Happy Saturday Morning!
Mommie is typing this on Friday night, but she said we won't let you see it until tomorrow morning, so it will be Saturday when you read this. So that is why I said "Happy Saturday Morning" even though it is still Friday!
Anyway, today, (Friday), was a "bright, sunny, yellow kind of day".
I think, according to the weather report for Saturday on Mommie's phone, it will be a cloudy, rainy, cold and dreary kind of a day, so this little bit of bright sunny yellow should make your day happier!
I hope so!
For my dear identical cousin Tracie and her Mommie Auntie Debbi and their new friend Amybelle, I wanted you to see these pretty yellow "Carolina Jessamine" flowers again. They are blooming so brightly right now! They are growing all over the little fence next to our house and in the trees, and well, just everywhere we look! They are SO pretty! I wanted you to see them, because they must have come from "Carolina", where you live!
And then, we saw something else so pretty and yellow all day long! Mommie bought a new sock full of finch seeds because the other one was almost empty, so she actually bought a bigger one this time because we have SO many bright yellow pretty Goldfinches eating here every day!
They even like to drink from Bobby the Squirrel's bird bath!
They hang upside down and all around this sock, and they actually fight for a place on here to eat!
Can you imagine fighting for a place to eat on a sock? I thought that was kind of funny!
The birds are starting to get more brightly colored every day. Mommie says they do that in the spring, especially the male Goldfinches.
Some even wait in the trees for their turn on the sock feeder:
Isn't this a pretty one?
Uh Oh! Mr. Great Blue Heron came tip toeing along the shore of Still Waters Pond today, in the bright sunlight! Mommie says most of the time he comes earlier in the morning or late afternoon, and we rarely see him in the bright sunny part of the day. We hope he isn't looking for our little birds...that would not be very nice. We will keep a watch on him. Even if he is pretty, and has a bright yellowish golden bill!
He sure has a long neck!
Mr. or Mrs. Bluebird did not come out of their house while Mr. Heron was about...
Here is something else that is kind of bright, sunny yellow: The sunset!!! The sun was going down down down behind those trees, and it was a bright golden yellow ball...so bright we couldn't look at it with our bare eyes. But it sure was pretty!
And here is something else that has some pretty yellow on it. Today's special prayer/verse card:
Mommie said she is going to change these every day...or then again, she is thinking maybe she should just change it every week, and try to memorize the verse. She's not sure which yet, but I think it is a good idea to have a new verse each day to think about and pray and share with our friends here.
What do YOU think?
Mommie said the main thing is to read the verse and then to do whatever it says to do. In this case, we are to
"Be JOYFUL in HOPE",
which means to be filled will joy while we hope for the things God has promised to do for us, even when we may not see those things happen right away.
"Be PATIENT in affliction",
which means that even when we may be hurting or sad, or waiting for healing, that we should be patient and wait on God and not give up hope.
"BE FAITHFUL in PRAYER"
means to keep on praying, even when we don't see the answers to our prayers as soon as we had hoped.
We should keep trusting God and keep praying
and never give up hope!
I think those are some good things to remember, don't you? The easy way to remember it for me is like they are special little honey bees:
BEE JOYFUL,
BEE PATIENT,
BEE FAITHFUL.
And I can imagine that if we follow those special little "bees",
we will BEE Happy!!
I hope you have a bright sunny yellow and happy kind of a day
wherever you are! Even if it is raining...BEE HAPPY!
Bye Bye for now!
Love,
Lily Grace
