Happiness flutters in the air
whilst we rest among
the breaths of nature.
~Kelly Sheaffer
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As longs as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles. ~Anne Frank
Nature is man’s teacher. She unfolds her treasures to his search, unseals his eye, illumes his mind, and purifies his heart; an influence breathes from all the sights and sounds of her existence. ~Alfred Billings Street
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. ~Romans 1:20 ✝
Thank you, Lord Jesus, that you save, you heal, you restore, and you reveal Your Father’s heart to us! You have captured me with grace and I’m caught in Your infinite embrace! Like Saint Hildegard Lord, may I too be a feather on your holy breath and spread, like seeds, the gospel abroad.




Good quotes 😉 Great shots, soothing words—I like the yellow theme 🙂 The art teacher will tell you that the color yellow, presented in small doses, such as a bouquet or vase of flowers, produces an uplifting effect on one’s psyche—in bigger doses, such as a room painted such can actually induce headaches and anxiety. fun fact of the day dear one—Julie

as always–your dose was perfect! Enjoy the rain–it’s a feast or famine here—and we are in the midsts of a famine—

It’s usually famine here most, if not all, of the summer, but this summer we have actually been getting some rain. I sure hope your famine breaks soon. I remember in the spring that you couldn’t get it to stop raining. Go figure! 🙂
