Earth Day!
The Lord blessed our Earth Day with summer tanagers, a female Baltimore Oriole, male and female hooded orioles, a robin, a hermit thrush, and a male grosbeak. So excited to see two new species--the hermit thrush and hooded orioles.

The Solar Eclipse
Thinking about the solar eclipse today. My memory work is Psalm 40 this year, and verse 5 seems so appropriate.
"Many, O LORD, my God, are the wonders which you have done, and your thoughts toward us. There is none to compare with You."
And thinking about the darkness coming this afternoon, I remembered verses in Psalm 139 that I memorized years ago:"If I say surely the darkness will hide me, and the light become night around me, even the darkness will not be dark to You...for darkness is as light to You. For you created my inmost being...."
Verses like these mean so much. Keeps my mind sound and my heart and soul aware of the great love and compassion God has for us.

Statue from the 1970's
I gave this little statue to my husband when we were going together back in the 1970's. I wasn't crazy about the eyes (still not) but I loved the sentence. All teenage couples have their problems, and we certainly had ours. But we knew that God had brought us together, and we were both committed to working things out. That commitment continued into our marriage. Almost five decades later, we still love each other and we're still working together, along with the Lord, to solve whatever problem arises. As Scripture says, "Love never fails." When you bring God into your relationships, He will never fail to help you.
