Welcome to my garden

There are so many jewels in my garden... rich soil, flowers, veggies and herbs, birds, butterflies, hummingbirds, ladybugs, seeds sprouting, the sound of the water fountain, but the best jewels are family and friends when they join me in the garden and share in the peace and beauty of what our Heavenly Father has provided me with. So many jewels, so many blessings. Julie +: )

Stay calm and head to the beach...

~with Michelle, Nathan, and Megan~
De-clutter your mind of plans,
schedules,
and "to do" lists.
Instead,
 look out upon the waves,
wiggle your toes in the sand,
absorb the sights, smells, and sounds,
and enjoy the moment for what it is-
not what it means,
not what lies ahead,
not how you arrived here.
There will be another time for that.
For now,
just be present with Him.

  6. All your pictures are great and you can feel the peace and fun especially of Michelle & the kids, but that first one of Megan needs to be blown up and hung on the wall!

  7. I agree sis. The room that was dad's room which is now the grandkids' rm is "under construction" and my plan is to make it a kid's beach room. That picture would go perfect!!
