BEING A BLESSING | Laveda D. Rockford

 


BEING A BLESSING

My objective in closing out the year 2021 is to excel at one thing or another in 2022. One of my objectives is associated with the word blessing.

According to Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary, defines the word blessing as,

bless˖ing  n. 1 a : the act of one that blesses   b : APPROVAL. ENCOURAGEMENT   2 : a thing conducive to happiness or welfare   3 : grace said at a meal

Many people know how to be a blessing and say a blessing, but a few people do not know how to receive a blessing and if they receive a blessing, do not know how to acknowledge it for what it is.

So, my prayer for us in the year 2022 is:

In 2022 may we,

·         be a blessing

·         learn how to receive a blessing and acknowledge it for what it is

·         continue to say the blessing

This is my prayer for everyone around the world. May 2022 be a blessing for all of us in one way or another.

God bless and Happy New Year!

With love,

Laveda D. Rockford

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. (Proverbs 4:18)   The Path My days are filled with work.

My Mother, her doctors say, is in stage four cancer and has been since 2015. However, we are blessed that she can still do a lot of things on her own. In fact, I took her to see my brother in Texas and she will be staying with him for a while. Her next injections are not until later this month. I have not had time to write even though I have started my third book. The publisher that I contacted to publish my second book gave me an estimate but when I was ready to pay, they did not contact me again. I am wondering about this as I do have the funds and would like to begin. If you know of a publisher that is interested in a Christian novel, please send me the information so I c...

Ready For This | Laveda D. Rockford

  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.

Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford

  Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford I am trying my best in the heat of early summer to complete my flower garden borders. I have been working on this vision for almost two years and have finally reached a point where I can show you and you can understand. The newest section will contain a small patio area with table and chairs surrounded on one side with Buxus as a screen of privacy. Burgundy Plum and Cherry trees, as well as Sand Cherry and a few tulips will welcome spring weather. Then Iris will rise up until they burst into their beauty. Purple, yellow, and a burgundy and white combination. Oh, what a delight. Late spring into summer, Yarrow (Achillea) rise higher and throw on their crown of flowers acting as a forerunner into summer’s beauty. Phlox, Whirling Butterflies (Gaura) purple Salvia, Shasta Daisy, Hydrangea and Clematis all vie for attention in the summer sun. The Rose of Sharon, single and double, tree and bush, will bring forth their beaut...
