Backyard in July

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; For the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. Psalm 116:7 KJV

I hope you are enjoying your summer. Do you have a to-do list you’re working through? I have several projects I need to finish before starting another. But alas, you know it doesn’t work that way. A to-do list is like a to-be-read list. You keep adding, and it keeps growing. So try not to work too hard. Take a break and enjoy the summer.

I found this quote and thought it was the picture of July here in Georgia.

Nothing compares to the backyard during the summer.

Friends and Enemies

/ Gail Johnson / 6 Comments

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. (Matthew 5: 43-45 KJV)

A New Song

/ Gail Johnson / 6 Comments

O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth. 
Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. 
Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. 
For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. 
For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. 
Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. 
Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength (Psalm 96:1-6).

Baby girl brought me a bouquet of tulips this past weekend. I wanted to remember their color, so I decided to get creative. What better way to give glory to the Creator!
