At a glance, winter might seem lifeless, but a lot is going on sort of “behind the scenes” which can be detected with a closer examination.

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭46:10‬ ‭

A very unique and almost eerie winter sun peeping through the fog one morning last week. 

Spiders are always at work, even in the “off season.” A close look reveals their webs. But with even a closer exam you will discover a bird in the pic. Anybody spot it?  We would have a “find the bird” contest but our prize warehouse is empty.READ MORE

Top Ten Posts For 2020

~ Everyday Living, Faith

Happy Thursday sweet friends! I hope the first week of the new year finds you safe and well. I enjoyed spending Monday with Queen EM and Princess EK. I have to put my running shoes on to just keep up. We played in the Sunshine Cottage, read new books, played dolls, put together a puzzle of the U.S., danced, ate popcorn and chocolate…just a little PJ spoiling. What a joy they are and we can’t wait to add a precious baby boy in May!

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3:22-23‬ ‭

We selected a few of our favorite pics from various Simple Southern Sunday’s of 2020. 

“Sunrise, sunset, swiftly fly the years…”
(From Fiddler on the Roof – 1964)

“May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭67:1-2‬ ‭

Many of today’s 2020 reflections are flowers and scenes from warm sunny days, but first…

…a snowy North Carolina day and a picturesque church! We love taking pics of churches but we found it a bit more difficult to do in 2020 as our travel was very limited compared to most years. And we all know why that was the case! 

Now, how ’bout something to warm us up and bring on dreams of days to come!READ MORE
