Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Friday, February 20 One mailbox down! Apparently a snowplow hit it during the night. Cerwin was able to repair it without much trouble. Later in the morning a front end loader came through to push the snow farther into the field in preparation for another snow storm. A regular snow plow followed to make sure the […]
Tuesday Evening, February 10 Watching the setting sun is like watching an artist at work. And He is an artist – The Master Artist. I never tire of watching the Master Artist.
Friday, February 6 I love beautiful, golden gifts.
Tuesday Morning, February 3 It was difficult to overlook a morning sky like this. It lit up every window that was facing east. It reached every area of the eastern sky. It didn’t last long. So I enjoyed it as long as possible. It truly was a sunset extraordinaire. A morning blessing from the Lord. At no charge.
January 17 & 18 Judi and her children enjoying window sunshine. They just got word today – Friday, January 23 – that the paperwork has been completed for them to leave Pennsylvania and head home with their little guy – who is in the process of being adopted. I am going to miss all four of them, […]
Sunday, January 11 It’s especially delightful to see a beautiful sunrise on a Sunday morning while enjoying a cup of coffee. We do our best to rest and be refreshed in our walk with the Lord on Sundays – and being a member of a church that encourages this is quite helpful. In Sunday school we focused on the […]
One evening I noticed a beautiful sunset about to happen as we drove to Landis Homes to visit Cerwin’s Mother, and took pictures of the process as we traveled. The sky continually changed as we went over hills and around corners.
Each of us wake up to beautiful sunrises on many mornings during our lifetime. They are available for each person to enjoy from God free whether we are rich or poor live in a mansion or a hut for our pleasure. They are there whether we appreciate them or not. The Lord is a great God, and […]
Tuesday, November 25 Today I knew which entrance to use when visiting Mother in Oregon House at Landis Homes. I didn’t need the ambulance to show me which door to enter. 🙂 We like the sign that the nurses made for her – attached to the wardrobe in her room. Cerwin’s brother, Elvin, and sister Velda […]
Blessed always his blazing glory! All earth brims with his glory. Yes and Yes and Yes. Psalm 72:18 The Message (MSG)
Sunday Evening, November 9 The first two were not taken directly toward the sun – just using the sun. I had fun trying to get several pictures using the sunset as a background. I like this one.
I went through photos from October – before we delivered the chapel to Pass Lake – and gathered a potpourri of shots for tonight’s post. ~~~ Wednesday Evening, October 8 A pretty sunset The blood moon was beautiful in the night sky. ~~~ Thursday, October 9 Evening sky When walking toward the house from the previous […]
Wednesday, October 8 & Thursday, October 9 We woke up to a beautiful sunrise on Wednesday, October 8. Can you tell that I am back to regular posting – and catching up with October photos? 🙂 I love morning fog. Later in the day we enjoyed seeing a beautiful blue sky with a few clouds sprinkled […]
Thursday, October 30 – Rochelle, Illinois, to Girard, Ohio We left the truck stop just before daybreak. Before long the sky was beautiful and I spent the next forty minutes playing with my camera and the morning light. Enjoy! Frost We will be on I-80 East until I-99 South – north of Penn State. […]
Monday Evening, September 22 It is difficult for me to not go outside with my camera when the sky is pretty. As I crossed the road to get away from the power lines, I noticed the neighbor’s soybeans glowing in the evening sun. This field is not quite dry enough for harvest. To add to the […]
Tuesday, September 2 This is a follow-up to last nights post. Shortly after Kristen brought the apple dumplings, I noticed a yellow glow outside and thought, “There must be a rainbow.” And this is what I saw from our living room window. It was one of the prettiest rainbows that I have ever seen. I kept walking […]
Tuesday, July 8 I was in a photo-taking mode (which is fairly normal) as we drove through Lititz to visit Cerwin’s mother. I was looking for “my” mules as we went around the backside of Lancaster Airport – and thought they were not outside – then I saw them in a different pasture. I never tire of seeing […]
I enjoyed an early morning walk around our yard a few days ago and thought you might like to see what I discovered. I found a few dew-covered spider webs. My first tomato is growing nicely. It looks like we will have more tomatoes this summer. Our ferns are full and beautiful. Daylilies in the morning sun. […]
Hilltop Fun Fest at Slate Hill Mennonite Church ~ Continued The release of 100 sky lanterns was the grand finale of the Fun Fest evening. The church is located on a hill and was a great place for releasing the lanterns. A group from the church sang hymns as the lanterns drifted toward the sky. I […]
The other night when the moon was bright, I went outside to get a picture. The position of the moon made it difficult to get a clear photo of it without being obstructed by tree branches. After I got a fairly good one, I realized that the moon would be pretty with tree branches in […]
Wednesday, April 9It was a cool, breezy evening, but the beautiful sky drew me outside. The sky was filled with interesting clouds. I walked to a spot ~ just a short distance from our house ~ where I had a good view of the valley and the setting sun. Then took pictures of what I saw. Yes, […]
I love to see the moon on a dark clear night. The moon phase calendar tells me it was a “waxing crescent” moon on April 1. 4% of it was visible and it was 2 days after new moon. Though the moon is ever-changing to our eyes with its waxing and waning, it is still the […]
because the Lord, the Lord alone, is an everlasting rock. Isaiah 26:4 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
The other morning I was drawn to the outside when I saw the yellow glow of the sunrise, but what captured my attention was the sun’s reflection on the snow. It looked like a pool of gold. That evening the sunset created more beautiful reflections on the late winter snow. I am grateful for eyes to see […]
I began working on bulk mailings in 1977. The Northeast Region was new then, and Director Melvin Mast and his wife, Joyce, were preparing to mail newsletters by using a bulk permit. My first job in their office was to organize addresses – on typed labels – in alphabetical order. On my first day in the office, the addresses were on […]
The sky was brilliantly orange on Thursday morning, January 9. The sun looked like a big yellow torch as it came over the eastern horizon. This dark-eyed junco kept an eye on me at I watched it eat breakfast. The evening sky was also a brilliant orange. I think God must have an invisible paintbrush.
