shelly


 Shelly came down from ny and got to stay a few extra days with us after Thanksgiving.  This is the Japanese maple tree that bloomed the week of thanksgiving, and today - there are no leaves on it.  It's no wonder to me now, why the former owners of our home kept on about the japanese maples when we bought our home. This tree was really pretty.  The color was so vibrant and rich....so we took lots of pictures.   I did not know of it's hidden beauty.  You can see from the tree behind it, the color of ordinary trees in the winter here. 


We spent a day at the mobile museum of art at an Albrecht Durur exhibit.  The babies were SO good. Shelly studied his work at Savannah.






This is a beautiful piece of art hanging in the museum.
Angel wings made of spoons! The top is the spoon heads and the bottom of the wings are the handles.



so special!


i miss you shelly

2 days before the twins arrived....
I am so thankful my Dad took this picture....to remind me what it felt like to hold two precious lives inside of me...

Be encouraged!

Lord fill my heart with Yours
that I may know Your will,
those things that I should act upon
and when you want me still.

Guard my mind from useless thoughts
that clutter, harm, confuse.
Create in me a closeness
that Your course I'll always choose.

Clear my hearing, teach me
to identify the lies,
that I may only hear the truth
of who I am in Christ.

Lord, satisfy and fill me
with Your Spirit from above,
that I may truly know the freedom
of Unfailing Love.

Then planted deeply in that love,
my heart in full surrender,
Lift the veil for all to see,
my life display Your splendor.


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11
