Jeremiah 33:2 says:
"Thus says the LORD who made it, (the earth) the LORD who formed it to establish it, (The LORD is His name):

Good Morning Friends! It's Friday...and at first I thought I didn't have anything new to share with you, but then I started looking back through the week's pictures and realized there were several beautiful blessings to share:
First, there was this lone male Wood Duck in Still Waters Pond:
and then his lovely lady showed up and joined him for a swim about the pond:
Aren't they a gorgeous couple?
Next Mr. Great Blue Heron showed up:
He stood there preening himself in the sun:
And here comes our resident Canada Geese, having their morning breakfast along the shore:
Next they swam over toward the island:
and decided to explore the island for a few minutes. After a quick look around they dipped back into the pond and glided away...
Meanwhile back on shore we've been enjoying watching the Goldfinches and Bluebirds and lots of other birds this week. This picture doesn't really show the birds, but I just love the view of the little purple "fairy flowers" growing wild in the yard. I told my hubby not to mow them down until they are finished blooming. They are so pretty to watch swaying back and forth in the breeze.
Lily Grace has been keeping a watch for the birds outside the window, with the camera ready for action... She's a great "little helper"!
It has been a lovely week.
On Wednesday morning our women's group at church met for our monthly gathering. More ladies are coming out now and we are so thankful to have made it through this long, somewhat lonely year. God has truly blessed and watched over our church family, and we give Him the praise and glory.
They are all saying Thank You, Jesus!
I took some pictures the other evening at our church when I was there for another meeting. The sun was setting in the west, and so the pictures are not as clear, but I wanted to get pictures of our lovely azaleas and camellias before they stop blooming:
They are blooming everywhere right now and look so beautiful! I hope to take a ride around some of the more historic areas this weekend and get pictures of some more before they are finished.
Yesterday I stayed home and rested. Had a little bug of some kind...dizzy and puny feeling, but it is on its way out...sinuses are causing the dizziness I think...lots of pollen in the air.
I am very thankful for all the ways God has blessed and provided and shown us His love, especially in this last year, in spite of all the difficulties and sorrows that have come upon our land. We have been truly blessed here in our home and church and community, and we give God the glory. Great things He has done!
Do you remember this hymn, "To God be the Glory, Great Things He hath done!"
Why not sing along with us?
Psalm 95:1-3
1. "Oh come, let us sing to the Lord!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
2. Let us come before His Presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
3. For the Lord is the great God,
and the great King above all gods."
