2024 OCTOBER gold
OCTOBER gold
What do think of the word, gold ; Color, price, medal, weight, metals, jewelry, ? What is worth more than gold to you? Is Heaven paved with gold or does it just look like that because of the light from our father? Autumn has been becoming beautiful with each and every moment. Although the days are getting shorter, they seem to be full of wonderful sights and sounds A span of colors ranging from deep earth tones and glittery golds to brilliant sky blues. Leaves crunching to whistles in the trees are a delight on every walk in the woods. Let’s make special fall memories with nature and remember who made it all. Thanks be to God.

2024. SEPTEMBER holy
2024
SEPTEMBER
season
Holy
(the son will walk on the sea)
This autumn season always brings reflection. What will you reflect on where will your thoughts rest. I always Try to keep my thoughts on positive or creative things. “His word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Memorizing scripture helps. “This is the day the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad in it.” These are fun and easy ones.
Just recently, I went to the movie, ๐ฟ Reagan. I thought it was very thoughtfully made; well done. Patriotism and reverence to God are good character traits along with knowing your history. I recommend it for all.
Leaves and a rusty mauve are colors I am using in my decorating and paintings this season. Love the season.

2024 AUGUST GRIT
2024 AUGUST
grace, grit, gratitude
I love the word grit, I believe it is the essence of strength of character, mental and emotional tenacity. The “get r done” Perseverance that helps a person endure challenges. When August comes we need grit to persevere in all the last days or dog days of summer.
When the summer heat persists we get thirsty and think of water. Hoping we get refreshed at beaches, lakes, or rivers These places always have memories and pictures to remember.
grace
Grit
I hope the dog days of summer don’t make you too tired or thirsty. I hope you find a way to be filled with refreshing water ๐ฆ or even living water from Jesus. God is our oasis.
Grateful
Stay focused and on track. Think about things that are admirable and worthy of praise thus staying with His spirit. “In this world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” John 16:33. When you determine to be strong in the Lord with your mind stayed on Him, He will give you the (grit) perfect peace and strength you need.
“Have faith in me and you will have life giving water flowing from deep inside you.” John7. We are crowned with favor and anchored in hope. John Eldredge quote: “we need Jesus like we need water. Like we need oxygen . Like a branch needs a vine. “ As for refreshing ourselves, we must have calm and quiet surroundings which will in turn humble us before the Lord. Dogs know how to do this, watch them jump in water and lay down quietly during the heat of the day. Where or how can we humble ourselves before the Lord?
I believe that each day is a gift and that everyday miracles are sprinkled about if only we have eyes and hearts to see them.

May 27 Memorial Day ๐บ๐ธ
Well it’s May and snow flurries keep spritzing through our days so it will be a late start to summer. So much for our leap day trying to regulate the calendar. Yet the evenings are longer and usually warmer. The sun is a welcome addition to any day. It’s an El Niรฑo year so dryer than we’ve had in the last ten years.
I feel so alive in the mornings but Sometimes I try to live so much in these longer days that at night I have memorized this verse: I have finished the race , I have kept the faith... good night ๐ค ๐
Have a memorable Memorial Day. If it’s sunny climb a mountain. If it’s rainy; here are a few good movies to remember our special soldiers: Saving Private Ryan, Hacksaw Ridge, Lone Survivor, Glory, Dunkirk. And be sure to hang old Glory outside your home and have a great barbecue.๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ
