In the clouds.

One of my favorite early childhood books is from author and illustrator Charles Shaw’s book It Looked Like Spilt Milk. Since I was a child my mind can get in the clouds and I dream. I dream of what was, what is and what is to come. I see images in clouds. The clouds become a Great Pyrenees dog. Recently I saw an angel with outstretched wings and the sun shining through it. Today the clouds provided me with an image of angel hair blowing in the wind.

Watching the clouds and imaging what God has is store for me reminds me of Psalm 91:4 – He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Psalm 91:4

Today I am grateful for:

  1. God’s shadow is close to me and I can rest in Him
  2. My mom’s love for August Beauty gardenia bushes.
  3. Moving mom’s gardenia bushes to my front flower beds.
  4. Blue skies.
  5. Warm temperatures.
  6. A place to cook, clean and live.
  7. Arkansas.
  8. Texas.
  9. New Jersey.
  10. Nebraska.
