I woke up this morning happy to have another day with my family, feeling very blessed to be alive.
No, I am not sick, (well, not that I know of anyway. :)) but my heart was heavy with the love and gratitude I felt for what I have been given in life.
Grateful for the clouds in the sky. We live in the desert, and so clouds are a gift. Rain? Even better still.
Just look at the lovely sky....Thank you God.
With my heart so full it wanted to burst, I gave thanks for all the fresh fruit I had, right in my own backyard.
Grateful for fruit that has yet to come. (if you look closely, you will see tiny little limes just beginning their lives.)
Grateful for a nectarine tree in bloom and all the bees that follow.
A desert hibiscus in full bloom....
Roses, with their sweet fragrance and beautiful blooms.
In full bloom, an aloe plant, great for burns.
Grateful for a full hummingbird feeder just waiting for life and the joy it brings.
Ah, but most of all, I am grateful for the opportunity to yet again, say THANK YOU LORD for another lazy Sunday.
