Beautiful Tulips and the Nice Words

"In the stillness of the morning,
Before a busy day of care,
How sweet to be alone with God
Through His holy Word and prayer."
-Anderson.

tulips in our garden last spring 2011.

The Quote

"I have an old nature that noisily clamors
To satisfy empty desire;
But God in His goodness has sent me a Helper
Who whispers, "Your calling is higher."

-Gustafson.

Beautiful Quote!

The value of work is not measured in material or financial gain.
It is on the part of you that goes with what you have done.
Your work defines you.
Indeed hard work brings forth self respect and believing in one's self.

We don't have a sunflower field near our area this year. This was taken last year 2010.

The Cherry Blossom in our Garden and the Quote

Ambition is not always wrong.
But when it consumes us
So that we can't wait for God,
We display luck of faith.

When we submit our desires and goals to the Lord,
We can be sure that He will give us
What is best. -Dave Brannon.

Lord, grant us now the grace to wait,
To trust alone in You,
Lest we set goals outside Your will
That we with zeal pursue. -Anon.

The cherry blossom in our garden. Sad to say that due to the past cold and freezing nights sometimes, most of its small fruits got frozen and turned brown. I am just hoping that we will get some sweet red cherry fruits this year.

The Quote

“Time is free, but it’s priceless.
You can’t own it, but you can use it.
You can’t keep it, but you can spend it.
Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.”

spring is finally here! taken near our place. I copied the quote posted by my dear friend in her facebook profile.

A life that's pleasing to the Lord;

Direction in God's holy Word."

For all the heartaches and the tears,
For gloomy days and fruitless years
I do give thanks, for now I know
These were the things
that helped me grow!
