Dependency

There are those times

When one must rely on help

Thanks be for that help

~~~~~~~

For the last several weeks I've been incapcitated.  It was elective surgery on my foot and I  had to stay in bed for two weeks.  Darned if that isn't really hard!  But now I'm up and at 'em.

Thanks be to God!!

Reflect seriously on what you desire to do; above all 

pray much that our dear Lord may make known 

to you what he wishes you to do.

The River Is Up

The thaw has begun and with the rain we've 

had the river is at flood stage.

The walk to the river.

When the Ohio is up the steps to the river are gone.  This will return!

The barges seem so much closer and the ducks have free reign.  The park is under water. so the ducks even seem closer.  For what it's worth I am really glad I live here on the Ohio.

Thanks be to God!!

On the Sea ofGalilee

To be on the shore 

Of the Sea of Galilee 

At the Master's feet

~~~~~~~

I remember the day we were there so vividly.  It was windy as it must have been when our Lord calmed the  waters.  It was sunny, the sky was clear, unlike the storm but a bit frightful.  Oh, the beautifiul legacy we have as brothers and sisters in Christ.

Thanks be to God!

Icing In My Backyard

When we woke up this week to the results of an overnight ice storm it was clear we were going nowhere that day and for the first time in a long time not because of COVID-19.

Mother Natures artistry was on display with all her ice sculptures.  And my fine feathered friends seem no worse for wear.  Making sure they are fed is a top priority.

 Finally,

Happy Valentine's Day

A Cardinal Event

Card'nal red

In the midst of icy glare

Sign of hope

~~~~~~~

This gentleman brightened my day yesterday as we were again confined to home, not because of pandemic but because of the weather.  Though the ice is lovely to see it is Mother Nature's reminder that she is in control and you have to follow her rules.  We were  fortunate that we did not lose power but we were nonetheless careful and followed "Mother's" rules.  Yes, we did!

Powdered Sugar Snow

So this is the sum total of our winter snow this winter. . .Just a dusting and so many others are experiencing so much more.  It's almost embarrassing.  So today I wish all well!  

It's cold but this is the first moisture we've had that wasn't rain.  

There was nothing to shovel.

 And the holly stands tall

So much for the winter snow we've had so far and it's alread February!

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!

The Sun Still Rises

Glowing through the fog

Reflecting on the water

The sun arises
