The middle of this flower has so much going on that I had to give it this title!

"However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"-- (NIV, 1 Corinthians 2.9)

I look forward to what God has prepared for me in this life and in eternity!  It does seem uneasy at times, especially when I have come to a place in my life where my future is so uncertain!  This uncertain time in my life has made me focus on living day to day because I don't really even know what next week will bring!  But, God is in control, so I am at peace!

I went through a lot to take this photo.  I saw this duck sitting at the end of a dock and wanted to take some photos.  I didn't want to scare him, so slowly I inched closer to him.  I wasn't completely satisfied with the angle of my shots, so I sat down on the dock which had duck poop all over it.  I wanted to get even closer, so I scooted from a seated position closer and closer.....across the poop covered dock and all.  The things I will do to get just the right shot!

Hidden Beauty

I never thought I would see beauty in a cactus until I saw these.

There was just a simple beauty about them.

 

I guess you would say they had a hidden beauty that you would not see until you really look.

Celebrating Jesus' Birth Through Ornaments

Since we are celebrating Christmas, I thought I would change my blog for today to reflect Jesus' birth.  It ties together because He is the one who allows me to see through His eyes. 

 I have enjoyed making wooden ornaments through the years.  My favorites happen to be the ones that celebrate the birth of Jesus.

"And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger....

"And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.  And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear.  And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."  (ESV, Luke 2.8-11)

"But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart."  (ESV, Luke 2:19)

 I hope you have a blessed and Merry CHRISTmas! 

Merry CHRISTmas!

It is called a trumpet flower because it resembles a trumpet when it is open:)

The highlight of my cruise was swimming with the dolphins!

This is a photo of me and my daughter "dancing" with the dolphins. Can you tell from the expressions on our faces that we are having fun?

Me kissing my dolphin.

Me getting a hug from my dolphin.

Getting a kiss from my dolphin!

The one thing I enjoyed the most was being pushed by the dolphins in the water!  I had two dolphins push me by my feet through the water.  My son was an excellent photographer!!

My dad sent my entire family and our extended family on a cruise to the Bahamas for Thanksgiving!  There were twenty-two of us all together.  We had a blast:)

 

  As we were headed out of port, I noticed the biggest rainbow I have ever seen in my life.  

 

The shrimp boat will give you some perspective.
 

  God is good:)
