Welcome sweet friends! I hope your October is off to a delightful start!

“Forever, O Lord, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; you have established the earth, and it stands fast.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭119‬:‭89‬-‭90‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

The days are still warm in our Appalachian Foothills, but I am anticipating cooler days, leaves changing colors, warming up by the fire pit, and roasting marshmallows with our grands! The nights are now pleasant and the angle of light in the early morning and late afternoon is magical this time of year. Change is in the air!READ MORE

““Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I had to get out early and take in another September morning as October was just ahead. I stood at the pasture’s edge and was once again, for the millionth time, overwhelmed by the Creator and His creation. No two days are ever exactly the same. Never have they been, and never will they be. As I walked away later, I thought of that Neil Diamond song, “September Morn”. I always liked that song. He sang “September Morn, we danced until the night became a brand new day”. Now we didn’t dance that long, so I was able to be up at first light as September was coming to a close!READ MORE

Happy October friends! I rarely post on Wednesday, but I couldn’t miss the opportunity to welcome my favorite month!

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.”
‭‭Numbers‬ ‭6‬:‭24‬-‭26‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

The Sunshine Cottage porch welcomes October with a few new friends that have gathered!READ MORE
