a day to remember

. today is a day to remember, not because there's anything special about it ...

. except for these beautiful flowers clipped from a friends forsythia bush .

. and cleaning and laundry all morning .

. and making sandwiches for the guys working outside .

. and chatting with a friend on the phone about personal things and feeling her love .

. and 70 degree temps with the sun shining .

. and worship music in the background .

. and planning to go pick some daffodils from my mother in laws before it rains .

. and cleaning out the freezer to stock it with meat .

. and cleaning the basement a little while i'm down there .

. and FBing heart felt messages with a friend .

. and a window open . (can't open many living on the gravel road)

. and enjoying spending some time in the kitchen with fresh vegetables .

. and realizing again that God is in control and thanking Him for that.

. and still working on memorizing those verses below, i've almost got them .

. and playing wwf's here and there .

. and so, well, it's a simple day i want to remember .

i see HIM...

. in the love others show me .

. in the way a baby takes to its mother moments after it's born .

. in the way little girls like to play with dolls and little boys like to play with trucks .

. bigger than i've ever seen Him .

. in every season .

. moving in my life .

. working in bad situations all around me .

. in this amazing flower .

. if they could only live forever .

. i picked these beautiful purple flowers a week ago yesterday for the open house at the studio . i was back at the studio and they still look so good...they were even almost out of water . i think they like it in there and don't want to leave . so, until they are falling apart and making a mess, they stay :)

. yellow flowers .

. these beautiful yellow flowers that i stole from a bush at the airport are making me want a bush just like this in my yard, just for cutting . i love the color ! i think it was a sunshine forsythia . that's what i found by googling anyway . any of you grow these beautiful bushes ?

. they sure brightened up my back porch area .

. ahh, spring .
