Let's Have A Chat And Look At Flowers From My Garden

I didn't post yesterday because I had a lot on my mind and I was processing it all. Do you have days like that?

I watched this documentary trailer yesterday at Mundane Faithfulness. A friend shared it online and I was so moved as I watched it. The beauty of lives trusting in God and the pain of a life being lost to cancer.

I also wanted to share with you a post by a woman whom I've known most of my life. She was a mentor to me in my youth. She is one of the authors of the Princess Parables.

Jacquie was a missionary in Central America when I was a young girl and in this post she shared an experience that God used to teach her

trials + Acceptance of the trial with joy and thanksgiving = Growth/Maturity

Go here to read the post. It's challenging and encouraging.

Daily we have the choice of how we are going to respond to what HE is allowing in our lives, for our good.

Behind the scenes here at Creekside Cottage life is happening. Children are learning, our cottage is being cared for, we spend Tuesdays with my parents, work to be available to help others. Lessons not of the academic kind, are being learned by all of us, and we daily walk in Grace. It is so needed, and I am thankful.

We are having warmer weather now, so I am feeling the coming of Spring. In honor of that I thought I'd share some photos of flowers from my gardens over the last few years. I am looking forward to seeing these in the garden this year!
