Show and Tell Friday

Today is Show and Tell Friday over at Kelli's House It is so much fun visiting other blogs and checking out their show and tell items. Today I am sharing some outdoor pictures from around my home. Here is the south spring is in full bloom!


Here is an amaryllis in full bloom

I have had these yellow snapdragons for months, They are just now blooming, but WOW, they were worth the wait.

Another pot with snapdragons.

Here are some dianthis (sp?), they too have waited a long time to bloom, but are doing great!

I've been waiting to catch this guy feeding. This picture is not the best, but I'm going to keep trying! Isn't he beautiful?

Spring is such a beautiful time of the year! Hope you enjoy these shots. Don't forget to check out the other show and tells over at Kelli's.

    Gorgeous flowers! We won't have our baskets looking so in bloom until May. We are still in the 30's at night up here. Brrrr I can't wait to see color outside. Thanks for sharing yours with us.

    Your Amarylis grows in the garden? We buy them here in the winter and grow them at Christmas. I have never seen one outside.

    I echo what Jennifer said - only ever grown Amarylis indoors here - they were one of my mum's favourites. I love your Dianthus (we call them "Pinks" and I have one just like that to pop in a corner of my garden.) I love the Snapdragons too. There is also a wild variety in the UK and here in Wales, called Toadflax.

    What gorgeous flowers! Very pretty! You are so lucky to get red birds! We just don't have them here in Oregon and when I see them in pictures of people's yards, it blows me away! They are so pretty!

    Hugs, Sharon

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block.

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
