O Taste and See

O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is he that trusteth in Him (Proverb 34:8 KJV).

I enjoy being outside around God’s creation. Especially during the early morning hours when the world is quiet. When I focus on my Creator I can’t help but create.

One morning, I captured the sunshine just as it peeked through the trees. What a display of colors!

Early morning light

Filters through the trees

Creation beckons

Come, taste and see

—

The Lord’s faithfulness

Around you displayed

Mercies unfailing

Hope for this day

Blessings

Bouquets of sunlight

Dancing in the breeze

Autumnal blessings

I’m not sure where the flowers came from. I didn’t plant them. They appeared one autumn.

Since then, I’ve enjoyed them every September.

But this year?

Ah, this year…

I needed them more than ever, and God didn’t disappointment me.

Remember the vacation I spoke about in September? Well, it was anything but a time of rest.

However, that’s for another post. Today, I want to revel in my blessings.

Happy November, dear friends!

What seasonal blessing are you enjoying?

Fire by Linda Rodante

Fire by Linda Rodante is the third and last book in the Warfare Series.

In Fire, a friend from the past joins Reese and Katie in their fight for freedom and justice. Together, they face their hardest battle as they go head to head with gang leaders and unseen forces.

Patriot is a man hiding from the past. When a friend is threatened by a leader looking to reorganize his old gang, Patriot must come home to protect those he loves, including Chloe Swearingen.

As an ER nurse, Chloe doesn’t have the time or energy for a relationship. After saving a gang member from drowning, she is caught in the middle of a war and a relationship with a marked man.

This is the third and final chapter of this series, and it was well worth the wait. While being introduced to new characters, the reader becomes better acquainted with old friends from the previous stories. The emotional side of this story was relatable. Through the lives of her characters, the author showed love, compassion, and prayer can truly make a difference. I think it’s Rodante’s best!
