“He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not…
…surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted…
…but he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed…
…all we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”
Isaiah 53:3-6
A interesting English-style home in our historic district!
Big brother Steven didn’t want to have his Easter pictures taken, but John David and Charlotte didn’t mind! Aren’t they so adorable in their matching outfits?!
A prayer garden…so very peaceful!
Perfectly seared fresh red snapper with fregola sarda, roasted peppers, and grilled onions!
I found a rusty garden ornament!
Yesterday was a gorgeous day to enjoy the water wall in our downtown!
Spring is so welcomed with blue skies and green leaves! I think it’s finally here for good…hopefully no more frosty mornings!

Kim, it has been a gorgeous weekend! Have a wonder-filled week, sweet friend!
Querida amiga Pam, siempre hermosos los post dominicales que dejan el alma serena.
Hoy especialmente mi alma está inquieta porque, aprovechando la celebración especialmente importante para todos los cristianos, los secuaces del Estado Islámico han atentado en una iglesia copta egipcia habiendo 36 muertos de los fieles que allí celebraban la misa.
Es un problema muy importante el que los yihadistas estén empeñados en aniquilar cristianos. Mi alma llora…
Que Dios nos proteja.
Con cariño Dolores
Dear Pam, always beautiful post Sunday that leave the soul serene.
Today especially my soul is worried because, taking advantage of the celebration especially important for all the Christians, the followers of the Islamic State have attacked in an Egyptian Coptic church having 36 dead of the faithful who celebrated the mass there.
It is a very important problem that jihadists are determined to annihilate Christians. My soul cries …
May God protect us.
With affection Dolores
Dolores, mi corazón está tan perturbado por la persecución de los cristianos de todo el mundo. ¡Es un mundo muy triste en el que vivimos ahora! ¡Pero en una nota más brillante, servimos a un Salvador resucitado! ¡Bendiciones y abrazos, dulce amigo!
Dolores, my heart is so disturbed over the persecution of Christians around the world. It is a very sad world that we now live in! But on a brighter note, we serve a risen Savior! Blessings and hugs, sweet friend!
I so agree! Heartbreaking to see all the persecution of Christians ! I do believe these are the end times and for all of us who believe in God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit !! We shall have a GLORIOUS EVERLASTING ENTERNITY ! PRAISE GOD !
The pecan trees are fully leafed so that is a good sign we won’t have any more frosts. Lovely images today. Happy Birthday to Butch.
Bonnie, I didn’t know that the fully leafed pecan trees meant no more frost, I have never heard that!
I always love these posts. They help center me, no matter whether I look at them on Sunday morning or evening. There’s still time to wish you a joyous Palm Sunday.
Thanks sweet Jeanie…please take care of yourself!
