Inspired by . . . a month in photos: March
March has been a lion! And with only two days left this month, I’m hoping it does indeed go out like a lamb. Looking back over the month, I can see why I’m so tired.
I wanted to post this yesterday. But we were gone all day, and so here I am posting on Palm Sunday when I should be talking about other things. Events that happened over 2000 years ago, that I’m processing anew today. So I’ll write about them later. And maybe that will be okay.
March was, again, a month of settling into the new. Accepting grief. Learning it’s boundaries. Testing them. I know that makes it sound like a tangible thing.
Some days it is.
But March was also a month of digging deeper with God. Using His word as the Lamp on my path. Continuing the journey.
Finding JOY. Every day. Deliberately seeking it out.
Spring arrived somewhere along the way. I reJOYice as I watch God dress-up His world in new frocks of green, and paint the roadsides and meadows with orange, blue and yellow. He’s still hard at work, He has only just begun.
So here is March. From ice crystals to the return of the Hummingbirds.
Favorite photo of the month:

there is something of the Marvelous.

Sprinklings of God’s mercy and grace:
1. Fish therapy - we have a new aquarium - so tranquil
2. Sunshine and blue sky
3. Planting pansies - love their happy faces
4. Quiet walks
5. Inspiration and encouragement from His word
When you look back at March,
what do you see?
Blessings,
June
