Good Morning, Dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! It seems like this dry weather and blowing winds have made the pollen count high, so people are sneezing and blowing. Even the weather man on TV was indoors instead of his usual place outside. Fortunately, it has not bothered me, yet. My yard crew came just as I finished sending this blog yesterday and they blew the blanket of seeds up against the house and under the azaleas, which had just been cleaned out by my handy man. Guess I will have to speak to them about that. What we need is a good rain to settle things down. And, since I mentioned I had no worms in the trees, yet, I think I spoke too soon. As I walked out in the front yard, one was dangling from a sticky string right in front of my face! Oh, No!
I went shopping at Disston Plaza yesterday, and if it had been later in the afternoon, I would have stopped into Little Italy for a slice of pizza, but it was too early..Sigh. After I finished shopping, I headed for home and stopped in at the Park. Everything was quiet and peaceful, with a couple dozen cars . School was not out yet, so it was not very busy. I saw turtles sunning themselves on the bank of the weir, and a couple ibis pecking around. The azaleas are still blooming and pretty. God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
There is a time for everything,
a season for every activity under heaven,
A time to be born and a time to die.
A plant to plant and a time to harvest.
A time to kill and a time to heal.
A time to tear down and a time to rebuild,
A time to cry and a time to laugh,
A time to grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a time to turn away,
A time to search and a time to lose.
A time to keep and a time to throw away,
A time to tear and a time to mend,
A time to be quiet and a time to speak up,
A time to love and a time to hate.
A time for war and a time for peace.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving,
joy and love!
Love and hugs,
Amaryllis
