Joy In the Garden

Today I join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday.   For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live.  God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.

Joy comes in many forms.

And this day has the potential of
being just as grand as
celebrating the beauty in
the gifts of the garden.

I must be open to it!

Playing with photo
Finding depth in the bright flash
All becomes surreal 

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!!!

Cathy

Addendum:  Found there was too much gloom in the darkness in this post that started yesterday.  Changed the focus and found joy in the surreal when I came out of the darkness!!

Please visit Rebecca at recuerda mi corazon for Haiku My Heart. There is always more beautiful words  there to enchant and encourage!!! 

I'm also joining Lou Ceel at Haiku Friday.  Come play with words.  It's such a joy!!!

~Mosaic Monday~

Pictures of a time gone by, when the Shaw family would spend summer holidays at the cabin on Lake George, just northwest of Colorado Springs.  I can only imagine how beautiful it must have been.

Thanks be to God!

Please visit Mary and The Little Red House and Lisa for Macro Monday. Their pictures are grand and so are the pictures of others!

I would also like to remind you that Wednesday is Adventure Tour Express.  Be thinking about the adventure you would like to share on our journey together!
