A Sweet Morning on the Porch

Good Morning Sweet Friends,

How is your morning or day going???

I have just come from my favorite place to be

on a cool morning..... well,  cool for Florida anyway.

Our back porch,  I simply love love love sitting out

there and spending time reading the bible,  praying

and then watching and listening.

  I asked the Lord for some special wildlife this morning

and right away my cat, Molly, came in and wanted to be

 petted,  lol, and I said Lord, that wasn't quite what I 

expected, maybe He thinks I am taking her for granted

 and not appreciating her the way I should!!  lol 

Then along came a dragonfly, I think they are so pretty, 

love the shade of blue, and their double wings, 

 they remind me of a lil helicopter,  and also of a character

 in the Disney movie "Rescuers", I think it was, his name

 was "Evinrude", and he was a dragon fly as well,

we went to see that movie when I was pregnant with

 our son over 33 yrs. ago!!  Amazing the things that

 trigger your memory.  I remember Jim and I both

saying I think we are gonna love being parents 

cause it will give us an excuse to go to all these

kiddie movies!!  lol

Then along came  2 pretty orange butterflys chasing after

 one another,  then a yellow b-fly  flitting about,  I was trying

 to watch the paths of all these neat insects but it was

 almost dizzying to watch them, they are so fast.   

Then came a female cardinal and a dove,  and also

all morning I had heard the sounds, calls and chirpings

of various birds,  all delightful in their own right.

I love that I can sit outside for a bit and just watch

and listen and see God's creation, for it reminds me of

 how good He is to us,  to give us all these delightfully

special gifts (that you can't tack a dollar bill to, as my 

dad used to say).  

For they recharge my batteries and energize me

and fill my soul with warmth and gratitude,  and

refresh my spirit,  with peace and tranquility,  and

lets me know it is good to be still,  just like the 

scripture that says,

 " Be Still and Know that I am God"

Hope you are having a delightful day today!!

But If not,

 take some time to be Still,  you want regret it!!

Warm Cozy Hugs and Blessings,

Nellie
