THEY ARE ESPECIALLY BEAUTIFUL THIS YEAR
I GUESS AFTER ALL THAT SNOW, THEY ARE EVEN MORE PRECIOUS
Today when I got off from work, I called Norman to see if I needed to hang around in town and help with the grandchildren this evening.. (but their Mom was off, hey, but I did ask and offered)Anyway, He had me to run up to where he's been helping his friends for a few minutes.
Well, on the way up there I passed a ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WISTERIA.. (and it's one of our favorites) It was so full that it looked just like a tree! And the blooms must have hung 8 to 10 inches long each. You know, they hand in clusters sort of like grapes... and AH, they smell "heavenly" We had a beautiful one were we did live, but the people that live there now cut it all down and burned it : { I wish I would have brought it with me, and I would have if I would have only known that they were going to destroy it. "Shame on them!" : / what was they thinking?
But there is nothing I can do about it, and isn't "hindsight" is always just "to late". No sense dwelling on it, for sure! But, this one today was so pretty.. brought back many memories!
Thank You God for the precious memories!

THE BEAUTY OF SPRING
Daffodils, lilies, and wisterias,all dot the valleys below;
Daffodils, lilies, and wisterias,all dot the valleys below;
Such a beautiful and welcoming contrast, to the past winters snows.
They cheer, they re freshen the spirit, as we walk by;
Their blossoms fill the flower beds,
and bring gladness to those who linger nigh.
A new season of fresh color,
A new season of fresh color,
a new season for Hope and Life;
God's power, ever moving,across the landscapes,cheery and bright.
An early morning shower,the birds dancing in the rain;

And now, let the weak say I am strong
Let the poor say I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done, for us
And now, let the weak say I am strong
Let the poor say I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done, for us
Give thanks, Give thanks

Tomorrow is Friday already! I for one am glad. I am ready for the weekend...
TO TOP IT ALL OFF SATURDAY IS OUR 40TH ANNIVERSARY!
So far we don't have anything planned, but I wouldn't mind even if we just sat here and watched his ole westerns TOGETHER! WHATEVER as long as we are TOGETHER!! Boy time does fly!
Thankfully, I have got in a few more hours this week than I was scheduled for, and will get in another extra 2 and 1/2 or 3 extra hours tomorrow.Lord's willing! It has just really been an extra BUSY time at work lately. Again I will say, I do appreciate my job (wish we were a little more appreciated) but I am sure that you know how that goes. But it don't stop me from being thankful for my job. Pray please for Barb and I that we will SOON (somehow) be offered full time with benefits.. (WE BOTH HONESTLY GIVE 200% AT WORK.) Thing is, "full time for us is against all odds" but then nothing is to big or to small for GOD to do! And if it is HIS will, HE will make a way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength
For each new day
He will make a way
He will make a way
