Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ This is how Deb, our youngest daughter, her husband, Roy, and Cerwin spent many days of the last few weeks ~~~ None of these photos are mine – most are from Deb and Cerwin’s cell phones. Some may have come from Roy’s cell phone. They may not be in perfect order, but it will […]
~~~ Monday, December 13 ~~~ Words not needed for this post.
~~~ Saturday Evening, December 11 ~~~ I was looking forward to the evening because we had never seen Servant Stage and it is always fun to be with these old friends. Servant Stage was performing at Lancaster Alliance Church near Lancaster. They began by singing 12 Days to Christmas, Winter Wonderland, I’ve Got My Love […]
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.
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. Many church members signed up to deliver food and fruit baskets or poinsettias. I took the pictures when I went to pick up the three half-peck boxes we chose to […]
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, […]
~~~ Sunday Afternoon, December 5 ~~~ Following a make-your-own taco salad lunch and a Now-You-Have-It-Now-You-Don’t game for the Myers’ family, we invited the rest of the family to stop in for a dessert bar. It was bound to happen in our large family of 44. Due to logistics and schedules, we will have a second […]

~~~ Saturday, December 4 ~~~ My sister and her girls (daughters and granddaughters) have a cookie-baking-day each December. We are delighted to be one of the beneficiaries. Oh, yum! I put them in the freezer so we can enjoy savoring one at a time with morning coffee.
~~~ Thursday, December 2 ~~~ They left Tennessee early Thursday and arrived here about 12 hours later – a normal drive from their house to ours. These pictures are from the next day when we took them to Texas Roadhouse in Palmyra for their 2021 birthday celebrations. They love to shop at BB’s near Schaefferstown […]
~~~ 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.
~~~ Monday, November 29 ~~~ We had gone to Roy and Deb’s (one hour south of us) to help with some changes they are making in the property in preparation for his mom to live in a large travel trailer on their property. On the way home we saw this scene. I am not sure […]
~~~ 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 […]
