Follower Appreciation







This post is to say thank you for following me. It is the time of year that most gardeners are able to spend time in their gardens. Here are a few photos of the flowers that I planted the past couple of years.

The Path | Laveda D. Rockford

Image
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...

A New Garden Feature | Laveda D. Rockford

  A New Garden Feature Labor Day: a day set aside for special recognition of the workingman, or in this case, woman. In other words, it is a day to reflect on all of the work a person puts into their vocation. Though I have the day off, I still had to mow the lawn around my flower garden. And since I purchased a new garden feature, I had to post this about it. Purity is an especially important word in the Christian faith. The words purity and purify can be used interchangeably. Purity: the quality or state of being pure Purify: to grow or become pure or clean To honor our journey through this thing we call life, here is the new art feature in my flower garden. Life is what you make of it. You can make something good out of it or you can continue on the path that you have laid for yourself. It is all up to you. But if you decide to follow Jesus Christ, and pick up your cross and follow Him, it is a whole other life that, in the end, is well worth it. I pray that your L...

Convergence of Stars a Precursor? | Laveda D. Rockford

Image
  Photo of the finished ornament the I made for my daughter and her husband. Christmas, 2024 Laveda D. Rockford Convergence of Stars a Precursor? | Laveda D. Rockford During this season we know that the sounds of joy filling the air could fall flat upon the ears of those suffering unimaginable sadness. What can we do to ease the pain of so many? Do we let them wallow in self-pity? Or do we share what we know to ease the pain? Each Christmas is no different than the last since I have been alive. We celebrate the love of God. While God watched with saddened, darkened sky, His own son die, we know that His birth was celebrated with a distant star shining bright in the sky. Guiding those who, for decades, watched. A convergence of stars in the heavenly realm to announce His birth and our deliverance. Did I say Deliverance? Yes, deliverance! Though Roman domination was not toppled for years to come, the devil lost his grip on the human soul. We gained communion with God Hims...
