Right In My Own Front Yard




Today I join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday.   For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live.  God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.

Joy comes in many forms.
And this day has the potential of
being just as grand as
celebrating the beauty in
all that surrounds me.



must be open to it!
~~~~~~~~~~
                                   
The Glory of Fall
It is all in the colors
And the joy it brings

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!!!

  1. What grand and glorious color you've captured, Cathy. Here, a few leaves are hanging on to maples and oaks and dogwoods, but they're looking pretty bedraggled. The color is tired now. We're reverting back to the muted, winter shades of evergreens and the way they stand out in relief against a gray, rainy sky from November to March or so, when the deciduous trees assert themselves again.

  16. So beautiful Cathy! I do hope you'll participate in the Gratitude Quilt this year… information about what it is and how to participate can be found @ this link http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/p/gratitude-quilt.html

    If I already asked you and you sent me something, please forgive me for asking again. I'm trying to reach as many people as possible. I don't use last names and so when I look at the quilt so far and see the same first name more than once I'm not certain if it was from you or someone else with the same name.
