Spontaneous is the word

     The sun is shining, all the windows in the house are wide open, the grass is green, flowers are blooming, red, yellow, blue, orange, white, purple. Even the apple tree has buds starting to come out. And me, well I am out soaking up as much sunshine as possible. My only question...Why can't it be like this all year around?!
 Once in awhile everybody needs to do something spontaneous. Spontaneity is the spice of life. Well maybe not everyday but I think the best moments are often the ones that just happen, no planning or preparation. 

      Driving out the the countryside one Saturday a few weekends ago we stopped by a field so I could take some photos and the others jumped out of the car and started playing ball in the middle of the road.  :)

 Another shot I got stopped at the side of the road a few weekend ago was these sheep, aren't they all so cute?!

But the cutest of all was this little lamb who started to kick and jump as they ran away!

                                                                                                                                          

Mother's Love

 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails."
           -1 Corinthians 13 

     Thank you Mom for showing me the meaning of this by living it. Your example to me is truly priceless!  

Sunshine is out!

It's far too beautiful outside to spend the day inside on the computer. I'm heading outside to enjoy the sunshine now, but I'll leave you with this photo of the flowers in our backyard.

Hope that you're having a lovely weekend!

"People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering."
~ St. Augustine

            How easy it is to forget that waking up each morning is a miracle, that each time my heart beats it's a gift. I'm thankful for life, thankful that I can believe in a God who is far bigger than I can comprehend, and that He gives me life each day and the freedom to choose how I live my life. Life is fragile, and life is full of beauty, even in this world of pain there are a million reminders of how awesome God is!
