"Lord, this humble house we'd keep, sweet with play and calm with sleep. Help us so that we may give beauty to the lives we live. Let Thy bounty and Thy grace shine upon our dwelling place." E. A. Guest

Sunday grazing

Coming around a bend on the way home from our Sunday drive, we chanced upon this pleasant scene of sheep grazing beside the blossoming apple orchard.
So peaceful..
So simple..
A serendipitous moment of grace!
 "I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the the mountains of Israel."

Be content..

Simplicity brings freedom from the endless tyranny of worldly possessions.
Simplicity brings freedom from the constant fear of losing material accumulations.
Simplicity brings freedom from the driving urge to compete by collecting.
Simplicity brings freedom from the greedy desire to gain simply for gain's sake only.
Simplicity brings freeedom from the vain and prideful search for ego-stroking status.
Simplicity brings freedom....
peace
and joy!
"let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." Hebrews 13:5

Simple Joys~ sunshine

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a day that I could give you
I'd give to you a day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way


Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a tale that I could tell you
I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
Sunshine almost all the time makes me high
Sunshine almost always..
