We’re smack in the middle of summer but I will pause and count my blessings this season. Our arid Arizona days have turned into monsoon rains and we are refreshed. Triple digits are put on hold for a while and cooler desert mornings allow me longer hours of yard work, especially after the messy, wild storms. We’ve always grown hollyhocks, but for some reason, they went dormant the last two years. I remember Tom on his sickbed reminding me to water the seeds he planted near the fence and, like a crazy lady, I watered what seemed like empty dirt all last year. Was he confused, maybe? Come spring I saw the fluffy, green leaves sprout all along the fence line. I got excited when the different colored flowers opened. You never know what you're going to get! As I watered, I thought of the Scripture verse about “calling forth that which is not as though it was.” Hmm, I should apply that one to several areas of my life! I spent last week with family in Tucson.
Not the bottom one.LOL...Have a great weekend sister Mary! God bless. Love and blessings to ya.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your love dear sister on my blog. I'm trying to visit with a few more dear sisters this evening before signing off of blogging until June 29th. Love to you and your family.
I only work on Fridays and Saturdays sister and though just part-time, a lot of drama goes on at work, enough for me to write something in my blog. Glory to God! I just want to pop over to pray that may the Lord be with you as you go to work tomorrow. And may you have a blast celebrating Father's Day with our Father and your hubby!
ReplyDeleteI'm also praying for the Lord to guide you with your decision regarding your plan to remodel your BR and the hallway! LOL.
Sister Mary, I'll bring cookies on Sunday and we'll put our feet up as we praise the Best Father! Love you sister and thank you for your sweet, encouraging comments, prayers, everything!
