Love Is...

no matter what...

I married one of those keepers...

Joining Marydon for a Love Is love fest!

go check out this sweet lady...

sun rise on the prairie...

it was awesome waking up to a 67 degree morning and spending it watching this happen...

so we headed over here to work before the winds came in...

this started out like this...

and ended up like this...

and this started like this...

and ended like this...

an on to the next job...

and the next...

level the bricks again and fill the bird bath...

done...

I also cleaned off the potting table, ate brunch and then DH and I took a short drive around town...

got one photo and the batteries went dead...

but it was fun and so much blooming!

Craig just left for Charleston to work on my booth...

Dollar Tree run for easter eggs...

and back home by 4PM...

we could get some nasty storms later on...

praying for all of those who were in the tornadoes last night...

and the hail and strong winds...

those who are homeless now...

things can change so quickly in our lives...

makes you enjoy what you have while you have it...

nothing here is forever...

I hope all of you are safe and sound...

that you weathered the storms...

Hugs- Tete

are you in a drought?

are you walking through a drought in your life?

have all God's blessings dried up for you?

are you unsure about today?

are you in pain?

do you have a broken heart?

do you feel like God isn't listening anymore?

how good is your root system?

is your faith deep?

or are your roots in God shallow?

freshly planted?

any garden, too well tended, to well watered, too well blessed...

produces shallow roots...

things look well on top...

but under it all, where it really counts...

the root system is almost non existent...

the roots do not need to grow deep because the blessings of water is constant...

you have to let the soil dry out for many days before you water again...

so you produce long roots and stronger plants...

so when the storms come and the winds blow...

the plant survives...

it is not torn from the soil and tossed about...

to later die when the sun comes out again...

God sends droughts in our lives...

not to punish...

to make our roots longer...

stronger...

able to withstand the storms of life...

the heart ache...

the pain...

all the little dry spells he blesses us with are just getting us ready for the storm coming...

and sometime in our lives, there are going to be thunder storms...

but, if we plant our faith deep in Him...

and let our roots grow long and deep...

and we keep close to Him in our walk...

we will weather the storms...

and we will not be pulled from our faith...

nothing will shake us loose...

and he will send his blessings again...

and his love will shine brighter than before...

because everything you go through together brings you closer to Him...

if you are in a drought...

remember, He's not forgotten you...

He is making you stronger...

and He knows when you need the rain...

today's blessings...

our red maple...

scare crow moved and the thermometer is not right at all...

time to get a new one...

the park bench will come in handy for me this summer...
