Lookin' Out My Window

I get up in the mornin', singing "Glory, glory",
And then I got to thank Him for seein' one more day.
Lookin' out my window, the sun is shinin' brightly,
The trees are standin' tall, ain't it good to be so free!

If you haven't guessed it yet, I'm grateful today for my home. Jeff and I became first time home owners in our late 40's (proving that all things truly are possible with God). After years of renting and no savings, we didn't expect to be able to buy a home much less one as nice as this! Yet, the Lord brought just the right people across our path to make this little house our home. Every time I look out my window and see the beautiful flowers on my deck, or the wildlife that travels through my back yard I'm driven to say "Thank you" once again to Lord for bringing us here. Some of the shots in this picture were taken for previous days, but the sunburst in the lower left, the pansies, and the shots of my deck were all taken today. Each and every one of these pictures are of things I see from the windows of my house. I am so grateful!

It all looks lovely! I especially like the deer running, the pansies, the great shot of the mushrooms, and the trees in the fog. Very nicely put together!

[Remco Greutink]

Beautiful collage, that looks great!

@roejan @remcogreutink Thanks Roe Jan- that little fawn was so cute- did you notice that the picture with the birdhouse in it also has a deer? She was practically coming up on the deck! Thank you Remco for the uplifting words! I do appreciate your faithful comments.

Can I come live at your place? Beautiful!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@kkauter Kerrie you are welcome to come anytime!

[Kerrie Kauter]

@olivetreeann may take you up on that offer if we make it to the US in November.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I would absolutely love it!!!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@kkauter (forgot to hit the reply button!) I would absolutely love to have a visit from you!!!

[Kerrie Kauter]

@olivetreeann keep us in prayer please. We have friends that moved to Atlanta last year to plant a church and we want to visit them, so we are praying that we can organise it. Thanks!

[Flydragon]

Each of the individual shots are so beautiful, and together the collage is quite stunning!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@flydragon Thank you so much for the follow and all your kind words- they mean so much to me!

[Barbara Lamacki]

Another beautiful collage. I too am grateful for the blessings He has given us. I need to remember that more often.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@nanascraps Thank you Barbara- I really like doing the collages. It's probably related to photoscrapbooking which I enjoy doing as well. (And don't worry- you're not the only one who needs to be reminded to be more grateful- I do too!)
