  Expecting Beauty It is the time in this season when you walk out into your flower garden and see things growing. Some are small beginnings but soon will be tall, glorious, plants or flowers. You notice that the trees are starting to fill with their lush greenery and bushes are starting to bud. Some have already completed their spring flowering, each in their own time. Your eye is following the ebb and flow of this season and that gives you joy of what will follow. Summers lush, delightful days. Here are a few photos of my flower garden. Some of the flower buds are about to burst forth with their purple wings flying through the air delighting my senses. I know there are a lot of terrible things happening in our world but sometimes you have to go outside and look for beauty to ease the mind of sacrifices that so many are experiencing. Give your heart a little peace and look around for something beautiful. If at least for a moment of relief. Always expect something beautiful to happen

  Trust, Persevere, and Hope There are so many sad things happening in the world today but we, who have the ability to show kindness and love around the world, should not stop doing what is important. So, this post is about things that are dear to my heart. First of all, I would like to remind you and those of you who do not recall that my Mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. Cancer is a terrible foe. My Mother was 73 years old when she was diagnosed and after chemo, surgery, and radiation, I am happy to say that she is still with me. She turned 82 years old this year. It was not easy but the thing that kept her going besides our faith in Jesus Christ was her ability to look ahead to the future and laugh a lot with her sisters. On Saint Patrick’s Day in 2015 she had one of her Chemo sessions. We wore long, shiny, paper wigs. They looked like they were made out of confetti paper, you know the type that I am talking about, the shiny paper. Well anyway, she wore a green

  Ready for This Winter is shortly coming to an end, When spring colors do appear, What wonderful sights you see in shrubs and trees, Flowers of white, red, and yellow, with leaves of green, Shouts the joys of the spring, Singing loud before summers day, Oh, it is a wonderful day, When the earth wakes from sleep. © 2024 Laveda D.

  New Year 2024 and War It has been a very difficult year for many. Wars and rumors of war are all the rage. What small-minded people start wars? Those who hate, those who have nothing more to do than find fault in innocent people living in freedom. Freedom is not free. Freedom was paid for from the backs of those who care enough to fight back against the darkness. I do not believe in war; war shows how far we have come from kindness and the ability to live with each other whether we have differences or not. It was not very many years ago when we lived in kindness. Have you forgotten? Differences define us. I believe in Jesus Christ, does that make me bad? No, that gives me hope for the future. If you do not believe in Jesus Christ, does that cause me to try and destroy you? No! I try to respect everyone no matter what they believe. It does hurt my heart when I hear someone use the LORD’s name in vain, but it is more of a sorrow for the person because I do not think they understand
