in late fall I brought in this tomatoe plant that just
seemed to refuse to die!
The tomatoes are finally turning color!


THANK YOU, DIANE!!
for this very thoughtful, kind
gift of warm knitted items!
It will be so much appreciated!


For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does He withhold from those whose
walk is blameless.
O Lord Almighty,
blessed is the man who trusts in You.

What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world,
yet forfeits his soul?
Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
For the Son of Man is going to come
in his Father's glory with his angles,
and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.
Matt. 16:26-27

and peace there will be no end.

"The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed,

yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants
and becomes a tree,
so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches."
