Pink Simplicity

simple bleeding hearts and flower strewn pathways...

{I received a lot of comments about my
pathway so I added more photos for you
to enjoy. The smell is so intoxicating
when this tree is in full bloom!}

I also am reminded of this poem/song
from my youth...

God hath not promised Skies always blue Flower -strewn pathways All our lives through.

God hath not promised Sun without rain Joy without sorrow Peace without pain.

But God hath promised Strength for the day Rest for the labor Light for the way.

Grace for the trials Help from above.
Unfailing sympathy Undying Love.

so thankful for His promises today...

God's Timing

Isn't it amazing how perfect God's timing is? Even when it comes to the different seasons of the year.
Just when we don't think we can stand one more day
of winter...here comes spring.
Then again comes summer, fall and winter and we
start all over again. I have thought many times that
God planned each season to be just the right length.
{remind me of that when I can't stand one more day of snow}

It also reminds me of the Bible verse

Ecclesiastes 3:1

"To everything there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under heaven.
A time to be born, and a time to die.
a time to plant and a time to reap.
a time to kill and a time to heal
a time to break down and a time to build up
a time to weep and a time to laugh
a time to mourn and a time to dance.
a time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones.

a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing.
a time to get and a time to lose.
a time to keep and a time to cast away.
a time to rend and a time to sew.
a time to keep silence and a time to speak
{still learning that one}
a time to love and a time to hate.
a time of war and a time of peace."

I challenge you to think about God's perfect timing today
as you go about your day.

We have no clue how many times our lives were spared because we were "running late" and missed being in an accident or because we "ran back in the house" to get that item we forgot or when we had to "sit in traffic and wait impatiently"... {speaking to myself here} and on and on. God loves us.
He wants what is best for each of us.
and His timing in everything is always
Perfect.

Praying you have a wonderful day ~
