IS THERE EVER AN END TO LEARNING?

Been feeling a little proud lately as I hear of the accomplishments of our daughters. It's not the degrees that are so important, but the drive to keep on learning. I hear of Batchler and Associate degrees, but I also hear of taking advanced courses in ALF rules and regulations. Then there is news of one making first in managing the business she is engaged in, and pictures of gardening never tried before, and the back yard being beautified. Their Dad is engaged in readying a study in the Book of Ephesians for a Bible Study requested by the Pastor of the church we attend, and I find myself working on old slides of our missionary days to answer a request to present and share our experiences of those days with a woman's group. Our minds are probably the most important part of us God created. We have a responsibility to keep feeding it because even after we leave this earth our minds will keep on learning. Isn't it great to know we will never reach our capacity for learning because the Holy Spirit will always be out front opening up more to us forever. Never quit searching.

AWAKE TO THE MORNING SUN

Awoke to the most beautiful sunshine, sun streaming in through the high windows lighting the room with gold. So many things to do today. Walking through the road covered on each side with blue forget-me nots, I thought of Ron. I remember digging up a clump of these beautiful flowers, putting them in a pot and into a carry-all and taking them on the plane to attend his funeral in St. Petersburg, Florida. I miss him. We shared a spirit of love for our wonderful Savior. I'll see him one of these days. We will meet again in a place much more beautiful than the shining sun this morning.
I took pictures today of flowers not yet in bloom so I can take more when in full bloom and show off their beauty. Apple blossoms to, with wee apples showing themselves behind the fading colors, and I tried very hard to get a robin to stay still, but he wouldn't cooperate. Then the rains came, replenishing the ground, the droplets shining like diamonds as the sun peaked through again.
What more should it take for one to believe in the Creator God? He makes it all so worthwhle.

FOLLOWING THROUGH

It's one thing to think of doing something new, but another to plan and follow through. received pictures of Berty's garden today and her father was impressed. She helped ready the garden here, but hers is up already. The cold weather is slowing things down a bit here. A garden is somewhat like our own lives. The weeds bother sometimes in both places and we have to take care of them so they don't take over. The hoe is the best way to take care of weeds in the garden,but I am so glad the Holy Spirit takes care of them for me because of the work of the cross. Take care of your gardens.
