Friendship

“Oh, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pour them all out, as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.” Dinah Mulock Craik

Practicing the Presence of God

He is always near you and with you. Do not leave Him by Himself. You would think it uncivil to leave a friend by himself who was visiting you. Why abandon God and leave Him by Himself? ~Brother Lawrence

Mother Teresa Quote

Thoughtfulness is the beginning of great sanctity. If you learn this art of being thoughtful, you will become more and more Christlike, for His heart was meek and always thought of others.

Beauty in Bloom

Of all the various wildflowers I've discovered this summer, the Turk's-cap Lily is by far my favorite. Its flaming orange hues dotted with maroon freckles, and gracefully curved petals, give this charming perennial a spectacular bloom.

We first spotted this exceptional plant along the banks of Pine Creek and later observed it growing on the rich wooded slopes opposite the Creek.

I'm reading that this flower is a bit rare...so I am so delighted to have come across several in the wild.

Thoughtful Quote

Then, without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day; of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong. ~Anne Frank
