No More Worries...

"Pray, hope and don't worry.  Worry is useless.  God is merciful and will hear your prayer."  St. Padre Pio

I will surrender it all to Him who hears me.

A view of the Gulf of Mexico from our beloved beach rental in Galveston.  I love waking up early to catch the sunrise on a cloudy sky.  Adds so much more color.  God sure paints some beautiful skies around here.  

This week's roses.

April 16th, 2012

 Sweet neighbors that give us beautiful plants they don't need anymore!

The seeds...

""A sower went out to sow his seed.  And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path and was trampled, and the birds of the sky ate it up.

 Some seed fell on rocky ground, and when it grew, it it withered for lack of moisture.  

                     Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.

And some seed fell on good soil, and when it grew, it produced fruit a hundredfold." After saying this he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear.""    

Luke 8:5-8

Hope took the top two pictures.  She has a gift!!  I took the bottom two.  Love my hipstamatic app!!  Have I said that already???  

A Fruitful Day...

"A good tree does not bear rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit.  For every tree is known by its own fruit. for people do not pick figs from thorn bushes, nor do they gather grapes from brambles.  A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good, but an evil person our of a store of evil produces evil; for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks."  Luke 6:43-45

We are desperately trying to grow strawberries this year.  Every other year, they are eaten by something before we get to them.  So far so good!!

Gratitude!

"I have waited, waited for the Lord, and he stooped toward me and heard my cry.  He drew me out of the pit of destruction, out of the mud of the swamp; He set my feet upon a crag; he made from my steps, And he put a new song into my mouth, a hymn to our God Many shall look on in awe and trust in the LORD." Psalm 40: 2-4

These were my Nana's.  They now sit in my son's room.  She was a wonderful grandmother!  I took this shot with the hipstamatic app on my iPhone.  My favorite phone app...EVER!!

Pondering...

"Withhold not, O Lord, your compassion from me; may your kindness and your truth ever preserve me."  Ps 40:12
