Being Useful

When my granddaughter was a toddler,my hubby would call her "Tigger" , because she loved to hop and jump around.

When you're young you can do lots of things that you may not be able to do when you get older.

There are always things we Can do.

We can be useful in any season of our life, even though we may not be able to do the same things we did when we were young.

 We may begin to feel useless and hopeless, there is one thing that we can all still do.

1 Corinthians 13:13

And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three but the greatest of all these is Love.

 Love is one thing we all need and can be given to others in need, at any age. 

We can all show love, by our actions and our words.

"They shall still bring forth fruit in old age";

Psalms 92:14a

Another way to be useful and encouraged is to pray, not only for ourselves but for others.

"Continue in prayer and watch in the same with thanksgiving"

Colossians 4:2

Praying for others not only helps others but helps us stay close to our heavenly father.

Begin the day with God; 

Kneel down to Him in prayer;

Lift up your heart to His abode,

And seek His love to share~

Dann

"O Lord cleanse my heart and fill it with your love, that I may share it with others today"

Amen

May your day be blessed with Love

Walking in my Sunny Yard

These days are so hot now that I don't get outside as much as I would like. Yesterday I did venture out for a walk around the yard to see how things were growing.

    It was a clear sky day and the Rose of Sharon

was so pretty, I love the color.

       The Petunia hanging basket is growing and spreading.

       The Moss Rose also is growing.
      I love Moss Rose!

This is the pretty Pink Crape Myrtle in my neighbor's yard, but I can see it from my back patio.

Can you see it?

 (across the street)

So the plants are doing good in the mid to high 90's temperatures.
We are enjoying our new neighborhood.

I put this photo on Facebook, thought I would include it here also. I do a lot of porch sitting.

I do try to count my blessings everyday.

 Every day is a blessings!

These are rockers on the screen porch in the cabin we stayed in at FDR State Park, our favorite park to visit and stay in. I love Front Porch Rocking!

Have a Blessed Day!

Break Update

Hello blogging friends. Another week in this month. The days come and go. I have missed everyone, Hope your days are good ones.

Just a short update.

I have spent time, front porch sitting.

Enlarging my flower garden, they are mostly in pots. That will have to be another day's post, for I haven't edited the photo's yet.

(reminder:find time to do that) 

 My grandson and his dad got home on Saturday from a mission trip in Guatemala. JC is almost 14 and was really blessed by the people there. They built a church in 6 days. There were 25 from church that went.

 When they finished building, they all prayed over it!

I went to a day lily festival with two of my sister's. I bought this pretty day lily.

I hope you are enjoying these pretty days, although some days are really too hot to be outside. High today is 90, but it's still a good day to have a good day!

Be Blessed!

Untill next time,

Sylvia 

Hello June !
