Keep on Watching

Hello again!! I am still awaiting the first arrival of hummingbirds! The feeders are hung on the hangers that my dad made years ago when they retired in Dover, Arkansas. I finally had to buy new feeders last summer because the ones my dad used had begun to show wear from the elements. He had them hanging from his sun room too. I love the ritual of getting the feeders out for the first time, making the syrup and then hanging them with anticipation. They make the sweetest sound a high pitched call and a loud buzz from their incredible wings!!



Here in Oklahoma we had an extremely windy day yesterday. It was strong wind, gusts to 45 miles an hour and then rain, hail and severe weather last night!!! We also might have snow flurries this weekend!!! When I heard that I said to myself "only in Oklahoma!!" I really wanted to plant flower's but I am glad I haven't yet with the temperature going into the 30's soon. There will be time enough for that!!

I am a Realtor & as I was driving papers out to a buyer to be signed this morning I noticed the abundant beauty of spring plants now in bloom! The beautiful redbud trees are in bloom, they are nearly the first to flower in spring the first are the bradford pears, there are yellow forsythia, white/pink crab apple, lovely wisteria, Iris, daffodil & tulips the list goes on & on!! The stark bare trees are beginning to put on leaves now. It is just a beautiful time of year. If our planet that has been ravaged by sin can remain this beautiful, I can't wait to see the new heavens and the new earth. I also can't wait to see heaven. It's almost more than I can put into words or really think about.



As we are watching the beauty of spring and waiting for the hummingbirds to return it also reminds me that we need to be watching and waiting for the Lords return. Only His children can have real peace and joy in their hearts when our country and world are in such a desperate place. We know that we are His and nothing can separate us from His love and protection. So go on, enjoy the beauty of spring and continue to watch and wait for Him. His peace sets us free to enjoy His creation, enjoy our lives that He has given us, no matter what might be going on around us. I know that this peace & joy that only comes from Him will open doors to share with others about our faith and why we are different (different in a good way!!:). As He gives us opportunity to share let's step out and take advantage of that time. Come quickly Lord Jesus!!We are truly blessed!!
