Pink Skies

The best things in life are nearest:
Breath in your nostrils,
light in your eyes,
flowers at your feet,
duties at your hand,
the path of right just before you.
Then do not grasp at the stars,
but do life's plain, common work
as it comes,
certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.
~Robert Louis Stevenson

this is outside my bedroom window which i opened to have a peek what the weather was like, what a wonderful sight, lots of pink beyond the screen!!! , there is the pink and white fluff of the fireweeds, morning sunrise is always pink, and of sorts the scarlet runners that are just starting to grow after our wet and cold summer.

this morning a huge brown bear, a grizzly someone said, passed in front of this window but he dissappeared to fast for me to take a picture, i hope he comes again in the morning!!

we are having a quite warm evening now, so nice to be able to sit out on the porch and enjoy the night air.

good nite

and keep safe from all your storms

oh

i meant to put a pic here that i saw as i was going to work at 7 am, this rainbow stretched for 30km or so and lasted for two hours!! so unusual but amazing.  while a friend and i stood there at work watching, it moved from behing to in front of the mountain!  i mentioned that it was right over her house!!, she said yeah, maybe i will win the lottery  hahha...

well it may not be an exciting rainbow but for us it was because i have never seen a rainbow at seven in the morning before!!!!

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY

Revelation from the Blessing

Read carefully the lyrics to the song in the sidebar.................................Is there a time when you felt that God was silent, that He did not care, that you were alone...........................

She understood the power of the love of Gd and that He did not hold any barriers of ill will to those who did not treat her/Him in the way she thought they should.  There was no anger, no hurt, when others did not do what she wanted them too.  Compassion and pity and communication with Jesus.

Visiting the poor, lonely, old, childless, fatherless, mixed up, because they are the ones that will welcome Him the most.  Its not because I have been an Christian all my life,  but that I welcome those who want to be welcomed.

Dear God

Help me do the things I don't want to do, as in forgiving, compassion, and may I open the door for the Spirit to come in.  May I have the courage.  Also to give up the things I want most!  that I can be your friend and see you in heaven.

again....amen. amen. amen!

The Greatest Blessing

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return~Eden Ahbez~

The Greatest Blessing

The truth is that there is only one terminal dignity - love. And the story of a ...love is not important -what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity. ~ Helen Hayes ~

 

What does a person do when love seems to elude them?  When disaster overwhelms.  And there is just lonliness.  We can just remember the past, remember Creation, remember that He lives, remember the heavely shoulders are big enough for you and me!!      and thank God for getting us thru this far. 

 

Well my blessing today was seeing my Pink Yarrow in bloom, for the dinner at a friends place that i invited myself to, lol, rain the keeps coming down and hoping the earth will have soaked up enough to last another year, for songs, for the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. 

 

Thank you to Beverly's Blog~How Sweet the Sound and Pink Saturday.  What a wonderful way to donate to a charity! 

 

Blessings for this day!

Bev

The Blessing of a Sunset

The Blessing is looking up into the heaven and realizing that the most beautiful thing is that there is a Creator who has given us the beauty of the earth, the beauty of my country, my reward from choosing Him in my life.  But something is gone.  the laughter of small feet and the presence of trucks and skidoos and an earthly father.

and so................what shall be my next step??  i will have to wait and see.  But writing this blog and meeting you out there on your pages has ben a blessing also, sharing pinks and lifestyles.  thank you so much>i have an unfinished trailer but it has been worth it to live here!!

Blessings

well i guess i am too early for this but i will keep adding to it lol so keep posted.............

Blessing after Blessing

my life has been one continual blessing

as i look back over the years, yes i have been thru divorce, never remarried although i tried, went on singles but God did not provide that blessin for me. 

BUT

throughout the uears He has given me a way to provide for my family, keeping them fed, providing a wonderful piece of property, that grew beautiful pink flowers of every shape and form, the picture below is a small portion of it, school close by, a church family,

wonderful country setting town, angels have surrounded us on every hand, now my children are grown up, healthy, making their own choices and having the Lord in thier lives.  Their children are blessed with each other.  it has not been easy but God is with us and what more could anyone wish for!!!  He is a great God.

Pink Peony

The Color Pink is favorite with kids, grandmas, flowery earth, brings comfort, peace and happiness.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

O Glorious Love

VERSE 1

In the darkness Jesus found me

Touch my eyes and made me see  

Broke the chains that longed had bound me

Gave me life and liberty

CHORUS

O glorious love that Christ my Lord, divine
That made Him stoop to save a soul like mine

Through all my days and then in heaven above

My soul will silence never

I'll worship Him forever

And praise Him for His glorious love   

VERSE 2

Oh amazing truth to ponder

He whom angel host attend

Lord of Heaven thou somewhat wonder

He became the sinners friend

REPEAT CHORUS

O glorious love that Christ my Lord, divine

That made Him stoop to save a soul like mine

Through all my days and then in heaven above

My soul will silence never

I'll worship Him forever

And praise Him for His glorious love

TAG

And praise Him for His glorious love

And praise Him for His glorious love

Figs and pink sand

How can two birds be so lovely~these are pics from my cousin who lives in Australia, Well happy PINK SATURDAY to all who read this post.  events of the summer have been very eventful for our families.  We have lost most of the members of the otherside of the name i used to carry, in other words my childrens father, uncle and grandfather have all passed away with in six months of each other, my daughter and I have had our summer romances ,  and my other daughter has moved into a new house, my son and his wife came over from Bolivia who i probable will not be able to see because  we do not have the finances,  but we talk on skype and the phone alot. and fall has finally arrived with snow on the mountain and fall colore settling in.  the garden  is mostly in and the mice are hungry and withstanding all pest controls,  there is a big hole in my trailer to fix and the propane heater for the long winter under the trailer is ready.    my life does sound rather predicatble now doesn't it. 

Except for PINK SATURDAY , we have all the exciting things to look at and be thankful for,

this was such a pretty pink and pretty wedding party i had to include it also here

The foggy salmon colored smoke of the summer clouded the skies,

i loved this beach also , the sand looks a soft pink

and lastly is food, a FIG, that perhaps could use a bit of imagination to wonder where the pink is, but does it not make your mouth water.

have a good weekend everyone!

PINK FLOWERS

Hello Everyone!  it has ben a long time since i have been blogging, seems like this month has gone b so fast and a short time since May 30 Pink Saturday.  GUESS what!!!!!!!!  I finally mailed the boxes for the draw today ladies, they are on the way,  i am sorry it took so long and i am a terrible one to go to the post office, but you should get them in two weeks as i sent them ground.
NOW! 
something for PINK SAT|URDAY.......
what do you notice in this picture???  I think it s very funny actually!!!....these people are actually on top of a mountain and there is this person wearing a pink housecoat or something ...........what do you think?

PINK WILD ROSES IN BLOOM

These are lupins in my yard.  I took a walk around and suddenly came upon these growing in the middle of nowhere.  they are so pretty... 

here is my granddaughter in pink and she made a snow girl out of styrofoam balls that she got out of my craft drawers.  that is the first place she goes , she loves craft things, we used pink tissue for the skirt and bib. 

thought for the day.....

Isaiah 26

1In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
2Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.
3Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
4Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

I love verse 1 where God says that anthing in my life that is a wall or i come up against problems that are too hearbreaking or too much for me to handle He will open the doors and let me see the way to another person, or thought, or way of handling a certain situation.  He will, instead of the barriers, appoint a way of salvation.  These verses have been such a comfort to me in the last two weeks, so i hope they bless you too.

Have a very wonderful PINK SATURDAY

and

Debbie  from Debbie-Dabble #2 for my 200th post for pink saturday posts

 

Hello Everyone!!  what an exciting time for us all!!  Happy 2nd Anniversary for Pink Saturday, such fun to see all the pink pictures and creations, my big 60th this year on May 30th actually and I have just noticed it is my 200th post.  So I will be sending out two gifts from the draw for all of you who leave a note on my blog.  Draw closes 10:00pm my time in BC as that is when i probably will turn in from all the excitement from the day. 

I have already received presents and flowers from my daughter, wth her daughter,  and some more will be happening next week which I will post pictures later.  We went out for dinner at the Blue Fin for sushi.  They have the best food there and for the three of us the cost was only $67.00

Here are the prizes, a surprize  in the order they will be sent........

Well, people, friends, ladies and who ever will be seeing this blog--these last two months have been quite something with a little bit of stress on the mind and I have struggled thru it all wondering how come God let these things happen.  And one thing this week stands out in my mind and that is Psalms 78........

He did miracles in the sight of their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan. 68 but he chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loved.

                  13 He divided the sea and led them through; he made the water stand firm like a wall.
                  14 He guided them with the cloud by day and with light from the fire all night.
                  15 He split the rocks in the desert and gave them water as abundant as the seas;
                  16 he brought streams out of a rocky crag and made water flow down like rivers.

38 Yet he was merciful; he forgave their iniquities and did not destroy them. Time after time he restrained his anger and did not stir up his full wrath.

69 He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth that he established forever.
70 He chose David his servant and took him from the sheep pens;
72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

Well, if He can chose David and all his sins that he had done, He can choose me too....and I am glad He did, by sending me health, friends who comfort, advise, love, and understanding, forgiveness.  So Ladies, have a wonderful
Pink Saturday , please visit Bev our host of Pink Saturday by clicking the picture on the sidebar...
