Choose Me

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. It is finally warming up and the sun is shining brightly. The hummingbirds have my attention as they waltz in and out of the feeders. Their beauty and grace always amazes me. We all have a place in God’s plan. We do not know the reason for things that happen. Perhaps He is preparing us for something new or a new challenge. We walk this path in faith, hope and love. Here I am Lord. I am your humble servant. Choose me. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

New Day

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. Allergy season is in full swing and I am sneezing my head off. Men are out working in the yard and getting things ready for the first wedding here in June. It is such a beautiful location for a wedding venue. My capture is from five years ago when my sister and I were staying at Gulf shores. God’s glory shines out in this beautiful sunrise. It is one of my favorites. Fill each day with love and laughter. Let God’s light shine through you even in the darkness. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Never Give Up

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day that the Lord has made is underway. A cold light rain falls to nourish and cleans the earth. The flowers reach up to collect every precious drop of this life sustaining moisture. Rain, shine, hot or cold, we have to make a choice each day to see the positive aspect in life or waller in our own self pity. It is okay to be down or feel sorry for yourself and your situation, but we can’t live a good joy filled life looking at the negative. Never give up the fight for love, life or happiness. God is right there with you cheering you on to victory. He never gives up on us so never give up on yourself. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Gifts

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. It is 48 degrees and a cold breeze sweeps across the landscape. It looks like a few more chilly days and then maybe some warmer weather. The rhododendrons are loving the temperature and popping out in blossoms everywhere. They remind me of Mama’s azaleas that graced our yard growing up. Surround yourself with the beauty in nature and feel the love in each of God’s creations. The people who walk beside you in good times and bad are His greatest gifts. Treasure your time together and plant seeds of kindness and love throughout your day. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright

Song

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is dawning. Big fat robins are hopping on the lawn as a chorus of birds sing their praise of the new day. A hint of color fills the sky as the sun reaches for the horizon. My heart fills with praise and my soul with peace as I listen and watch the new day begin. I think we should take a lesson from the birds. If we keep a song in our heart, we can keep the joy on our journey. Sing God’s praises and dance to the rhythm of life.

Peace

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. Cloudy skies and a gentle breeze greet me as I step outside. Fresh cool air fills my lungs as I listen to the birds chatter in the trees. Yes, the rooster is crowing. My capture is from yesterday as I walked in the neighbors yard. This beautiful pink rhododendron was calling out to me like a Sirens song.

These beauties are starting to bloom all over the yard. Being out in God’s creation fills me with peace and reminds me that we are loved beyond measure. Thank you Lord for the beauty that surrounds me in the birds, trees, flowers and streams. Always be grateful and spread kindness and love. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Faith

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. I got my bird feeders filled back up so I should be having visitors. It is unusually quiet. The cats from next door must be lurking under the deck or in the bushes. God gave us these amazing senses to warn us of danger. Daddy taught us how to watch the weather and look for signs of danger. We can’t live our lives in fear. We do the best we can to protect ourselves and our families and have faith in God’s plan for each of us. Life changes. Keep moving forward in faith, hope and love.

Simple Pleasures

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. I was awakened to the gentle pitter patter of raindrops falling on the roof. It is a soothing sound that takes me back to my childhood when we visited my Aunts house by the Bay. It is a good day to get some chores done, watch a movie or curl up with a cup of tea and a good book. These rainy days do have their benefits besides nourishing the earth. I love the rainbows that seem to pop up when the sun breaks through. Look for the simple pleasures in your life and thank God for all your blessings. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Memories

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. I slept in, but was able to capture color in the sky as the day was dawning. Clear blue skies and sunshine are the order of the day. I watch the landscape and enjoy my coffee as my mind races through memories of my children as they grew up. I wish I could have stopped the rat race and held them close a little longer, but we can’t go back. We continue on this journey of life in faith, hope and love doing the best we can. Let go of the past and remember the good memories and love you shared together. Make new memories every day and make sure they know you love them unconditionally.

Loved

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway.  It is a chilly start to the morning with overcast skies. A gentle breeze rustles the bushes as the birds sing their praises of the morning. I just noticed that the pink rhododendrons in my neighbors yard are starting to bloom. They are gorgeous. My capture is a little bit of God’s sunshine on a stem. You just have to smile when you look at these beauties. A beautiful reminder of His love and a message of hope for us all. You are never alone and you are loved.
