Stripes

It rained this evening. As always, the sunset is so much more beautiful after rain. Here are the pictures in the order that I snapped them. Brilliant blue and pink stripes.

“Sing to God a thanksgiving hymn, play music on your instruments to God, Who fills the sky with clouds, preparing rain for the earth…”

Psalm 147

The Fireworks

Come along and watch the fireworks that we set off for the Fourth Of July. They were great!

The kitties were frightened, and would peek around the basement door every once in awhile.

But when the fireworks were over, they got a lot of comforting!

“But his cloud-brightness burst through, a grand comet of fireworks. Then God thundered out of heaven; the High God gave a great shout.”

2 Samuel 22

Fourth Of July 2016

Scenes from our Fourth celebration.

We set off smoke bombs!

We made "snakes"

The kids set off party poppers

We ate red, white, and blue rocket pops

And we had sparklers!

On my next post, I will show you our fireworks!!

“God pays for each slave’s freedom; no one who runs to him loses out.”

Psalm 34

Flag At Sunset

I was in the right place at the right time. And almost too hypnotized to even start snapping!Wishing each of you a wonderful holiday weekend! And remember to be extra careful on the road, watching for others.

“God spoke to Moses and Aaron. He said, “The People of Israel are to set up camp circling the Tent of Meeting and facing it. Each company is to camp under its distinctive tribal flag.”

Numbers 2

Clean Water Mural

This is a mural for clean water that we found in downtown Charlottesville. I do not know who or what company made it. But I like it. And of course there were wires in front of it, darn the luck! I think my favorite thing about it is the little squirrel driving the tractor. I also love the colors, so vibrant.

 “Listen—the fish in the ocean will tell you their stories. Isn’t it clear that they all know and agree that God is sovereign, that he holds all things in his hand— Every living soul, yes, every breathing creature?” 

Job 12

Fourth Of July House

There is a house in this area, and they really decorate for the Fourth Of July holiday! It is amazing, all the things they have in their yard and on their house! I have to wonder if they have many children or grandchildren, and it's for them. So, here is the house and it's decorations!

“Worship God in adoring embrace, celebrate in trembling awe.”

Psalm 2

Flip-Flop Wreath

While we were driving through the neighborhood, I spotted this front door with a flip-flop wreath on it. Nothing says SUMMER better than flip-flops!

“God said, “Don’t come any closer. Remove your sandals from your feet. You’re standing on holy ground.”

Exodus 3
