Water Beauty

We ventured out today to get a few pond plants. I was moved by all the beauty that surrounded us. I wish there was a way to pack all that relaxation and peacefulness feeling up and keep it in my heart forever. Miraculous nature everywhere. God sure does take care of us!

I don’t know about you but Water Lilies just make me smile inside.

Butterflies

In my little world, butterflies represent freedom and those that have died. I sometimes envision loved ones that have gone on, to be secretly watching us through these little insects. They sure are another one of God’s most beautiful things.

~BUTTERFLIES, OH, BUTTERFLIES~
Butterflies, Oh, Butterflies,
your beauty is so rare.
Butterflies, Oh, butterflies,
How could anyone dare
to catch you and to hold you
against your solemn will?
They should just admire you
and let you have your fill
of flitting here and flitting there,
gathering up your daily fare
of nectars from the flowers bright,
from early morning until night.
Butterflies, beautiful butterflies,
with so many colors rare,
it hurts my heart when one dies,
Yet, does anyone truly care?
For butterflies, butterflies,
you represent new birth,
from chrysalis until you die,
you beautify the earth.
thank you, lovely butterflies.

Next time you see a butterfly think of the peace and happiness…..may His wings take you to a whole new world.

Trying to live in a stressed-out world.

Open your heart and soul to find beauty. Look at all the gorgeous things around you. Do you ever wonder how things really “came to be”? I want to slow life down and capture true beauty. Seasons come and go. Things change. I want to remember the good and the beautiful.Simply know that ALL of this was created to please and make our lives happy. “Take time to smell all of the flowers!”
