Wednesday "Birds"

Wednesday "Birds"

There is much wonder and joy in a birds song.....
In the beginning God created the world! His love reached out and provided us with costless joys through our 5 senses. Hear a song, see colour, smell a flower, feel life, taste fruit. While I sit here writing I can hear the birds. Their endless chatter begins early in the morning as they raid our flowering front trees and carries on during the day. Delectably enjoying sweet luscious mandarins unreachable by us outback in our tree. Kookaburra's ignite in laughter when something tickles and the magpie, variates between a yodel and a song. My husband Raymond grabs his camera to capture a moment in time as a bird entertains unknowingly. What a sad world it would be without birds and colour. Without flowers and fruit for them to feed off.
Without a heart that feels the joy and without a camera to capture and hold the moment.

Tuesday "My sister"

Standing on our driveway I watched as the caravan and car carrying my sister turn the corner and disappeared from sight. A week together of sharing, talking and laughter was over as if they had never been. All that was left were the tyre imprints from her 4wd left on the side lawn. My sister Janiece has been the mainstay of my life. She is my best friend and a rock of Christian faith. Almost 6 years my senior it is she who has encouraged me in my darkest hours and lighten my heartaches with her words of wisdom. Married to Max for 45 years they walk together holding hands like a couple on honeymoon. Still in love, each thinking and helping to balance the other. Yet life hasn't been perfect for her, she has had her own tribulations. When the storms of life have buffeted she has simply sat at the feet of Jesus rubbed His feet lovingly with salve and refreshed her own soul. I love and salute my precious sister and I thank God for giving her to me. She is a rich blessing, a jewel, and a shining star.
