Friday Foto Friends - Morning Walk in the Sunlight

Perhaps I should change the title to "Morning Walk in the SONLight!"  Because that is what it felt like to me.  Walking in the morning light of God's SON:

"Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!

They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance.

In Your name they rejoice all day long,

and in Your righteousness they are exalted.

For You are the glory of their strength..."

Psalm 89:15-17

"All things were made through Him,

and without Him nothing was made that was made.

In Him was life, and the life was the LIGHT of men.

And the LIGHT shines in the darkness,

and the darkness did not comprehend it."

John 1:3-5

As I took my quick little "walkabout" the neighborhood early this morning, I couldn't help but notice how lovely the sunlight was filtering through the trees and filling the morning with God's glory. These pictures are from around the neighborhood, and ending up in the Secret Garden:

Everything was calm and peaceful in the Secret Garden. I wanted to linger there a while and just drink in the beauty of God's Presence.

You may not appreciate the "beauty" of spider webs, but how can you not appreciate the intricate design of these amazing webs...kind of like "dinner platters" stretched out, waiting to be served!

"The eyes of all look expectantly to You, 

and You give them their food in due season.

You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing."

Psalm 145:15-16

Even the ones that look a little bit like an alien!

I discovered these little "Brown-eyed Susans" smiling up at the SONlight this morning...right in my own backyard.  I was astonished to find them there because I had planted wildflower seeds in that very spot last year, and none ever came up or bloomed...and now here they are, smiling at me and rejoicing in the SONLight!

I guess it helps that we haven't mowed this section of the yard in a while because we've been getting so much rain.  

The only down side of this particular moment was that I got a tiny little tick on my leg and had to go inside and remove it as quickly as possible! Note to self: Always remember to put insect repellent on your bare legs before walking in the weeds!!!  As a fun note: This verse in Psalm 145 might be appropriate here:

20.  "The Lord preserves all who love Him,

but all the wicked He will destroy."

(especially ticks!)

But more seriously and joyously:

Psalm 145:21

"My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord,

and all flesh shall bless His holy Name

forever and ever."

Amen

I hope your Friday is a beautiful day, walking in the "SONlight" of the Lord.

Now, let's all walk over to Bev's Place at "Breathing in Grace" and see what our Friday Foto Friends are sharing!

This Is One of Those Wordless Picture Posts~Almost



Now, you have to admit, that's pretty!


What's so special about a cast iron skillet full of cornbread?

Nothing in particular...I just liked the way it looked

and couldn't resist taking it's picture!

You want the recipe you say?

Oh, no! It's top secret!

You'll have to ask the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix people.


Have a wonderful day!




Scripture for the day:

"The eyes of all look expectantly to You,
and You give them their food in due season.
You open Your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.


The Lord is righteous in all His ways,
Gracious in all His works.
The Lord is near to all who call upon Him,
To all who call upon Him in truth.
He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;
He also will hear their cry and save them.
The Lord preserves all who love Him,
but all the wicked He will destroy.
My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord,
And all flesh shall bless His holy name
forever and ever."


Amen.


Psalm 145:15-21
