Monday...


Feeling the full effect of Monday this morning, this how I started out at work.  The stress headache I had finally subsided by the afternoon.

On the way home this evening I saw the most vibrant rainbow I have ever seen.  It reminded me of Noah and how God took care of him and his family and how He takes care of His own to this very day.

~For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.  Romans 15:3-5~


Here's wishing you a terrific Tuesday!

God bless and keep you,

Simple Pleasures

We tried out a new mini-golf course, for us, today.  It was very warm, but there was a breeze blowing that helped out with the heat.

We bought cold drinks to top it off, on the way home.   Audre had a chocolate shake, Dave had a Dr. Pepper and I enjoyed a strawberry shake.  Yummy!


Here are some new additions to my flower garden.

The Angel Wing Begonia is beginning to bloom.

Here is the first Asiatic Lilly.  These are in a pot, and we have others that are much taller along the house that haven't bloomed yet.

The Tiger Lilies are blooming too.

David started some roses by seed and they have come up.   We even has tiny rose bud on one.


Just a few simple pleasures from today.


That's all I have for now.

Until next time...  

God bless and keep you,
Sonia

Finally Friday...

Well, it is finally Friday.  Thank goodness!

I should probably sign off and go to bed as I have to get up to go to work in about six hours.  But... you know I'm a night owl and will be up for bit more.

I have a short work day today, as I am taking a 1/2 day of vacation and will be leaving at my lunch break.  It won't be all fun and games though, I have to take care of some business.  It will be nice though to get it done then have the rest of the afternoon off.  :)

The week has gone fairly quickly which has been a blessing too.

I've had heavy burdens on my heart this week but I have a peace deep within, knowing God will see me through.  I don't know how I could stand under the weight of it all without Him.




Here's wishing you a fantastic Friday!


God bless and keep you,
Sonia

Wonders

I saw a road runner on the way to work this morning.  It ran across the highway at top speed.  It seems there are small wonders all around us, if we just notice.

Speaking of wonders, I was able to get some pretty pictures from the top of Magazine Mountain, last weekend.

Recently I heard that Google Reader will be gone soon.  So I have added a Bloglovin' button on my sidewall to connect with my blog, if and when Reader goes away.  I like the Bloglovin, because you can get a summary of updates in your email and are able to view the blogs easier.  Check it out and post the button on your blog too, so that you won't loose readers.  :)

I guess that's all I've got this evening.  

Until next time,

A special jewel in his crown...

Good morning,
Last night we received a call that one of our church members passed away.  As I understand it, it was sudden and not expected.

He was one of those people who made you feel welcome, each time you met him.   A rare person, indeed.

Every time my family would meet him, he always had a smile, and a warm handshake.  When he asked how you were doing, he meant it.  He always had a way to bring your spirit up, when you were feeling down.  He was always there to lend a helping hand.

He will always have a fond place in my family's mind as being genuine, always ready with a smile and a care in his heart for others.   

His name is Bill Pugh.   I believe Bill is now in heaven, smiling bigger than ever before and is singing louder and more joyful than we can imagine.  I also believe the simple kindness that Bill showed while on this earth will give him a special jewel in his crown.


To all my prayer warrior friends, I know you are already praying for the Pugh family and I thank you for that.   If you would like to give Bill's wife, Betty, a few words of encouragement or send a prayer to her, please let me know, either by email or through Facebook and I will make sure she gets them. 


God bless and keep you, 
Sonia
