Friday Foto Friends...Just Swinging In To Say Hello

   Thought I'd just swing in to say hello to my Friday Foto Friends!

 By Robert Louis Stevenson

(I have had this book since my early childhood. It is a real antique treasure !)

Here is why my face was so happy as I was swinging under that big old oak tree...Isn't this a beautiful sight?

"Up in the air and over the wall, 'till I can see so wide...

 Rivers and trees and cattle and all...

Over the countryside..."

I will only mention to you that when you ask me what kind of place are you looking for when you sell your house and move...Well...you see what I am looking for in these pictures above! It's not about the house as much as it is about the location. 

No, we haven't sold our house yet (but we are still praying...)  and No, we haven't bought another house yet...(but we are still praying...)  and if we were able to do so today, I think I would have signed on the dotted line.  Yes, it is available...yes, it is beautiful...oh, you wanted to know what the house is like?  Well, let's just say that we would definitely have to downsize a bit, and the road to get to this place is definitely "scenic"

And there might be some very interesting "neigh"bors along the way...(or maybe I should say, Hee-Haw!)

But I won't show any pictures of the house unless we actually are able to purchase it...which won't be happening anytime soon unless a miracle takes place pretty quickly before someone else snaps up this gem in the wild!

So we will just leave it at that for now.  There are many hoops to jump through before we can make an offer on any house...mainly a solid contract on our house first...but we can still dream and enjoy the scenery along the way...

And keep a "Happy Thought", as Robert Louis Stevenson did:

"The world is so full of a number of things,

I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings."

And yes, we are waiting on the Lord to show us His plan...which might  WILL even be better than anything we could have imagined, so it is best to wait on Him.

Portions of Psalm 16

5.  "O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;

You maintain my lot.

6.  The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;

Yes, I have a good inheritance.

7.  I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;

My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.

8.  I have set the Lord always before me;

Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

11.  You will show me the path of life;

In Your presence is fullness of joy;

At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

Thank You, Lord, for giving us wisdom and guidance in this process. We will continue to trust in You.

Amen.

Okay, friends, let us go over to Deb's place at Breathing in Grace and visit with our other Friday Foto Friends !  Hope you have a blessed and beautiful day, filled with happy thoughts!
