On my way to work this morning I saw this flower and had to stop and take it’s picture. Don’t know that I have seen an all white Hibiscus but it was striking.
Never pass on the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of flowers. Cee’s challenge Flower of the Day gives us to chance to see what others are seeing.
And as always, as you enjoy the beauty of what you see, be the beauty you can be by being kind. Kindness has a beauty all its own.
There are always two sides to any argument. Some will always agree with you and some will fight you about it letting you know you are so wrong. Today I am going the do the pros and cons of a concept that while everyone may agree with the cons, they are far outweighed by the pros making everyone…well, you will see.
The Pros and Cons of Dogs….how can their ever be a con? Well, okay, walking them in the rain is a con…
but it’s better than them going in the house…
Then their is the con of pet hair on you clothes… but the pro is you are making a fashion statement.
Beside the obvious attributes that can be cons, lets talk about the gut wrenching emotional pros…like cuddling
Cuddling, touching, companionship is a powerful pro for dog ownership.
And their love is timeless. They are all in with their owners. Totally devoted to us.
And their devotion sometimes make us laugh temporarily forgetting the day’s trials.
So very true…they give us an emotional support that sometimes surpasses anything we may run into during any given day.
We just have to make sure we are deserving of that devotion and try to mirror that love and devotion out into the world showing the world it possibilities through kindness as was first started at creation. Always be kind to all kinds.
Come join in on Streams of Consciousness Saturday with Linda Hill and all who play with this prompt.
Come join in the the fun and beauty of flowers. Cee has created a fabulous prompt that we can all share the beauty we see.
Even toward the end of summer and a crazy storm, the lilies are still hanging on. It is interesting to me in that depending on where the lilies are growing, some are still going strong. My lilies in front yard are gone but the back ones that get sun all day long are still going. They have been a real testament to the 2020 season with all the craziness going on. Stay true, stay strong and you will survive.
And as always remember the strength and resilience of kindness and carry it wherever you go.
YOU WERE GIVEN THIS LIFE BECAUSE YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO LIVE IT.
Come join in on 1 Liner Wednesday from Linda Hill and enjoy the creative juices of us all.
And as always, remember to be kind. There is untold strength in kindness.
Anger
You tried to ruin me, but I was not able to see
The fear you carried and tried to shove on me
I tried to help you but ended up getting hurt
You threw me to the ground while ripping my shirt.
I had enough pain and went away on my own
In hoped you would see life is no fun being alone
But this made you madder, for me to finally breathe
A feeling you hated, deepening you anger to seethe
You tried to ruin me, but I am now able to see
That being without you I can finally be free.

Today we had a really bad storm, 90+ mph winds, hurricane force, In Iowa. Many people in this area are without power but I was lucky. Storms are nothing to ignore, some are very serious but I remind you as I posts pictures of what I saw today, that God is always with us.

As you feel his love and kindness toward yuo, remember to always be kind to others. It reflects his love…
As hard as I try to catch a picture of a hummingbird at my feeder, my phone camera is just too slow. But I do have a variety of flowers in my yard that they visit often, so I given you flowers from a Hummers perspective, in macro. Sorry, it the best I can do for now.
Hope you enjoyed a trip through hummingbird food for my yard, maybe it made you smile. I leave you with encouragement from the scriptures and a reminder of the beauty of nature.
Have a wonderful afternoon. Be safe and be kind.
The sky is always fun to watch as the clouds form fun and interesting shapes during the summer months of thunderheads and the colors of fall are always amazing as the air cools and atmosphere thickens.
The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Psalm 19:1
Below are some of the picture I have taken this summer as storms have been busy this year.
And as always, remember to be kind. Kindness was created by God and is a reflection of His love to all creation.
