  • THIS IS THE DAY

    This is the day, that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.................

    Another Sunday morning, although a rainy Sunday morning. It's a cozy morning.  I'm tired and feel like sleeping in but then I think, the Lord might have something new for me today.  I read my Bible which is always a blessing to me.  Next it's off to our home fellowship.  I was greeted with a big smile from my grandson, which is another blessing. Although we have very few in our home fellowship (My daughter and her family and us)  We still find new blessing's each time we meet.  A special blessing was in the song we sang, (and being a grandma, I can't remember the words, It was a new song) But it reminded me that to be a Christian is to be alive. So often we ( I ) get bogged down but really there is lots of joyful life in Christ.

    Yesterday I was looking up Blue Moon on Google, the picture I took at Lost Lake the other night was of the blue moon over lost lake.  Someone reminded me that the blue moon was in June, but after looking it up I found that it would depend on where you lived as to when the blue moon would occur this year.  We live in the Americas so we see the blue moon in May, some parts of the world see it in June and some parts of the world have to wait till July.

    I hope I don't bore you to death, but God created the heavens, and I find all of his creation very interesting. Not only in looking at it, but to study deeper into it.  On our family site the other day my grsndson put up the address of NASA.gov where you can see beautiful shots of some of the planets.

    Years ago the definition of the blue moon was, the 3rd full moon in a quarter, where ther are 4 full moons, the new definition is the 2nd full moon in a month.  May full moon was both, so I feel quite blessed to be able to see it much less photograph it.  When the moon first came up behind the trees, the Mountain reflected in the lake and it was so beautiful at first I could only but gasp. but then Pop reminded me that we were there to take pictures, not just look.

    image-1.jpg I know you've seen it before but it makes me wonder "How beautiful Heaven Must Be"

    We've tried for more than 4 years to get this shot. Sometimes it is clouded in, and sometimes the moon just does not rise in the right place.  I remember one night I stood there for hours waiting for the moon to come up and low and behold it appeared after it was too dark to take a pictue and it was at the top on the mountain on the right side. It was beautiful, but it was too dark for the camera to record.  Also there is a lot of wind at the lake which makes so the mountain don't reflect but the other night it was perfect. and it was for me.  God is so good !!

  • yea, your first comment and I am the one leaving it...that doesn't happen too often. Your poem is so sweet...I love it!! I have to print it out...I wasn't trying to hide, I just got a moment of xanga freeze where I didnt' want to see xanga, or here xanga no more. Well, after about 3 weeks I started missing everyone on xanga that I keep up with. And my sister wasn't going to let me go that easy...so here I am again. I still have to find everyone else and it's kinda a mess, but I am slowly getting around to finding my friends again. Thanks for the poem, it made my day and I will be smiling about it, till I sleep tonight. you are adoreable!!

  • Thank you for sharing your Mount Hood pictures. I am using one of them as my wallpaper ... (now you're famous). Thank you for the kind remarks on yesterdays post. It was difficult as it wasn't one of the warm fuzzy type. I guess there are times to be warm and fuzzy and other times to be a little prickly. As long as God can use these words to encourage others, then I am doing my job.

    Blessings!

  • The creation of our heavenly Father is so wondrous, I could never be bored hearing about it.  Your photos are gorgeous!!!

  • I love your "Blue Moon."  How many shots do you take on a shooting expedition like this?  I hope  you had a good "day of rest & gladness."  I did.

  • Hi there gramma S. this is pasco Mom.  I am glad you found a dr. and maybe it will help you.  we will pray that it won't be anything serious as I know you enyoy life..  Keep those blogs and pics coming, I love them

  • That is a beautiful picture. I may have to add it to my collection.

  • Dear Gramma, I'm glad you got your collages and that you like  them...they don't deserve to be held in such high esteem though!  You are a sweetheart to be so happy over such little things....I'm glad they brought you a smile or two. I'll bet you do have cousins near me....=). I like to stay anon on the world wide web...I think its a good idea, for me anyway. Hope you are having a nice day...I've had such a peach of a day.  Christian sisters & I went to the quilt show today and out to eat afterwards. We laughed ourselves silly and to hear us talk...you'd have thought we were 3 judges  looking those beautiful quilts over! I gave my vote to a whimsical bunny quilt/wall hanging. My one friend gave her vote to a black background with bright tumbling blocks, and the other gave her vote to a redwork quilt that really was stunning. The border was checkerboard style. So much beauty in one place! And to think, projects that huge and these women actually FINISHED them. That should go down in history...grin!

  • What a blessing the Lord gave you to share with all of us! A most special ...long awaited picture ... perfect in His timing!

  • Just popping by to check up on you and see how you are...but no new post today. I'll be back later. Its off to the kitchen for a cup of tea and a cookie...=)
