A Sunny Greeting -Postcard Friendship Friday #498

So much is happening, I thought a cheery greeting was in order.  The small daffodils in my garden are bright and happy and have been blooming since mid-January.  The larger ones are beginning to bloom, just in time to bring joy to a world that seems turned upside down.

We are not allowed to travel unless it is an emergency.  Thankfully, I have my darling Mumsie here, so I'm not completely alone.  She's such a wonderful lady to have around.

Have a great weekend everyone, and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday.

Be Still, Sad Heart -Postcard Friendship Friday #286

It is Halloween tomorrow, but that holiday pales in comparison to today's anniversary--one year ago today, my Beloved flew away to heaven.  Life has changed forever. 

Be still, sad heart, and cease repining

Behind the clouds, the sun is shining.

Thy fate is the common fate of all.

Into each life some rain must fall;

Some days must be dark and dreary.

But I must add here--that without both the sun and the rain--there are no rainbows and there is no hope.  I am so grateful to know I will see my darling again someday. In the meantime, the Shepherd of my heart walks with me, He weeps with me and He loves me.

Happy Postcard Friendship Friday, dear  Friends.

Easter Hope - Postcard Friendship Friday #110

 

 

Easter is a time of hope.  It is no wonder we celebrate this wonderful holiday in the Spring.  Hope permeates the very air we breathe.  Centuries ago, Easter was created to celebrate the death of the Savior, the miracle of His resurrection and the hope of His return.

One of my favorite verses from the Bible is found in the book of Romans.  "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Rom. 15:13 NIV)

This year, Easter has a great significance to me.  I wanted to share the hope and peace I find in my heart just now.  It wasn't so just a few days ago.  The doc had found some lumps and swollen lymph nodes.  It was a shock to hear.  Though it might not be anything at all, I felt so frightened.  But when I laid my fear and anxious thoughts in the arms of Him Who loves me, peace and joy--and hope flooded my soul.

Hope.  That's the gift of Easter--HOPE!

Early Monday morning I go to the hospital for a diagnostic mammogram.  It's the best cancer hospital in the entire Pacific Northwest, I'm told. This may be just a false alarm.  I pray that is what it is.  Sweet friends, I would appreciate your prayers for a good outcome.

May God fill each of your hearts and lives with His love, joy, strength, power, peace--and especially hope.

HAPPY EASTER!

Happy Easter!

I love this card--the beauty of the flowers and then there's that egg. If you look closely you can see there's a little chick's beak cracking the shell.

New life, new growth, new beginnings. There is always hope!

HAPPY EASTER!

Easter Gladness

There is something so precious about baby chick--never mind that they will quickly become chickens. But even adult chickens can be cute and rather interesting.

There is new life all around. Spring has truly sprung with its flowers, babies and a sense of great hope.

Hope of Happiness

Happy Birthday, my darling little Niece. I remember the day you were born. How you have grown.

We had a wonderful day together. How grateful I am for your loving heart and winsome ways. Somehow you bring healing and happiness in your fingers.

I love you!
