“Thus says the Lord: ‘Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord’”
Jeremiah 9:23-24 “Perfect submission, perfect delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight; Angels, descending, bring from above, Echoes of mercy, whispers of love”
Fanny J. Crosby
“As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.”

This old barn really resonates simple and Southern! Autumn in the North Carolina mountains! “I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the LORD!'”

“But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life”
Romans 6:22
Barbecues…fireworks…parades…hot dogs…picnics…lemonade…concerts…home-made ice cream…grilled burgers…swimming…baseball games…family reunions…boating! This is how we will celebrate America’s Independence Day (often referred to as the 4th of July) in little towns and big cities across our beautiful land! Red, white, & blue will be the colors of the day, and being with the ones we love will be the highlight of our long weekend. While it is a fitting time to celebrate the independence of our great nation, let’s be reminded of the ultimate freedom we have–in Christ!
I hope that you all enjoy the July 4th inspiration from my Pinterest board, Summer Dreaming. Each picture is linked to the original source!

“Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!” Psalm 139:23-24 “The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star, and reaches to the lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled, and pardoned from his sin”
-Frederick M. Lehman
A lovely church with English Tudor style architecture! Unusual sunrise with a misty fog on our pasture!A red barn-always demands a photo!Little birds on the loropetalum outside our dining room window! Can anyone identify them? Deacon is so proud of his new friend, Mr. Turtle! This beautiful old two-story mansion (near our home) was built in 1842. Five thousand acres were purchased from the Cherokee Indians for the plantation! Risotto with asparagus, Black Forest ham, mushrooms, and parmigiana-Saturday dinner at home! The world-renowned Fox Theatre was originally conceived in 1928 as a Shriners’ headquarters! Quickly it was sold to William Fox (movie mogul). The 3,622-pipe Moller organ was the crowning addition when the theatre opened its doors on Christmas Day in 1929. Butch and I have attended several plays and concerts in the splendid movie palace. However, the most memorable concert was taking my Daddy to hear Johnny Mathis with a full orchestra performing a Christmas show in the storied Fox!! New York City’s got nothing on our little downtown hotdog stand! Miniature log cabin completely handmade by my late uncle!We love sharing our week in pictures with you on Sundays!
“I was glad when they said to me,
‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!’”
