It is a beautiful thing to see a deaf person pray.

Gardeners in Peace

I discovered hymn 640 recently and have really enjoyed the words. It is a hymn for gardeners - and we were all meant to be gardeners :)

For the Beauty of Meadows

For the beauty of meadows, for grandeur of trees,
For flowers of woodlands, for creatures of seas,
For all You created and gave us to share,
We praise You, Creator, extolling Your care.

As stewards of beauty received at Your hand,
As creatures who hear Your most urgent command,
We turn from our wasteful destruction of life,
Confessing our failures, confessing our strife.

Teach us once again to be gardeners in peace;
All nature around us is ours but on lease;
Your name we would hallow in all that we do,
Fulfilling our calling, creating with You.

I love my brother!

My little brother just graduated - and I am so proud of him!
I love and respect him for many reasons and want to always cheer him on through life's journey.
I love you Nathan!

Delights of Spring

This particular spring has seemed more lovely then I had remembered the season could be... perhaps because I never saw spring last year because I was in Brazil.

Life framed by spring is beautiful thing.

Asparagus, mushroom & wild onion toppings for alfredo noodles :)

A wonderful reason to pull off the road :)

Child-proof

My hands fumbled with the odd plastic encasing on the closet door.
Her tiny impatient hands reached up to help - quickly snapping it off;
"Here! I'll just take it off for you - so you can open the door!"
