March Musings - Day 9

I walked outside this evening, and the most refreshing cool air hit me. It washed over me like the moonlight shining through a cloudy sky.

I can sense in the air the coming of spring. The air feels lighter, different, and while it's still cold, it isn't the bitter winter cold. The moonlight is flooding every nook and cranny as if to say, don't lose hope! Spring is on it's way! Sunshine is coming! Sunshine and a warm day for a walk sounds absolutely wonderful, yet at the same time, snow and bitter cold do as well. I'm looking forward to clinging to the last fleeting days of this winter before embracing the warmth and rain of spring. I love each season, despite the rain or snow or shine. I love the moon, the way the cool beams flow over the shadowy trees and then arcs around as if to make a giant smile. I love the way the stars twinkle in the winter. Soon my favorite starry friends, the Pleiades, shall bid me adieu until next time. Yet in the spring, we can spread out a blanket and star gaze sans mosquitoes or picnic in the moonlight!

Two verses regarding the sky come to mind:

"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork."

Psalm 19:1 (ESV)

(The sky is so beautiful tonight!!)

"Like a moon it shall be established forever, a faithful witness in the skies."

Psalm 89:37 (ESV)

(This verse always comes to mind when the moon is out and I'm with John...the first time he said I love you in person was under a golden moon...talk about sweetness!)

Enjoy the end of winter nights...soon they will be gone, so grab some cocoa and a good book, or popcorn and a movie. Soon the spring nights will be here, ready for walks and star gazing, campfires and smores!

Blog Neglect = Rambling Post

I stop doing a series and poof! I disappear from the face of the blogosphere. I'd start another series but I havent decided what yet ;~) I could bring back one of my old ones but I'm still not 100% yet so I'm not sure how consistant I'd be. Hmm....

I can always do one of those thinking, feeling, and so on posts! :~D

So without further ado!

Right now I'm...

...enjoying a spot of tea on the sunroom porch!

...wearing my fantabulous new apron which I'm madly in love with!

Throwback Tuesday: By the Christmas Tree!

Sometimes during the Christmas season, you need something special to wear to a fancy fete! A dress like this always does the trick. Especially if it has roses and sparkles! It's also a good dress for a bit of dancing around the Christmas tree or under a star-filled sky! This is one of my favorite vintage dresses as it twirls deliciously! Heehee!! 

Sometimes.......... (a poem)

Sometimes.

Sometimes we're strong.

Sometimes we fly.

Our faith is so strong, we touch the sky.

Sometimes we're fearless, cheerful and brave.

Sometimes we serve with a smile and a wave.

Sometimes.

Sometime we're weak.

Sometimes we fall.

Our faith is so weak, we cry over it all.

Sometimes we're fearful. upset, and scared.

Sometimes we leave with sadness and wish we could care.

Sometimes.

Sometimes we remember.

Sometimes we recall.

God is higher than it all!

God is with us, 

he will not forsake us, 

his power is mighty, 

and we are his.

He will always be there when we fall.

To him we can turn when we're upset at all!

God is mightier than the world combined,

because he made us,

because he loves us,

because he cares.

Sometimes.

Sometimes we forget. 

But God's still there.

His arms are open, and his smile is fair.

He's waiting for his precious child to come.

He's ready for his precious child to say, 

"God, you are the one."

Flower Blossoms!

The blossoms were so pretty yesterday, I just had to take some pictures! So we went for a walk after Church. :~)

This one ^^^^ looks like a painting!

 I love this one! ^^^^

And some tulips :)

The girls had fun on our walk!
