IT’S SPRING | Laveda D. Rockford

I spent the morning cleaning out the flower beds. No, I am not done yet. There are so many flower beds at the farm that it will take me a couple of weeks to do it all since I have a full-time job. It lifted my spirit when I noticed a new little flower easing out of the ground.

 


I am not going to tell you what this is until it blooms.

Of course, the daffodils are in bloom. Take a look at the photo. The bright yellow daffodils with a dusting of sunlight shining through from the background. Beautiful!

 


I noticed the Sedum was growing quite nicely. The fresh look of little green leaves growing up from the dark brown fertile Missouri ground. I thank God for the bountiful beauty this ground gives us. This year, it gave me something to think about. That the world is still turning, moving from season to season, and more flowers are bound to arrive.

It took me a while to decide to post this on my blog because of everything happening around the world. We, here in America, have rising gas prices, rising food cost, which causes our cost living increase. As we are experiencing these life situations, there is a war going on around the world that is overwhelming to our eyes when we see the photos of so many hurting people. My prayers and heart go out to everyone that is experiencing anything out of their control. May God be with you!

With Love,

Laveda D. Rockford

Thanksgiving Thought | Laveda D. Rockford

  Thanksgiving Thought During Thanksgiving, most people gather to share stories of their year and greet each other with great esteem. While Thanksgiving is not celebrated around the world, I wanted to tell those of you who will be gathering with your families this Thanksgiving to please remember to say a prayer for those people who are having a very difficult time. Though we, as humans, sometimes think that our little part of the world is the most important, we have to realize that there are difficulties the world around. Many people do not have money to fill their tables with a bounty of food. Other people do not have the money to go and see their family. Thank goodness for the modern capabilities that computers give us. We can see our family on Thanksgiving Day if time allows.   Then there are those who have lost loved ones this year, or years before this and are having a difficult time adjusting to the news or accepting the challenge to continue to live. In honor of your loved

I Live For Freedom | Laveda D. Rockford

  I Live For Freedom As you know, I have been on vacation. It began on Monday morning in Missouri, and we arrived in Maryville, Tennessee that evening. The Lord graced us with beautiful sunshine every day that we were there. The first day we drove into the Great Smoky Mountains, around curves, up mountains, and into valleys all green and yellow that introduced the early autumn season. The beauty of it all gave me a piece of awe that you can only get when you know the love that was placed into such a sight as this. This is where my Cherokee ancestors lived. While there, I had the privilege of visiting the Museum of the Cherokee Indian in Cherokee, North Carolina. Between June 1838 through March 1839, approximately 16,000 Cherokee were removed from their tribal lands and relocated to Oklahoma. It is said that approximately 4,000 Cherokee died. My Great-Great Grandmother was six years old when she walked this trail. Her Mother, my Great-Great-Great Grandmother, was one of those 4
