Sweet Sunday Blessings...

 As I was weeding and clipping in my front garden the other day..

I noticed a wide variety of the color purple..

From hanging baskets to pots.....

Along with the roses, vines and other flowers....

Lots of beautiful purples.....

In the Bible time and time again..

the color purple represents royalty....

The color, purple,

 is also found in many things pertaining to the tabernacle and temple.

 Often in the temple it was used in combination with other colors 

such as blue, red, gold, and white.

I have many of those colors in my garden too...

side note:  please ignore my clipping scissors in the pot...:)

Just keeping it real.....

How amazing that God would include all these beautiful colors

as a gentle reminder of Who He Is....

Jesus was clothed in purple as a sign of royalty,

but in mockery of His claim to be the promised Messiah

and heir to the throne of David...

You can read about that in Mark 15:17&20.

By the way...

I believe him to be the Kings of Kings......

One of my favorite scriptures which pertains to women.....

Is the Proverbs 31 passage...

It is referred to by many as the.....
"Proverbs 31 Woman" 

In this we can find a description 

of a "virtuous" woman of those days,

Virtuous: having or showing high moral standards.

Righteous, good, pure...

This is a challenge to women of God

of any age and time.....

One specific verse speaks of how she was clothed......

Proverbs 31:22

She makes her own bed coverings;
her clothing is fine linen and purple.

As women of God...

Just as a beautiful purple flower stands out among all the rest......

We were meant to "stand out"...

In a beautiful way.....

Our life a reflection of the Lord.....

Difficult in today's world... I mess up often...:( I do not always "stand out" as I should...... I am not perfect but daily being perfected..... Just seeking to serve my Lord with honor..... and hopefully.... Spreading a little purple as I go..... After all, I am "HIS" Princess... Blessings! PATTY

Sweet Sunday Scripture....

Each time I walk through my garden.....

I am reminded....

In every flower there is a message from God....

Take time to notice the details.....

Each little pedal........

The colors.....

Each beautiful flower is placed on just the perfect size stalk...

Holding each precious bloom.....

Providing food for the gentle tiny butterflies, 

bees and other tiny creatures..

I do not know each and every part of a flower....

I do know........

Each one is perfectly created......

Yes, 

The beauty of a flower 

is a great reminder from an Awesome God.....

He is Creator.......

He is in control.......

He is our provider....

He cares for every detail of our lives....

Luke 12:27-2

"Consider the lilies, 

how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 

but I tell you, 

not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

 "But if God so clothes the grass in the field, 

which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace,

 how much more will He clothe you?

Just wanted to remind you today.....

God loves you!

Blessings!

                                                        

Sweet Sunday Blessings!

As I look out of my front windows...

This is what I see...

A beautiful sky..

Green rolling pastures....

and cows....

Lots and lots of cows.....

My mind takes my heart to a wonderful reminder in Scripture....

For all the animals of the forest are mine,

and I own the cattle on a thousand hills.

Psalm 50:10

 NLT

A reminder to those who serve the Lord...

Who Follow His Commands..

By obeying His Word....

Allowing Him to move them into a life of faith..

Obediently following Him..

Wherever He may Lead...

Knowing He will Provide 

All they may need......

Pretty Amazing!

Sweet Sunday Blessings!

I Plead "Busy"ness......

Wow! 

Has it been almost 2 months since my last post...

Shame on me........

Here...

Beautiful flowers...

Just for you....

and a big ...

I am sorry......

No, I did not pass on....

No injuries or diseases.....

Just lots of projects...

New ministry opportunities..

And...

Just life Happening.....

I plead "busy"ness....

Maybe a few "project pics" will help my case.......

This is our "almost" finished pergola....

Pergola: an archway in a garden or park 

1. consisting of a framework 
2. covered with trained climbing 
3. or trailing plants.
4. 
   

 This one still needs paint....

Or maybe not...

What do you think?

Let me know....

I have lots of flowers hanging and planted all around...

But no climbing vines....

Yet...

But someday soon.....

 I hope you have noticed my white porch swing in the background...

Just in case you missed it....

Here is another view......

and please...

check out my wonderful blue rockers...

Sweet!

can you see the old brick flooring?

Love!

Lets not talk about all the mulching and weed pulling I have yet to do..

That is the type of "busy"ness I hate.....

No, lets focus on the old porcelain tub I turned into a great fountain....

(with the help of my hubby...shshshhhhh)

I want you to think I did this all by my little self.....

Don't you just love the sound of running water....

Especially as you rock or swing away all your cares....

It is coming together....

"slowly but surely"......

as we say here in Kentucky....

Yes, I think this project is coming together nicely....

Thanks ladies for all your encouragement to come back....

I will be visiting all of you too..

Meanwhile.....

More Pretty flowers

 just for you....

Wonderful Flower filled Blessings to all of you!
