Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Wednesday, February 12 Nancy wanted to find a special spot for my birthday breakfast this year ~ and she surely did. The Inn is old, delightful, and elegant. We were given a few choices of table locations – and because it was a cold morning, chose the fireplace. The hostess was preparing for a large group for […]
let the earth sing with joy; let the distant islands celebrate. Psalm 97:1 (The Voice)
Saturday, February 8 My first gift of the day was the delivery of this beautiful bouquet of flowers from Clair (my brother) and Kate. They were beautiful – and stayed that way until my “real” birthday celebration the following weekend. Thank you! Thank you! Our grandson Josiah stopped in to give me a birthday hug, and […]
satisfy us with Your kindness. Then we will sing with joy and celebrate every day we are alive. Psalm 90:14 (The Voice)
It began on February 7 and lasted until February 18. Now that I am into the last day of this marathon, I feel a bit like it has been a biblical jubilee and as of today I am in need of a biblical fast. 🙂 I will begin that tomorrow. 🙂 My birthday celebration began at Jere and Kristen’s […]
sweet to the taste and good for your health. Proverbs 16:24 (Good News Translation)
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma High
Wednesday, February 5 It was a bit late (like half a year) but we finally got together on dates – just in time for her half birthday. 🙂 She chose T.J. Rockwell’s. Rhino Fries are a must when taking a grandchild to this restaurant. The menu description says: A Rockwell’s tradition! Put on your seatbelt for this giant […]
who designed and perfected our faith. He endured the cross and ignored the shame of that death because He focused on the joy that was set before Him; and now He is seated beside God on the throne, a place of honor. Hebrews 12:2 (The Voice)
Pictures of the ice around our house on Wednesday, February 5. This is the beauty we woke up to the other week. Of course, it always gives concern for wires and branches. Everywhere I looked there was incredible beauty – designed by ice.
Strength and joy are where he is. 1 Chronicles 16:27 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
Tuesday, February 4 More pictures from our walk through the building where all the outfitters were advertising their hunts. Taxidermy fascinates me. Maybe it’s because I get to look at these beautiful animals up close. Cerwin considered going hunting here this fall, and had talked to the guys on the phone, so he was looking forward to […]
1 Corinthians 13:13 (The Message)
Tuesday, February 4 We left home about 9 a.m. to head for the show at Harrisburg. It was an especially beautiful drive – after about eight inches of snow the day before. This area was breath-taking. Cerwin was interested in finding the outfitters, but along the way we stopped to admire a wall of trophy racks. […]
But if you’re content to be simply yourself, you will become more than yourself. Luke 14:11 (The Message)
More pictures of the snow from Monday, February 3. By the time the snow stopped, we had about 8 inches on the ground. I felt bad for the birds, because every feeder was covered with snow. The suet was popular as it remained free of snow. Just before lunch, I decided to fill a large, […]
living within you as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love. Ephesians 3:17 (Living Bible)
Monday ~ February 3 Our crepe myrtle bush shortly after 9 a.m. Notice how much heavier the snow is just over an hour later. It was so much fun to photograph this snow. It’s been a long time since we had a snow this heavy and pretty. Because everything was covered with snow, there were […]
and see the day fill up with good, Here’s what you do: Say nothing evil or hurtful; Snub evil and cultivate good; run after peace for all you’re worth. 1 Peter 3:10-12 (The Message)
Sunday, February 2 dawned beautiful, clear, and cold. It was one of those mornings when the sunrise seemed to fill the entire sky. No, I didn’t turn the camera upside down. Within half hour of sunrise the clouds began to overshadow the sun. After church we noticed a large flock of black birds in the […]
and sincerely worship him; think of all the tremendous things he has done for you. 1 Samuel 12:24 (Living Bible)
It was a beautiful, calm day in southeastern Pennsylvania as we awaited snow (again) later in the week. I had trouble eliminating any of the sunrise pictures because of the glorious coloring. There must be salt on the pickup truck tires. This squirrel was there for several minutes licking the tire. We have juncos in abundance […]
serve him, hold tight to him, back up your promises with the authority of his name. He’s your praise! He’s your God! Deuteronomy 10:20-21 (The Message)
Seriously – I had a wonderful day full of relaxation and good wishes. Last night we were at Jere and Kristen’s for supper – as it is also Josh’s 19th birthday. We just got home from Dienner’s Restaurant where Roy and Deb treated us to supper. There will be more celebrations next week, so I […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma
only a smidgen on the scales by the reckoning of God. He can pick up entire islands as if they are grains of dirt. Even if we had all the resources of Lebanon —all of its trees to burn for fuel, all of its animals for burnt offerings— How could we think that we’ve got […]
January 30 & 31 were quiet, cold, beautiful, winter days at our house. It is fun to watch and photograph birds on winter days. The last sunset of January.
Colossians 3:12 (Good News Translation)
Wednesday, January 29 Our day started by taking a large TFC mailing to the Lititz Post Office. I was delighted to see the mules (Amish farm) as we traveled from the post office to where Cerwin’s mother lives. I haven’t seen them since last fall. Arriving at the retirement community. My view of a sitting area […]
it is the normal Christian life, and it affects everything, including how we live in community and how we treat others at home. Ephesians 5:21 (The Voice)
