’”Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise, and to know, “Thus saith the Lord!
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er;
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! Oh, for grace to trust Him more!”
Louisa M. R. Stead
“My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together!”
Psalms 34:2-3

Wow. Katy has a true eye for photography. Her picture is stunning, caught at the perfect moment, angle, lighting…all of it is gorgeous. It’s no wonder you had to stop for a picture of that sunrise. It’s beautiful. This is our time of year for the prettiest skies! The Lord is the best Painter of beauty He provides in our world! Sunday blessings~
Kim, I love,the winter skies…so many pretty sunrises and sunsets! He is the Master Artist!
Wow to Katy! And I’ve never seen a coral bark Japanese maple, beautiful! Have a lovely Sunday Pam!

Thanks Jenna! I had never heard of a coral bark Japanese maple, but I love seeing it in my winter garden!
I can’t decide on my favorite! So good! Your praise and use of works are so uplifting. We have been in a freeze since December 8th. 19 deg this morning in OR. But the sun is out!
Lynn, that is a lot of cold weather…stay warm and enjoy the sunshine! Thanks so much for your sweet encouraging words!
Hoy te has superado en las imágenes que nos regalas. No podría elegir cual de ellas es la mejor porque todas son muy hermosas. El invierno también se viste de gala y nos proporciona una gran belleza. La sonrisa de la niña es muy hermosa.
Me encantó todo!!

Your Sunday posts are such a great way to use some of those photos that are beautiful but don’t necessarily fit into usual subject.
You are right and that was exactly my thoughts …thanks Linda!
All of it is so beautiful. So serene. (And I might add, no snow.) Such a perfect place to gather one’s thoughts. A wonderful place to find a moment of peace.
Thanks so much Marsha, our temps have been in the 70’s for a week now!
Virginia is a beautiful little girl and then that capture of the river in the last photo is breathtaking! 🙂

Thank you, Jan …have a great week!
Hi Pam! This is my first visit to your blog. I am a southern girl as well. Let me rephrase that…I am a military raised girl traveled and lived all over but who ended up in the south and love it! There is so much beauty in our southern skies as evidenced by the last photo in your post. Looking forward to reading more of your blog:)
