Sooo pretty, Meg. Thank you.

OH no! The sore throat was the beginning of a week of the flu and then head cold!

Loving our weather....warm sunshine and blue skies.

Blessings to all, today.

I hope to nip it in the bud by getting some sleep today and taking care of myself.

[JustAmy]

Happy Spring, indeed.

Here's a poem from my twin brother...

Spring has sprung

Fall has fell

The grass is rized

I wonder were dem birdies iz.

May y'all have a blessed Spring!

I've been watching my neighbors plum and prune trees. Bees, wasps, birds and butterflies have been gathering nectar and seeds.

What a great sight to watch!!

Read: Matthew 25:14-21

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” —Matthew 25:23

Bible in a Year:
Joshua 7-9; Luke 1:21-38

Vivian and Don are in their mid-90s and have been married more than 70 years. Recently Vivian suffered a setback when she broke her hip. This has been additionally difficult because for several years both Don and Vivian have been saddened by the realization that they are no longer strong enough to be active in the life and work of their church.

However, Vivian and Don are still hard at work for the Lord: They are prayer warriors. While they may not always be physically present and visible in the life of their church, they are faithful “behind the scenes” in their service for Him.

The parable of the talents in Matthew 25 reminds us that we must use the “talents” God has given us wisely. All of us have God-given skills and abilities at various levels—and we must not bury, unused, what God has given us.

It is not only in our years of strength that God will use us, but also in our youth and age, as well as in our sickness and weakness. Vivian and Don continue to serve by praying. And like them, we honor our Savior by using our skills—“each according to his own ability” (v.15) to serve Him who is worthy.

Lord, You have done so much for me. Please show
me what I can do to serve You—to honor You with
the abilities You have provided. May my life be a
living sacrifice of love and action for Your honor.

God can use you at any age—if you are willing.

[JustAmy]

LOL .... Happy spring, DD. Your twin brother diz the poet.

I love listening to and watching the small workers in spring. Since the almond trees are no longer blooming seems that the bees have found our place. :)

A couple of days ago called for hazard pay for anyone venturing outside. Better now that the bee keepers have picked up all the bee boxes.

Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.

[JustAmy]

Happy spring, Mayor. Thank you for all you do.

Have a Blessed Weekend.

Graphic by Billie

When strolling through the garden,
If you should chance to see
A ladybug out walking,
Please say "hi" for me!
For ladybugs are good bugs,
They help the garden grow
They will bring you good luck,
So always say "hello!"
