In the Garden

"My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up."

Ps.5:3

 

Have a Blessed Weekend!

Overwhelmed !

 Do you ever get overwhelmed with your  duties you need to do each day.   It may seem as if

no one cares, and everyday it's the same thing over and over. Do you sometime cry out "Lord, I can't do everything".

 Yes, I do get like that at times, but when I stop and remember that I am to "do all things as unto the Lord" !  Colossians 3:23, I am calmed and remember that my goal should be to please my Lord and do it as unto Him,and not others.

 My Bible study this morning, was about this very thing that I seem to face each day.  When you are involved in outside activities, family and  household duties and struggle to find some time for yourself, it can and sometimes is overwhelming.

 It's easy to get down on yourself and have what I call a "pity party".  You feel sorry for yourself and begin to believe that you can't accomplish any thing or do it right.

When you struggle to do all things in your on strength, yes we do get tired and get down on ourselves.

Our Lord doesn't expect us to do "everything", but He does "equip" us to do what He wants us to do and that isn't everything. 

Find some time today to sit quietly, pray and draw near to God.

Have a Blessed day!

Warmer Days are here again!

Yesterday and today has been such a blessing,

getting outside and riding along the country roads, then playing in the dirt!  75 Degrees today! Yay!

We did that yesterday, hubby and I went for a drive. He is doing better, just having to use his oxygen more during the day.

We stopped just outside Pine Mountain, to have lunch at the 

Callaway Gardens Country Kitchen Restaurant.

Across the road is an overlook, just pass the flags is a very very deep drop. 

 

After we had eaten and was ready to leave, I saw this shrub.

 Don't know what it is but it had pretty flowers.

 So good to finally see some blooms.

We drove to the town of Pine Mountain, stopped at this antiques store that I love. Didn't buy anything, just looked.

On the way home my grandson called, he wanted to come  visit.  I put him to work (he really offered to plant my Iris),  My daughter brought me some Iris, when she got interested in gardening, I gave some to her. They multiply so she had plenty.

He planted them along the retaining wall.

I am getting in the mood to work outside and start a flower bed, but I am not able to dig and bend much so it will have to be something that can be planted shallow or Johnathan will come and plant for me.

Aren't grandchildren a blessing, especially when they enjoy helping!  He told me to buy some plants and he will come next week and plant them. Love that young man!

Hope you are enjoying some warm weather!

Be Blessed!

Thankful for Blogging Friends

I want to thank all my blogging friends for

their prayers and well wishes when my hubby

was having problems this week with his COPD.

He is doing much better. God is Good! He hears

and answers our prayers.

Here are a couple photo's of  Cherry trees.

Last year I met my sisters for the annual Cherry Blossom Festival in Macon,Ga. It's about time for it again this year.

Enjoy the day!

Looking Forward to Spring!

 Yesterday was a pretty day, but windy.

Hubby and I tried walking around the

pond at the park, but didn't get very far.

He's having trouble with his COPD,

so I may be absent for awhile.

Please know I appreciate your prayers and 

visits.

Have a Blessed Day!
