It’s a new day

Good morning Folks ~ It’s Friday here where I am. I hope you all have a lovely cay and weekend.  It’s a new day, may I rejoice and be glad in it.

My prayer for the day:

***
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning;
for in thee do I trust:
cause me to know the way wherein I should walk;
for I lift up my soul unto thee.
Psa 143:8

Here are some of God’s gifts that I am thankful for.

Alamo vine

Ground orchids

Hibiscus

Queen Crepe Myrtle

Royal poinciana in the background. 

This is my view out the ‘scullery’ window as I wash dishes.

More sunflowers

Unknown orchids.

Vanda orchid ‘Miss Joachuim’.

‘Prosperity’ roses

Unknown rose with a beautiful lavender color and a rich rose scent.

Another unknown rose.

Sunrise the other morning.

Sometimes God’s colors in the sky just make me gasp. 

This was one of those times.

I’ve been working on clearing out ‘storage’ in our bedroom.  Am making forward progress and that feels great. Yesterday I cooked a chicken, minus the breasts in the crockpot and the aroma filled the cottage and made me feel content and hungry.  I also baked a loaf of banana bread with coconut, sunflower seeds and craisins added to the mix.  The chicken breast will be made into a spicy Thai dish.

We had a little rain yesterday as a thunderstorm passed over, and I and the gardens are thankful for the rain.

This morning I was listening to some music on you-tube and found a piece I’ve never heard before, but it spoke directly to me at this time.

It is called ‘ The Hurt & The Healer’ by Mercy Me.

May we all grow in God’s grace and tender mercies.
