That is a beautifully framed graphic, Meg! Thank you. (I wish I had a garden bed full of pansies.)

Have you ever heard the Legend of the Pansy? (There are several - but this one is so comforting to me....)

“Over 2,000 years ago on a desolate hill, a 33-year-old, innocent man was put to death. He used his last breath to ask forgiveness for those who persecuted him. As he nodded and silently slipped into eternity, a solitary tear fell from his eye and onto the parched ground below. A withering weed, struggling to survive at the foot of the cross, was touched by the tear. In an instant, it was transformed into the most beautiful of all flowers — the pansy.

“Since that day, the pansy has been favored by many, not only for its upturned face but also for its ability to withstand even the harshest weather conditions. The pansy continues to remind us to keep our focus turned toward heaven and that through Jesus Christ, we also have the strength to overcome even the darkest winters of our lives.”

What a beautiful Legend..Who does not love pansies?..Pansies make me smile.

[MEG33]

PS..Thank you for the nice compliment on my frame..Me, too..I don’t have enough sun for a bed of pansies in winter..There are some gorgeous plantings around town. Prettiest that I can recall..

I will have to take a picture of my driveway... Plowed 2 times yesterday, have to do it again today but all that on top of what we had... Just too much.

We leave for Ft Jackson early Tuesday and return Friday on my B day. Great present, watching my son graduate basic training.

[MEG33]

I am so happy you are going to watch your son graduate..My gratitude and congratulations to your son..
My sympathies on all that snow!

Your Sunday Post is So Beautiful, Dear Meg!

(((((((Hugs to All FRiends)))))))

You Made All the Delicate, Inner Parts of my Body,
And Knit them Together in my Mother's Womb.
Thank you for Making me So Wonderfully Complex;
It is Amazing to Think about.
Your Workmanship is Marvelous, and how Well I Know it.
You were there while I was being Formed in Utter Seclusion;
You Saw me before I was Born,
And Scheduled Each Day of my Life before I began to Breathe.
Every Day was Recorded in Your Book.

(Ps.139:13-16)

A Blessed Lord's Day to Amy's Place

I didn’t know that story of the pansy - very moving, and pansies are my very favorite ‘winter’ flower - how anything can show such a bright, happy face when covered with snow is amazing. I alternate the flowers in the pots at my front door - geraniums in the summer & fall, and pansies in winter & spring.

It's Lunchtime

And then ...I need a nap!
Wishing you a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

And a Blessed Lord's Day to you, Meg!
