"...You, O Lord, are in the midst of us..."

O Lord,

my strength and my stronghold,

my refuge

in the day of trouble...

Jeremiah 16:19

I love the small glint of a rainbow between the clouds. This picture was taken in our backyard in March of this year. "...you, O Lord, are in the midst of us..." Jeremiah 14:9

"Take Refuge in Him"

I cry to God Most High,

to God who fulfills His purpose for me...

...God will send forth

His steadfast love and His faithfulness.

Psalm 57:2-3

...take refuge in Him..." Psalm 64:10

"The Blessed Trinity"

O my strength,

I will sing praises to you,

for you, O God, are my fortress,

the God who shows me

steadfast love.

Psalm 59:17

These Easter Lilies are in our front yard garden. The way the flowers are stacked and because they are Easter Lilies I saw the symbolism of the Blessed Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

This is an Amarylis from our backyard garden. I love how the scarlet red shimmers in the afternoon sunlight - it adds so much beauty and is one of my favorite additions to the garden. Thank you Tamra and Randy for sharing your garden "charms" with us!

"Daily Miracles"

Hope in the Lord both now and forever.

Psalm 131:3

Yesterday, while I was too busy to notice the beauty around me jabo noticed this beautiful, amazing rainbow that occurred after only a few sprinkles of rain! We could not take our eyes off of the rainbow as it seemed to get more intense in color with each passing second until finally it disappeared. Without jabo I would have missed this most precious gift from God. I am reminded that sometimes it takes someone else to show you the wonderful things happening around you...thank you jabo!
