Fog On the Ohio



 As the sun rises
The fog on the Ohio
Acts as its curtain
~~~~~~~
On those glorious walks along the Ohio River, the morning is by far the most beautiful.  She offers so many surprises.  I just have to be open to them. 
~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!

Sunrise Inspiration


"Oh, Sunlight!  The most precious
 gold found on Earth"
Roman Payne

Sunrise for me is the most beautiful hope for the Day!  It begins in hope and becomes what we make it.  This to me is inspiring.

Thanks be to God!

Sunrise




When the sun rises
There is glory in all creation
Speculation entices
To spend the day in appreciation

My goodness, it's been ages since I sat down with my computer to compose a post.  No excuses.  Just lazy I guess.  You'd think after all these years I'd have a lot to say.  Well, the truth is, I don't  have a lot to say.  LIfe is good.  Now I hope to share at times how good it is to me.  As the sunrise above attests, it is beautiful and it is appreciated!

So, until tomorrow, I say:


~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!

Burst of Glory



A burst of glory
In the midst of the morning
Touches the deepest soul

~~~~~~~

It seems of late I've been drawn to the sunrise.  Can't tell you why.  Maybe it's because I find the early morning, even in it's quiet tranquility, an explosion of beauty can burst into my vision!  For that I am eternally grateful!

Christmas Is Coming




Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat,
Please to put a penny in an old man's hat;
If you haven't got a penny a ha'peny will do, 
If you haven't got a ha'penny, God bless you.

Yes, indeed, it's coming soon.  This song has always reminded me of those who have little or nothing.  And again it reminds me that our Savior was poor and had little or nothing but gave his all for us.  So, I'm reminded I should do the same.  Just when I don't think I have anything to give, I'm offered the opportunity to give. . .my time, talent, treasure, all.  What about you?
Saturday morning it was 54 degrees at 6:30 a.m.  Very rare here on the Ohio River Indiana.  It had rained overnight and so the clouds were parting to allow us the glory of this sunrise.  Another Christmas gift.


Every day I walk I walk past this prayer garden, and last week the manger was erected to the glory of God.  It is so lovely.

~~~~~~~~


 It's such a delight to walk in the neighborhood.  You just never know what surprises await you on any given morning.


~~~~~~~


And along the way we are reminded, by the children of the elementary schools, how we are to behave during this Holiday Season.  "Spread JOY not germs!!

~~~~~~~

Fantasy of Lights


~~~~~~~


It was a delight to drive through all the lights and decorations last week.  It certainly "brightens" the spirit and offers a bit of happiness in this time.  It is even better to know that all the funds raised go to Easter Seals and the treatment of those with handicaps.  It was nice too because the weather was so great.

All in all it was a pretty good week here

Clouds On the River




 When the sun rises and the clouds are walking on water.

The Sun
by Annette Wynne

Long before the postman comes
The sun begins to rise,
Far in the East if you should look
You'd find it in the skies.
At first it's just a streak of light
Then all at once the world get bright.



As I walked today I saw how beauiful it is to witness the presents of clouds come to earth.  Fog is often gloomy, so gray and thick.  But this morning the glory of the sun allowed me to witness the beauty of the cloud come to earth.


It's early in October and one doesn't expect the trees to change right away, but it does a body good to see that thay have begun to share their beauty with us.

Autumn offers us the opportunity to witness the beauty of the changes in the life of a year.  There is a glow from the trees that is just breathtaking.  And yet this is just the beginning.

Florida Sunrise



To say I had a wonderful time in Florida would be an understatement.  The best part of the adventure was the time I spent with family!  You can never spend too much time with your kids and grand kids.  Again, life is good!

Glorious Sunrise



Sunrise sunset, sunrise sunset, 
Swiftly fly the days,
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,
Blossom even as they gaze.

Sunrise sunset, sunrise sunset,
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears.

by 
Jerry Bock and Sheldon Hamick

~~~~~~~
I awoke this morning to a beautiful sunrise!  Sunrises always fill  me with such wonder and awe.  And when I see one it gives me such hope.
~~~~~~~

Sun begins to glow
So early in the morning
It lifts up the soul

Happiness and joy
From the Creator's palate
Offer quiet morn

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks to be God,

Cathy

After the Rain


Sunrise after rain
Morning dew upon the grass
Misty morning joy


After the rain fell
Blossoms appear to have wept
Not in sadness, joy

Sunset to Sunrise!





I have found when writing this post that sunrise and sunset are really treasured gifts.  It makes no difference whether it a sunrise or a sunset.  No difference because they are both glorious creations of God our Father.  And gratitude should be given at the beginning and the end of each day.

Sunrise and sunset
Beauty in reds and oranges
Glorious jewels

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!!!

Sunlit Sunday





“How sweet the morning air is! See how that one little cloud floats like a pink feather from some gigantic flamingo. Now the red rim of the sun pushes itself over the London cloud-bank. It shines on a good many folk, but on none, I dare bet, who are on a stranger errand than you and I. How small we feel with our petty ambitions and strivings in the presence of the great elemental forces of Nature!” ― Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories, Volume I
Love this quote written by one of my favorite authors.  Wishing all a beautiful Sunlit Sunday!!!

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!!

Pleases stop by and visit Karen at Sunlit Sunday.  Stop by and offer your bit of sunshine today.
