321/365 Harvest

Ahhhh corn on the cob. Looking forward to August when the local corn will be ready.

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.  James 3:17-18

320/365 Morning Dew

We went for an early morning bike ride and when we got home at 7am the sun was shining across the morning dew. I took this photo into the morning sun.

By his knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth,
      and the dew settles beneath the night sky. Proverbs 3:20 

(which I thought  appropriate for my 320th shot)

319/365 Brown Eyes

Had the gang for lunch after church today.
This little guy was just too cute. It is nice to take photos of little people now and then. I just don't have enough of them around me yet... but that's changing. I can think of one that will get photographed a whole lot when she finally arrives.

"Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.  Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it." Luke 18:16-17

318/365 Printer

My good old, trusty HP Photosmart 8450 stopped working today. It was trying really hard, but it just can't pull the paper anymore and I finally gave up trying to 'fix' it when the 18th piece of paper hit the recycling box.
I love this printer. It has served us well printing numerous excellent photos over the years as well as school reports, assignments, papers and all the stuff home schoolers use. It has printed my recipe's, daily devotions and much music and overheads for church. It has worked hard.
But it is time for a new one.

Today's scripture.....

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Matthew 6:19-21

317/365 River

Rivers run into the sea, but the sea is never full. Then the water returns again to the rivers and flows out again to the sea.  Everything is wearisome beyond description. No matter how much we see, we are never satisfied. No matter how much we hear, we are not content. (Ecclesiates 1:6-8)

Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty. ¹⁴ God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad. (Ecclesiates 12:16)

316/365 Faded Rose

The grass withers, the flower fades,
   but the word of our God will stand forever. (Isaiah 40:8)

315/365 Lamp Unto My Feet

Your word is a lamp to my feet
       and a light for my path. (Psalm 119:105)

314/365 Hosta

My Hostas have been really enjoying all this rain.
Unfortunately so have the weeds.
And the mosquitoes.
Which is why I haven't dealt with the weeds.

It all makes sense, really.
 Todays Bible Verse:
Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain,
       and a path for the thunderstorm,
to water a land where no man lives,
       a desert with no one in it,
to satisfy a desolate wasteland
       and make it sprout with grass?  Job 38:25-27

313/365 Electicity

It is a good thing to have a son-in-law who can change light fixtures and electrical plugs. Of course we have to feed him, but it is still a good deal.

The first plan tonight was a garden shot.... until the mosquitoes attacked en force!!
I retreated.
I think it was a good idea.

Todays scripture:
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."  John 8:12

312/365 In the Morning

We packed a small breakfast - coffee in a thermos for him, rooibus tea for me. Then we biked to a pretty lake close by and sat, talked and shared our little meal. It was a beautiful morning. It was quiet, the sun was shining, just the sound of the fountain and each other.  Love this man!

Todays Scripture...

In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice;
       in the morning I lay my requests before you
       and wait in expectation. (Psalm 5:3)
