'Just Think' Poem

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.

~Ecclesiastes 3:1

Just think,

you're here not by chance,

but by God's choosing.

His hand formed you

and made you

the person you are.

He compares you to no one else-

you are one of a kind. 

You lack nothing 

that His grace can't give you.

He has allowed you to be here at this time in history

to fulfill His special purpose

for this generation.

DaySpring co-founder, Roy Lessin 

November

"November comes 

And November goes, 

With the last red berries 

And the first white snows.

With night coming early, 

And dawn coming late, 

And ice in the bucket 

And frost by the gate.

The fires burn 

And the kettles sing, 

And earth sinks to rest 

Until next spring."

-  Elizabeth Coatsworth

France Daydreaming

I have traveled to Paris and the south of France and fell in love with it. I think back on that trip all the time and dream of going there again. Here are some beautiful photos that I discovered today.

Fall Clothes

Fall will be here soon and I'm looking forward to fall colors, cooler weather, and wearing warm cozy clothes. Here are some things I have my eye on. Sadly some of them are out of my price range but, it's always nice to dream.

A pair of ridding boots that look like these...

The Reader and the Writter

But I know some part of me is always busy with some part of the landscape, following the movements of the seagulls, trees and shadows, spotting boats and checking to see that the world is always there, always interesting and always a challenge to write about: an assurance that a writer needs to continue to write and a reader needs to continue to read. ~Orhan Pamuk

The Beginning

This blog will contain many things; pictures of artwork and photography (mine and others), lovely quotes, music, clothes and just beautiful things. Anything and everything I love really. It'll be a place for me to jot down what's on my mind and show pictures of things I love and would like to share. I'm not one for a lot of words so it will most likely contain visual things. Anyways, if you come across this blog I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I do making it.
