A Season For Everything

Written by Joy
A Season For Everything
Ecclesiastes 3

A Time for Everything

1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 
2 a time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; 
3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up; 
4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 
5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 
6 a time to seek, and a time to lose;a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 
7 a time to tear, and a time to sew;a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 
8 a time to love, and a time to hate;a time for war, and a time for peace.
You can find me over at Seeds of Faith today.  I hope you will join me!

Multitude Monday #501-510

Last week I made it to the half way mark of 1000 gifts. I am truly looking forward to the next 500 and then to keep on going. Life is full of blessings and gifts from God. He fills up our days with little blessings. We just have to take the time to see them. I am going to do my best to slow down a little more during the day to look for those little gifts that surround me. Won’t you join me on this journey?

501. Today, on October 3rd, my husband and I are celebrating 19 years of marriage. How can we be celebrating 19 years? By the grace of God. God has been with us from the beginning. So thankful and blessed to of have had this time with my husband. Looking forward to spending many more years with him.

502. A lunch for two.

503. A quiet drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway with my husband.

504. Heart to heart talk with the one I love.

505. The mountain views.

506. A pastor teaching the truth from the bible.

507. Fellowship time with the couples bible study class.

508. My older children helping and mentoring to my younger children.

509. A sweet discussion time with other homeschool moms.

510. Being able to raise my voice in song to praise and worship God!

A Ride On The Blue Ridge Parkway

A Ride On The Blue Ridge Parkway

Yesterday, my husband and I went for a ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We were celebrating a couple of days early our 19th wedding anniversary. We were married the first Saturday of October, which was the 3rd in 1992. Since we moved to the mountains 6 1/2 years ago, we started this little tradition. I must say, I look forward to it every year. We always try to get a few pictures of the mountains, as the leaves are just starting to change colors in this area. Below are a few pictures that we were able to get on this trip. It was truly a beautiful day. The sun was so bright, that it was hard at times to get pictures that would truly do the mountains any justice.

We started our drive in Asheville, NC, around mile marker 393 and traveled to Balsam Gap at mile marker 443.

Below is Looking Glass Rock. So named because it reflects light brilliantly when water and ice are on the rock’s granite face.

The next few pictures are near the area of Graveyard Fields.

I love how the sun is caught in the corner of this picture.

I love stopping here and watching the water flow over the rocks.  The waterfalls are beautiful.

I love how the shadows dance across the mountains.  As the clouds move, it gives a different look in the matter of minutes.

In the next couple of weeks, there will be a lot more color and I can’t wait to get out there and take more pictures.

God sure does know how to paint a beautiful picture.  His creation is so awesome.  So thankful He has allowed us to love in this area.
