  2. wise words to be sure–I’ve often heard that those who walk, always watching where they’re going with eyes constantly cast downward, never see the sky above or the amazing surroundings—may our visions never be limited—Happy post birthday 🙂
    my love to you my dear—Julie

Only a profound and generous heart like yours can choose such wise lessons… I especially love the picture its the beautiful and true words… and as Stacy said, “I raise my eyes Natakie, because I know that I’m definitely not the highest point.”.

    • You are so generous and kind and encouraging with your compliments, mon ami! I too know I’m not the hightest point. I look to the “blue silences of the heavens” for the highest point as you recently penned. I pray you’re having a very blessed Sabbath, Cher. Hugs and love, N 🙂 ❤

  5. Natalie, when one abides in the Spirit as you do, it is easy to raise one’s eyes. May this year bring new beauty, wisdom and inspiration to you, sister blogger, as you so richly and abundantly give to us.

  6. Natalie I have been having fun on your blog reading what you have written and what others are saying about you and your blog. It’s all so great, isn’t it? You are highly esteemed by your readers including me. You have very inspiring quotes here. You brilliantly give short stuff and one easily reads to the end. This quote reminds me of what is said in my village: “A child who knows only the milk from the mother’s breast thinks it is the best in the world.” once again bravo for such a beautiful site. Interestingly, the best is still to come.
