The valuable, the beautiful, and the noble

Much is required of us. Our days are filled with many tasks that can sometimes seem mundane and of little worth, but if we can grasp the incredible truth of what sacrificial service really means, then our entire outlook will be transformed. When done for the Lord, the commonplace will become noble, the prosaic will become beautiful, and the unimportant will become valuable."

Real Life

The great thing, if one can,

 is to stop regarding all the unpleasant
 things as interruptions of one’s own or real life.

The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life – the life God is sending day by day. ~C.S. Lewis

The gumpaste flowers..where they ended up..

The beautiful cake with the gumpaste topper.

 Ana with the topper and side gumpaste flowers.

 The bride's entrance... escorted by her dad.

 Check the bride's bouquet............. 

Check out the bridesmaids' bouquets around-about

the wedding cake.

They all match.

A Trip ...

Can you find at least one hint in either of these pictures 

 of our destination state?

The Importance of Our Choices Each Day

A lovely wedding we recently attended!

 The setting..

 Quiet wonder..

  

Ready and waiting..

The joining...

 Afterwards...

.......................................

There are a good many things which would not be worth bothering about

if I were going to live only 70 years,

but which I had better bother about very seriously

 if I am going to live forever.

A Quote

Fall

 Walking down our driveway with the little dogs.

 Some leaves near the house in the early morning light.

Later in the day...

We have many trees around our home and therefore many leaves to rake. We have enjoyed the pleasant fall weather the Lord has given us this year.
