Simple Lovelies


Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.  Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Matthew 5:11-12 NIV

I love daisies...any kind but especially the wild ones.  We have fields of daisies around us on our drive to town.  We pick them on our walks and enjoy them as decorations on our table. 
 Oh, lovely Autumn!
We are so blessed.

One definition of the word "blessed" is happy.  It's worth reading it in the Amplified Bible (one I'm not able to quote here because of copyright laws but here's the link: Bible Gateway.)  I'll reword some of it's meaning...joy of life, being satisfied in God's love and care for us even when things around us are not as we desire.

When things are not as you wish, look for the Simple Lovelies.
