“I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34:1‬ ‭

’”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 ‭


I never tire of this bucolic view!

“I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!’”

  1. 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!

  4. 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!!

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  13. 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:)
