A Glimmer of Hope or a Hope That is Full and Sure
Sometimes hope in a person or something concerning an earthly situation is like this sunset. There is only a glimmer of hope. But hope in God is like this sunset. Full and sure.
Christmas Blessings from Church
Last week our church’s Christmas Fruit Packing Committee put together 26 grocery boxes… …30 one-peck fruit baskets… … 60 half-peck fruit baskets and 27 poinsettias.

Ordinary but Beautiful
In our area House Finches, Amish Carriages and House Sparrows are ordinary parts of our day, but if you take time to look and enjoy, they are beautiful. House Finches at our suet. It is not unusual to see an Amish carriage go by our house, but open buggies are not as common. Looks cold, […]

What a Fabulous Way to Say, “Good Morning, God.”
~~~ Wednesday Morning, December 1 ~~~ I think God knows we need pretty sunrises now and then. The sky lightened as I moved my camera to the southeast. It lightened even more as I faced south. A pretty sunrise and cold morning air certainly has my brain alert and alive.
Amish Manure Spreader

When the Evening Sky is Orange
~~~ Sunday Evening, November 28 ~~~ My first view of the setting sun was from behind our pear tree. I went outside and walked around the tree to get a view of it unhindered by branches and leaves. I liked this view as well – from behind another tree where this angle gave me a […]
