A Girl and an Umbrella

33!

God has filled my life with so many blessings.

I hope to get better at recognizing and appreciating them.

God has filled my life with so many graces.

I hope to get better at using instead of squandering them.

The Price....

"Soul-pain is the price of conversions.........

.....If you want to win souls for Christ, you must be willing to endure the anguish for sin that sinners do not experience, in order to win at least ultimately the grace of repentance for them.

You may have to go through the agonies of delayed hopes for many hearts, and even seeming failure at the end, for someone whose soul has been your deep concern.

But your sincere devotion to bring a soul to Christ will not be in vain. God knows the secret  workings of his grace in souls."

True Humility

"If you are filled with a sincere reverence for everything pertaining to God and your neighbor, you will not appropriate to yourself more than is your due. This is true humility."

Feathered Friends

The children have been discovering so many nests this spring, and have been having such fun making friends with all of the little hatch-lings! 

Finding and feeding them worms......

.....even giving this sweet little fellow a helping hand as he was learning to fly!

I love that they are able to experience all of this.

Some of the many blessings of living out in the country.

Miss Posy's favorite lilac bush (where she has her pretend outdoor home) has two nests in it!

(~It is a good thing that Alfred the Gray-t  has been off adventuring lately.

We are hoping that they will escape his notice.)

Life has been very full these past few months.

Full of so much living.
