Thanksgiving brings an opportunity to share a friend or loved one's need ... what a blessing to pray and participate in showing God's love.

A skiff of snow this week highlighted leaves making them appear, to my eye, as ornaments. This pointed to God's beauty. Come see how!

As we went to vote this week, this was the scene that met us: the statue of a fireman in prayer. This is his/her mission, and ours too!

From this vantage point, we noticed many forms of transportation. Come see how this is likened, analogous, to following God's Will.

Cat's eyes from a neighbor's window, reminded me of Jesus' watchful care.

A fallen branch, upon a background of leaves, reminded me of the truth of John 15:5. Jesus is the Vine, we are the branches. Come, abide!

The glow of leaves was reflected into our home. The Spirit’s glow moves in reverse, lighting the soul, to shine in and through us.

God's natural stepping stones led the way to a beautiful vista. Are you following His ways, His Will?

I captured this bridge at just the right moment for it to have a perfect circle reflection. Come see how we are to imitate Jesus, likewise.

Can you see an artistic version of a sketch and a watercolor in my photo? God is with us in the highs, in the lows; He’s with us always.

These leaves appeared singed.. This natural occurrence, reminded me of our sinful nature and our need for Jesus’ gift of life.

Light swept upward, outward washing the trees and every surface of light. Come see how He wants to do the same in your life.

We came upon this crystalline rainbow … and to my soul, it was like the covenant given to Noah, since I had just endured a flood of grief.

I love the first touches of Fall, those first hints of transition, upon the earth. To my heart, they are signs of the earth’s rejoicing.

Sept. 16th marks the one year anniversary of my mom's passing. Her hallmarks were her faith, her hats, humming and her"crown" of gray hair.

One bird was stationary, while the other was in flight. Both were in God’s keeping. If we are following His Will, this is true of us, also.

These hay bales were an obvious sign of harvest taking place in late Summer. Come see how Jesus wants to plant righteousness in your heart.

I loved the transitional pose of this hibiscus. Come see how its "becoming" can be a lesson on God's transformation in our lives.
