Too Much and Enough


thirsty lantana

drinking in the summer rain

potted rose moss: 😳


Do you like honey? Don’t eat too much, or it will make you sick!

Gray Moon

weary crescent moon

finds a welcome place to rest

waning is hard work


Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

2 Corinthians 4:16 (NIV)

Fearless

only the bravest

dare to thrive on the edges

fearless free climbers


Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.

Happy Flowers


Do not dwell on bad

or bad will only turn worse

water the flowers.

Rain

the morning after

birds singing in the brisk breeze

thankful for the rain


Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge Him. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.

Hosea 6:3 (NIV)

and in summer, too. 😊

Sitting center street

Stands the ancient, mighty oak

The world goes around
