Scenes from the Country - No. 11

Last night's full moon as seen from my backyard!

 

Here's a Heart Rock for your Pocket:
When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers- the moon and the stars you set in place- what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? Psalm 8:3-4

Scenes from the Country - No. 7

Just a reminder that no matter how different we may think we are from the people around us, those we work with or those we see on TV, we all have one thing in common.

Here's a Heart Rock for your pocket:

There is one body and one Spirit - just as you were called to one hope when you were called - one Lord, one faith, one baptism: one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4:4-6

Wishing you God's best,

Scenes from the Country - No. 4

This may have been one of the most gorgeous sunsets I've ever experienced. We were leaving Yosemite National Park at this moment and pulled over to watch it. It was glorious! I wanted to share so that you could enjoy it too.

From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised. Psalm 113:3

Scenes from the Country - No. 3

We took a day trip to Arkansas over the Labor Day weekend with family and here's a snapshot taken at Little Missouri Falls. I was standing up to my chest in icy cold water when I took this and was loving it.

Playing in the river makes you feel like a kid no matter what your age may be.

Here's a Heart Rock for your Pocket:
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; 
And through the rivers, they will not overflow you...
For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior..." Isaiah 43:2-3

Scenes from the Country - No. 2

I snapped this on my way out to work one morning. The mist was still hanging and the sun rays were pushing through. It was such a perfect moment that I just had to stop and take a few pictures. Before I knew it, I was backing up traffic. Yes, I'm not the only one who lives in the country here!

Here's a Heart Rock for your Pocket:
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and 
broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-14

Scenes from the Country - No. 1

I'm beginning a new series today entitled Scenes from the Country, in which I'll share snapshots of the life around me, wherever that may be. 

This first photo was snapped in my backyard. I absolutely adore sunsets, as I've told you before and will probably tell you again. It's that point in the day when things begin to get still and quiet and all the stress and busyness starts to fade away. It reminds me that no matter how crazy life gets there is still order in the world. The sun still rises and sets regardless of my circumstances and God is still in control. It helps me regain perspective. I'm not the center of the universe and life doesn't revolve around me. It's not about me. Who knew? :-)

Here's a Heart Rock for your Pocket:
The Lord will give strength to His people; The Lord will bless His people with peace. Psalm 29:11

Wishing you God's best,
Elaine
