This morning as I reflect
on the change of seasons
I think of the different people
Who have come & gone in my life
Taking root like new spring plants
Blooming like summer flowers
Ripening like harvest fruit
Resting like snow-covered trees
Just as the circle of seasons
Is vital to renewed life
I accept
I give thanks for
The seasons of my own life. (unknown author)
It is an extraordinary & beautiful thing
That God, in creation ... works with the beauty of matter
The reality of things
The discoveries of the senses
All five of them
So that we, in turn
May hear the grass growing
See a face springing to life in love & laughter
The offerings of creation
Our glimpses of truth. (Madeleine L'Engle)
Most of these pictures are on our road that we walk
The heavens peaking thru
A touch of color here & there
Our precious little Miss T ...

May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times & in every way. The Lord be with you all. 2 Thessalonians 3:16

Everybody should just make a conscious decision to be happy & to have a good day - every morning. It's easier to be happy than angry. Anger uses up a lot of energy that could be used for SMILING.
The trick is to figure out a way to live within your means, & want what you have, not what you want.

~ Realizing ~
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
As you slide down the banisters of life may the splinters never point the wrong way.
~ Friends ~
The best kind of friend
is the one you could sit on a porch with,
never saying a word,
and walk away feeling like
that was the best conversation you've had.

Stronger Than Before
"Broken wings take time to mend,
Before they learn to fly again.
On the breath of God they’ll soar,
They’ll be stronger than before.
Don’t look back into the past,
What was fire now is ash.
Let it all be dead and gone,
The time is now for moving on."
~ Janny Grien
Portion of her song lyrics

Life is like a flower, it grows from a seed, blossoms into a precious bud that opens into a glorious bloom ... that one day will fade away.

~ Friendship ~
Friendship consists in forgetting what one gives & remembering what one receives.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

The higher a monkey climbs, the more you see of its behind. (Joseph Stillwell)
Don’t speak to me...
... about your religion; first show it to me in how you treat other people.
Don't tell me how much you love your god; show me in how much you love all his children.
Don't preach to me your passion for your faith; teach me through your compassion for your neighbors.
In the end, I'm not as interested in what you have to tell or sell as I am in how you choose to live and give....
Cory Booker, Mayor of Newark, New Jersey

~ Life's Mirror ~
When the mirror of life reveals our backside.....our past....do we smile and reveal the love and blessings of Christ? or do we hide amongst the pain that pulls us down?

Such beautiful pictures and meaningful words to go with them! Our Autumn colours were at their full peak a few days ago but after a very strong wind two days ago, the trees are starting to look pretty bare now.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of Tatiana as well, playing a sport she truly enjoys:) My next door neighbour's daughter, Amanda, who's 12, plays soccer as well and she really loves it.
Hope your weekend is a wonderful one my friend. xoxo
So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing as I also take a moment to reflect on my seasons I wish for the seasons to slow down. I want to hold things a little tighter.
It is so important for us to reflect and be grateful. You have wonderful scenery on your walk....
ReplyDeleteMarydon, Autumn takes me back in my mind...to when my mother was still with us. She loved fall. I miss my parents and all the loved ones that have gone on before us.

Looks like a beautiful walk with lots of loveleigh scenery! My Man Cub is playing soccer too. I am not a big sports fan and thought I would be bored but they are actually funny to watch when they're that little! He really loves it so hopefully he will keep playing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures! We are still waiting for the change of seasons here in Orlando, would love a little cool weather. I always get a little melancholy in the fall, I think it is partly due to it getting dark early, yep a time to reflect!
