A Glimps of Heaven





First I need to thank all of you who posted encouraging comments on my previous post. I can report that for the moment things are better. Life with a rebellious child has some very profound downs that can be very painful to endure. I am very thankful that I have faithful sisters who hold me up when my strength wanes.


I am also more grateful than I can verbalize for our amazing Heavenly Father.


You see, we went to Callaway Gardens yesterday.


There were moments when the vistas before my eyes were almost too beautiful to comprehend. It was like being in heaven or receiving a very small glimpse of what it will be like.


It was breath taking. I so needed to be filled up with God and His creation. Step by step along each path there was a new sight to see.


At the end of our day we closed out visit at the butterfly house. It was full of people, but even with the crowds as I walked through the small enclosure with the butterflies darting around it was such a blissful experience. I felt the tears of joy welling up within me for how amazing this small moment was.



I had been so sad the day before and now I was surrounded by all the wonders of God’s creation. Who but God could have crafted such a beautiful spot and placed me in it at the perfect time.


Is God cool or what!

Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants.

God is awesome! I love it that the God of all creation, in His power and sovereignty, loves us and wants to comfort us in our pain - and that He'll use a tiny butterfly to whisper that to us. I'm so glad you had such a great day.

I stumbled across your blog via Broken Vessels that I vist on ocassion. Your pictures are absolutely gorgeous...breathtaking. I love the beauty God has created in nature and we are about to see the earth bloom in His fabulous beauty and color. I love the blooms of my cherry tree, pear tree, forsythias. I can't wait until the creeping flocks come in color. I just adore His color in nature...did I say that.

Come visit me sometime. I hope you'll be blessed as I feel the blog I've started is inspired by God and I want to use it for His glory to express Him and hopefully touch others. If you see the picture on my post from yesterday it is one of my trees in my yard. I don't know what it is but I've been told some form of cherry blossom.

Be Blessed~Paula

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...
