Thanks Conor and Sapphire is beautiful and doesn’t look like she has missed many meals. (something my hubby would have said)....I did venture out to post office and grocery store. After you get out of my neighborhood, the roads are just fine!

That looks a lot like my brother’s dog, Starla! That graphic is beautiful. I’ll be back after while, must put away the groceries...( just had to go out)! I looked on my calender and had appt. with dentist tomorrow at 1:30 and that is my hair appt. and I didn’t go last week and I need a haircut really bad, so I told the girl at the dentist ofc. about my dilemma and she changed the dental appt. until March. What a relief! Why is there always so much to do? They used to tell me i could slow down after the kids left home....LOL!

Tell It All
Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. —Psalm 62:8

A clerk who helped me purchase a small digital voice recorder told me that he kept one just like it in his car when he worked in California. “When I began driving home after work I switched it on,” he said, “and I talked about everything that happened that day on the job, good and bad. When I pulled into my driveway, I hit the erase button.” Then he smiled. After telling everything to his voice recorder, he apparently had no need to go over the day’s problems with his wife or family.

It reminded me of how often I needlessly rehearse my disappointments and problems to others instead of telling them to God. The psalmist wrote: “Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us” (Ps. 62:8). Twice he spoke of waiting silently for God, his rock and salvation (vv.1-2,5-7).

While there is great comfort in sharing our difficulties with a friend, we miss the greatest help if we fail to bring them to the Lord. Joseph Scriven said it so well:

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

No matter where we are, Jesus is only a prayer away.

Bible in One Year: Leviticus 23-24; Mark 1:1-22

Thank you, Meg. I didn’t have any idea I would post more pictures with snow, but since it snows here everyday, might as well use the snow when I can!

Have hair appt. today and need my hair cut so bad. I didn’t get to go last week. I will call her and she will work with me on the time. Later, we are supposed to get above freezing so I hope this will leave quickly but as of this moment, driveway and my street is literally covered. So glad I went to post office and store yesterday.

Graphic by Billie

TIMES TOGETHER

The times which we have spent together,
Seem like seconds, not years;
Although our times have been happy ones,
Still, we both manage to shed a few tears

How the tears came about to be,
May be anyone's lucky guess;
It is one of life's little mysteries,
That has turned into, a sad mess

Our loves strength together, has helped us,
To keep us going strong;
It is through sharing these times,
which proves, our love is not wrong

We will continue to go together,
down the many roads of life;
Helping each other everyday,
in every way, to overcome our daily strife

Whenever we stop to look back,
we will at once be able to see;
That the years of love and life we shared,
Were just always, always meant to be

~Gerry D. Eggleston~

JC, what a stunning graphic! There is one snowflake that stays right on the eye of the jay and flashes. It lookes like he is alive - right here in my livingroom!

Beautiful!

Mornin’ Amy.

It’s pouring down sunshine again today.

Had occasion to drive through the countryside yesterday and the almond orchards are in full bloom. Beekeepers have placed hives in several orchards I observed.

Also have several pretty yellow flower in bloom out in the front yard. I guess I better put some weed ‘n feed down to get rid of those dandilions. :)

Good morning, DD.

It’s pouring down fog here. :)

School buses were cancelled this morning. We take Marissa to school but we took her late. Classes were delayed for one hour. Marissa went to class an hour later. If she had stayed home, it would have been excused but I decided an hour late was better than no school. The fog is starting to lift but still not safe on these country roads.

The almond orchards here are starting to bloom but not in full bloom yet. Lots of bees around ... we don’t have hives but we get enough bees to pollinate our trees. :)

Wishing you a Terrific Thursday.

Thanks, Jaycee. Today’s sweet Opening is a rerun from July 17, 2008.

It is such a sweet graphic and the poem is great. I thought no one would mind a rerun. :)
