That is so wonderful to hear!!! Yes, the news keeps us all on edge these days. We try not to listen to it anymore than absolutely necessary. I find myself retreating more and more away from the world when things get this crazy...and I am so thankful for this beautiful respite in God's creation. I am thankful for you that you also have a peaceful place where you can go and pray and meditate on God's Word and Beauty. He created it for us to enjoy.<br />Blessings, my friend. Pamela M.

Maybe when the weather cools down my brain will get back into gear. I am glad you enjoyed this. I pray it was an encouragement to you. Yes, I understand about the deer in the roads. We have that problem here as well. I am thankful I am able to enjoy them in their more natural and happy state at this time! Blessings to you today!Pamela M.

I spend time each evening sitting in our yard swing and talk to God and take in the beauty of our QUIET yard. We do this every night around 8:00. It has helped me remain calm about issues in the news. Since January, I prayed for a friend's son-in-law who had naso-esophgeal cancer. He had a PET-scan on Monday. I received a text-message that he is cancer free!quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-22169485250052440402016-08-05T15:50:19.854-04:002016-08-05T15:50:19.854-04:00Pam, Sorry I've been scarce lately.

Living in Iowa deer are common sights; sadly that usually means on/near a highway--they are the cause of many accidents. Thankfully, I've only seen them and not hit them. Focusing on the Lord really does help; my goal this year is to focus on abiding in the Lord.<br /><br />Blessings!Kim Jollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670842504983601263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-1656914797853249142016-08-05T14:54:24.322-04:002016-08-05T14:54:24.322-04:00Isn't that wonderful news?

I did have a closer encounter yesterday with one of the fawns, and I was able to videotape it.

He is the reason I am here...and to have the opportunity to share Him with others is pure joy. <br />Yes, I praise God for all the beauty surrounding us...it's there for all if we take the time to look for Him. Not everyone has woods and deer to enjoy, but if we look deeply, we will see Him. I am happy to know that you share this same perspective on life! God bless you, my new friend!<br />Pamela M.
