Feeding Time

During my afternoon on the lake this family of loons enjoyed some time on the bay swimming together and fishing.

  

 From crayfish to fresh fish, we were privileged to watch as the parents brought food to feast with their baby.

Our God also shares the fruits of His labours with us. As His family we can enjoy all of the gifts given to nourish both body and soul.

Loon Lesson

Loons are known to stand on water as a means to dry their feathers. While watching adults perform this act with grace, it is the baby's attempts that drew my attention.

Just like children learn from their parents, we too need to learn all that we can from Our Father.

Rare Gems

The daisies and delphiniums are in bloom.

Lightly touched by God's loving raindrop embrace, these flowers glistened.  Like diamonds on the petals, the raindrops are a rare gem to be admired. 

It Was a Ducky Day

Loving Rain

My God loves me so much that He brings rain to remind me of his omnipresence.

From the impact craters created when a drop hits the lake, to the rebound, these photos of rain drops landing on the lake are a gift from Him to all of us, with love.

The Promise

As this sunflower follows the sun each day, it has been preparing it's offering for this summer.
Gently and slowing, it is unfolding it pedals to reveal the promise of a tasty treat for humans, birds and chipmunks alike.

God also unfolds his promise to us, each day, gently and slowly, but always faithfully.
As He is faithful to us, should we not also return the promise in faith, love and joy?

A Little too Curious

He may be just a little to curious and just a little too tall.
My daughter's cat is visiting us for a couple of weeks. Today, as he surveyed the house for the first time, we learned just how tall he is and how dangerous his curiousity has become.

Sweet Delights Made Sweeter

What better way to keep the delights of this morning's labours, then to perserve them as jam?
When the cold of winter locks us into its grip, we can stir memories of the gift of a warm summer sun in these jars of jam.

I wonder what other delights the Lord has in store...

Pflücken

It may sound like a swear, but 'pflücken' means to pick in German, and pick we did.

This morning, as the sun rose in the sky attempting to restore warmth to the earth below, we trekked to a local berry farm.  There, surrounded by fields of strawberries, we sat in silent admiration of the glory of the morning and the offerings of the earth.

How great is our God to make available to us this sweet delight!

Light and Shadow

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. Genesis 1:3

We are commanded to be light in this world to others. Light allows us to see the work of God in this world. Light allows us to show others this light.

With light, there is also shadow. Take time to look at the shadow side and discover more of the beauty that  the Lord has prepared for you.
