At the Island (Part I)


......






 








We visited and explored the Island several times this past summer. God's majesty (and artistry!) is never on clearer display than at the ocean! We gathered shells, and waded in the water, and visited adorable ocean-side towns. We sat on the beach and ate our packed picnic lunch, and walked along the water and gathered driftwood.  They were lovely days! And ferry rides are just fun. :o) 

Stay tuned for Part II!

To Have Chosen ...


......

“Pain and suffering produce a fork in the road. It is not possible to remain unchanged. To let others or circumstances dictate your future is to have chosen. To allow pain to corrode your spirit is to have chosen. And to be transformed into the image of Christ by these difficult and trying circumstances is to have chosen.” 
Tim Hansel

Summertime Here


......

Summer so far has been filled with evidences and pictures of God's power and grace in our lives (though not much blogging!). A lot of pretty tough things, but blessings too. He never allows us to go through the one without some reminder of His mercy through the other. He is good and He is faithful, without fail!

The Saturday Evening Post | Springtime + C. S. Lewis



......

" ... This law was called the Law of Nature because people thought that every one knew it by nature and did not need to be taught it. They did not mean, of course, that you might not find an odd individual here and there who did not know it, just as you find a few people who are colour-blind or have no ear for a tune. But taking the race as a whole, they thought that the human idea of decent behaviour was obvious to every one. And I believe they were right. If they were not, then all the things we said about the war were nonsense. What was the sense in saying the enemy were in the wrong unless Right is a real thing which the Nazis at bottom knew as well as we did and ought to have practiced? If they had had no notion of what we mean by right, then, though we might still have had to fight them, we could no more have blamed them for that than for the colour of their hair."

~ Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis

Flowers ...


Primroses.

Fresh eggs.

Getting ready for the hummingbirds.

Raking grass in your bare feet ... best feeling ever.

The Treehouse Garden is looking great ...
