It’s a
cool winter day with the sun shining bright, just the way I like it! I caught some movement from the corner of my
eye and when I turned I saw a pretty butterfly fluttering around the rose
bushes. Delightful.
I was
sitting on the porch today,
When a
butterfly flew up to play.
I watched
him flutter his wings up and down,
As he
looked at me not making a sound.
I smiled
at him and he smiled back,
Then he
flew away . . . .
Goodbye Butterfly.

I found a
little lizard sunning himself on the back porch and a few birds wishing there
was seed in their feeders. I need to put
that on Mr D’s ‘to-do’ list.
He had
some high numbers on his last blood test and today he’s off to the doctor to
get some things checked out. I know he
would appreciate your prayers.
As for
me, I’ll sit here by the big window and work on my diamond art until he’s back
home.
Even with
the worries that come with doctor visits and the unknowns we all face, my heart
is resting in gratitude today. The sunshine, the butterfly dancing through the
roses, the tiny lizard soaking up warmth, even the birds reminding me to refill
their feeders—all of it feels like God’s quiet way of saying He’s near. So I’m
choosing thankfulness right here by the big windows, trusting that the same God
who watches over the smallest creatures is watching over us too. Life goes on,
and grace goes with it.
Ephesians
5:20: "Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Until
Next Time
Amen! How wonderful to see a butterfly and lizard in the heart of winter! I know where you are is much like where we are...we don't feel winter's blast as much as those further to our north, although I thought I saw Texas is in the crosshairs of this big storm that is coming. Maybe you are close enough to the gulf to be spared the bad stuff, I pray! Praying also for Mr. D's appointment and for some good answers as to how to take care of those higher numbers on his lab work. I know how concerning that can be, but yes, we commit each thing to the Lord and He takes care of the rest...and gives us wisdom of what we may need to change if anything to make things right. Meanwhile, relax and enjoy the view from your big window. God is in control in all things. Amen.
ReplyDeleteWe are going to get hit with an artic blast this weekend, but in Texas we can have summer, fall, winter and spring in the same week. Thank you for your prayers for Mr D, we are so blessed that all is okay. Even through all our concerns, we know God holds us close.
