Don and I went to Old Salem. Buildings and gardens built by God loving, industrious people
that had a vision for all things beautiful. That place is good for my soul.
The weathered brick walls. I can imagine a woman wearing a bonnet,
looking out the window to see the local activities.
This back yard is a private residence. Don and I are getting Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17620534300952286611noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9167396366786926350.post-38390131660006218692012-02-29T09:08:00.000-05:002012-02-29T09:08:12.969-05:00His Grace
When I see beauty
and especially when I see an over abundance of it,
I think of God and His love for us.

Not only are the flowers beautiful and sweet smelling but they are bountiful. Just like His love.

I found this journal entry in our old vacation diary.
It's a record of when our family went to northern California,
Erin must have been about ... 12 years old she wrote in here about seeing the tide pools.

If you were to look at my counter you would see clutter.
I see hearts, it's my "thing". I saw this cord in the shape of a heart.
I had a moment of introspection.If you were to know about the clutter on my counter you would see it represents love haven been given to us.

The skinny black cord that is in the shape of the heart is part of a tag.

Normally, I will pack the day before I have to go so I am ready. But on that Monday we didn't need to be at the airport till noon so of course ... I had LOTS of time. Or so I thought.

The boys and I had a great morning. We got up and out early. The weather is wonderful, the beginning of fall is in the early, cool morning.
We drove to a great park. This park has a late 1800's theme to it. There are many wooden buildings with stairs to climb up, windows to look out, slides to slide down. There is a ship on the Mississippi.

It's amazing how the folks with the least seem to have the greatest hope. Maybe it's because they have ceased relying on themselves and have come to the point that their trust is in God, the Sovereign Lord who loves the unlovely and feeds the hungry.
The very same God that loves us .. the unlovely and us the hungry.
