We all need a shoulder to lean on, maybe even cry on in hard times. I recommend Someone who has really broad shoulders. He is experienced at helping people in crisis. He is always available; never too busy. He invites us to call on Him for help. He has promised to be there for us in our time of need. We don't need to do it on our own.

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

I wanted to share a few photos taken in my garden this summer. The flowers may seem ordinary, but when viewed up close, their intricate beauty inspires a sense of awe and gratitude to the One who gave us such simple things to enjoy.
At a time when everything seems more complicated than ever and on the verge of falling apart, it is simply the real Truth that brings me back to the peace I’m seeking.
Jesus said to him, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”
John 14:6 AMP
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence or anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Philippians 4:7-9 NASB
Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always].
Colossians 3:15 AMP

Then Jesus said, Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens and I will give you rest.

You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call on you.

We will tell the next generation
the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,
his power,
and the wonders he has done.
Psalm 78:4 NIV
Who, being in very nature God,
Philippians 2:6-8 NIV
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
For by grace you have been saved through faith.
And this is not your own doing;
it is the gift of God.
Ephesians 2:8 ESV

I’m so thankful for good memories, ones that warm my heart and remind me that God has been good to me. These pictures bring a smile to my face so thought I’d share them with you.
This one reminds me of all the work and love that I put into my garden. I love spending time getting my hands dirty, planting the new seedlings, and watching it grow. I look forward every spring to doing it all over again and seeing the fruit of my labor.
This one reminds me of summers gone by, over 12 years ago, when the boys were young and I still carried my youngest around on my hip. Those days were busy, trying to keep two little boys out of trouble, but they were precious years too.
