Daffodils

At home we have a vase full of Daffodils that mom picked in the fields today, a favorite thing she loves to do, pick flowers... I took the picture on the left when she was enjoying the moment! These beautiful yellow and white flowers are a sign of nature that a new season arrived.

Happy Easter

A decision enters in the wise category when we devote careful consideration to the alternatives available to us and it becomes inspired when we prayerfully take what we consider the best option and counsel with the Lord in prayer before we take a final route.
