in the tree. At least they are sharing today. I went thrift shopping yesterday with my friend and had a great time. Sharing our lives and wandering through stores looking for treasures is relaxing and fun, especially when you find treasures. My capture is from last year. It came up as a memory and was too beautiful not to share again. We all make good and bad memories over a lifetime. Cherish the good ones and let them warm your heart. Life is too short for regrets. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Control

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. There is just enough breeze to keep the flag at attention and the rooster has given up for the morning. The birds have finally found my feeder again so I can watch them come and go. We don’t have control of the course of life. Try as we might to control and change the outcome, we learn to realize that God has the master plan. Accepting this with faith and placing your grief, worry,anger and burdens in His hands, frees our hearts to love and be loved. Life is too short for anger and grudges. Absorb the beauty, share your love unconditionally and live your best life today. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Precious

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits the dawn. Thank goodness it is my Friday and I can sleep in tomorrow. These bones are dragging this week with the time change. I do like it being daylight at seven when I am driving home. My capture is yesterday morning as I was driving in to work. The beauty of the blue skies and white snow peak combined with the orchard took my breath away. God knew what he was doing when He created this masterpiece. Remember that He created you and I with the same love and care. We are all precious in His sight. Love one another and do no harm. Kindness, compassion and respect rule the day. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Rewarding

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits the dawn. Everything is still and quiet this morning. The rooster is silent and there is no breeze to rustle the trees. It is a strange feeling as I watch the day begin. It is a crawl back under the covers kind of day, but responsibilities and life move forward. There is always something to do to make life a little easier for someone, share a smile with a stranger or greet a new friend. Life can be rich and rewarding if you look forward to the day with joy and promise. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Angels

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits the dawn. It is 45 degrees, overcast and a stiff breeze blows in my face. It is supposed to be a rain/snow mix, but probably just some rain. My capture is from Sunday when it snowed. I was able to capture my hummingbird as he sat in a nearby tree branch. He looks cold and alone in this scene. My presence did not bother him, but he is always alert for the cats next door. Look out for one another and lend a helping hand when possible. God calls on each of us to be His angels in this world. Here I am Lord. Are you ready when He calls on you? Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Nature

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits the dawn. I am blessed to share another day. My body doesn’t like the time change, but as with a lot of things in life, it just has to adjust. Things don’t always go our way, but life is pretty good. I was surprised to capture these beauties walking across a field yesterday. I stopped and watched as they wander by with no fear. It is wonderful to see the beauty in God’s creation. Living in the countryside allows you to witness the wonders of simple pleasures in life. Thank you, Lord, for your gifts of love and life. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Helping Hand

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. A gentle rain is falling and my hummingbirds are fighting for the nectar. There is plenty to go around, yet some folks just can’t share. Greed is an ugly thing. I grew up with families who shared their crops and looked out for their neighbors. If we did something wrong in town, Mama knew before we got home. I was blessed to be raised in a small town with good people and a foundation of faith. Reach out to others with kindness and compassion. We all could use a helping hand and a smiling face. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Respect

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. A strong breeze has the flag flying in all its glory. I noticed in town yesterday that the cherry trees were blooming and people were wearing shorts. It was 57 degrees. Each of us are different in our own way and deserve to be respected as children of God. My capture is the sunset last night as I returned home. Each sunset is the same, but uniquely different. The beauty and peace always amaze me. Find beauty in your world and in each other. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.
