God hears. . .

even when it is just a whisper of the heart. . .



Have you ever felt like your prayers weren't getting any higher than the ceiling? That you really didn't even know what to pray for.




I know I sure have. . .and then I remember that He knows the longing of my heart even before I ask. . .He also knows the best answer. . .Thank you, God, for hearing and answering in the way You know is best. . .God bless you, dear friends, as we trust in Him!

As I work among my flowers. . .

I find myself talking to them. . .

reasoning and remonstrating with them. . .



and adoring them as if they were human beings. . .Much laughter I provoke among my friends by so doing,






but that is of no consequence. We are on such good terms, my flowers and I.~Celia Thaxter







I have always said you have to really love to garden to garden in Texas with our 100 degrees plus temperatures and virtually no rain. Nevertheless, I continue to water faithfully and enjoy my garden each day. I feel so close to God in my garden.

For my daddy. . .

He was a man's man. He loved fishing. He loved sports. And most of all, he loved his family. He was very proud of being able to support us. I remember one time mother suggested that she might get a job to help out financially. My daddy said absolutely not, that he could take care of his family. He was the finest man I have ever known or ever hope to know. He was daddy to my sister, Myra, and I, "Pop" to his grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, and Dibb to his friends. He took care of my mother night and day for ten years when she was ill with Parkinson's Disease. That is just the kind of man he is. I love you, daddy!

I have two sons with families of their own. They are both wonderful daddies carrying on in the tradition of Pop. God bless our daddies everywhere and Happy Father's Day to them!!

Tender mercies. . .

this is what God gives to us each day. . .



He longs for us to show those same tender mercies to one another.




Who's to say a smile from a stranger or a gentle outstretched hand is not the act of an angel in disguise?
