Consider the lilies of the field… Matt 6:28
“James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” And he said to them, “What is it you want me to do for you?” And they said to him, “Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.” But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” Mark 10:35-38 (NRSV)
🎼I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses;
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses.
Refrain:
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
2 He speaks, and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing;
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing. [Refrain]
3 I’d stay in the garden with Him
Tho’ the night around me be falling;
But He bids me go; thro’ the voice of woe,
His voice to me is calling. [Refrain]🎼
“Even the stork in the sky
knows her appointed seasons,
and the dove, the swift and the thrush
observe the time of their migration.
But my people do not know
the requirements of the Lord.” (Jeremiah 8:7 NIV)
Do you have a spot where you meet with the voice of God and nature? I’m in awe of Author: C. Austin Miles that pen these words, “He speaks, and the sound of His voice is so sweet the birds hush their singing;…”
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12
“The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD sits enthroned as king forever.
May the LORD give strength to his people! May the LORD bless his people with peace!”
(Psalm 29:10-11 (NRSV)
“The flowers appear on the earth once again; The time for singing has come, And the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree has budded and ripens her figs, And the vines are in blossom and give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, And come away [to climb the rocky steps of the hillside].”
Song of Solomon 2:12-13 AMP

Father, thank You for bringing beauty into our lives by giving us your beautiful flowers to enjoy. May the many that walk and ride by daily see, feel and know that You have placed these on a slight hill to bless them and find light, joy and hope for their daily chores. In Your presence is fullness of joy! “You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”Psalms 16:11

O sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord; bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. (Psalm 96:1-2 (NRSV)
You will be led out in peace. When you come to the mountains and hills, they will begin singing. All the trees in the fields will clap their hands. Isaiah 55:12
A friend in Leesburg, Va enjoyed her Friday evening with the Cardinals enjoying her sprinkler in 90 degree heat. She shared with me and I felt Awe at the beauty of all creation. Hope you enjoy! ❤️
The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him. Psalm 24:1
Happy Mothers Day to All that nurture children, plants and animals and often their parents or another’s Mother. Upon awakening and remembering “Mothers Day” I found myself reflecting on my sons and their skill of serving me breakfast in bed with eggshells baked in my bread. Grown men delighting me with the finest restaurants and with gifts that daily adorn me. Today, as we grow together as family we find our family has grown, changes in locales and lots of new adventures to savor and many yet to master.
I am thankful for family, Mothers and the love that grows as we grow, remembering those not with us and those we may embrace today! The old and the new makes for beauty when hearts are aglow with love! ❤️🔥
“ Sing a new song to the LORD! Let the whole earth sing to the LORD!” (Psalm 96:1 NLT)

“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.” I John 3:1
