CHERISH YOUR FAMILY | Laveda D. Rockford

When I woke up this morning, I heard about the tornadoes that swept through several states and the death toll is still rising. I am sure that those honorable people who come to assist are on their way. I have already seen posts from people asking for volunteers and releasing information of their organization willing to assist.

Indescribable devastation is the only way to describe the scene of damage those tornadoes caused. My heart and prayers go out to all who are suffering. If you are one of those who are dealing with the aftereffects of this horrible situation, know that you have a whole group of people praying for you. Praying for your comfort, care, and future.

Though tragedy happens, it cannot help but remind us of how important it is when we have the chance to be with those we love. This past Thanksgiving, I had the chance to spend it with a few of my Brothers. I cannot tell you how good it was to be with them. It should remind us of how important it is because you never know when you will see them again.

Cherish your family. Love those who are suffering and show them what Jesus Christ is about. Love. Through the Word of God, Jesus Christ told us to share that love with others. Love without thought. You never know who it will influence for the better.

God be with you!

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. I work full time, caring for the lawn, flower garden, and I am a painter of oil on canvas, as well as a writer and blogger. I am Laveda D. Rockford. 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...
