How is it I am so blessed? Look at this beautiful morning sky on the first little snowfall for the season yesterday. God knows each of us so deeply that He knows the simple thinks like a beautiful sky will make my morning start out with a smile. This makes me think about how much I have been missing. Do I look for the ways God blesses me each day? Do I take for granted the things in my life and miss the joy and pleasures God wants me to have because I am not paying attention? I think I have been sliding along lately not being aware of what is around me. I have been so focused on "me" and things in "my" life that I am missing out on what He has to share with me. I think I am going to work on looking harder at those around me and be more aware of His presence in different ways. :)
Jed really likes this barn on the neighbor's property. It does present a beautiful background for photos. Today there is just a skim of snow. I am sure it will be really great when we get a deep snow. I just missed the horses. They were feeding on the hill in front of the barn but by the time I grabbed the camera they were being called to breakfast. There will be other days.
I believe this is the evidence of the critter that wakes me up some nights (like last night) crawling around under the house. Good thing is, if this is the critter, I believe it is a cat and that means she is keeping the mice under control. Bad thing is, how is she getting under the house and can other critters get there also and.....why does she have to be so noisy!!!!!
Another beautiful shy painting by the most Awesome artist ever....GOD!!!
Pumpkins and Hedge Apples with a tiny touch of the snow flakes.
I think once the house is in better order and organization is my friend again, I am really going to like living out away from the hustle of city life. I find myself being more observant to little things of beauty like the picture above and less worried about the stresses of this fallen world. Do you struggle with "the world" we live in? I find my mind wonders a lot on the negative that surrounds me. I want to get away from that and be able to focus more on the beautiful blessings. And yes, some of those beautiful blessings come in the form of trials but still they are blessings of strength and growth. I desire to be able to search scripture and read more and secretly ( not so secretly now I guess) I am thrilled that we don't have TV. The internet is enough of a distraction we don't really need TV. Jed may not feel the same with football season in swing. LOL! What are your distractions in life. What keeps you from being able to enjoy the little things God puts in your path? What do we do about it?
Well, enough rambling for today. Hope you have enjoyed the pictures and ramblings. Have a blessed day!
Ronda :)
