Stray Noodles

 This ones for you mom! You finally got us all together in one place. So sorry you weren't here to see it. Missing you so much.

This was an amazing day! Following the loss of my husband, I found myself walking in a favorite park. As I looked around me all I could think was, why don't I have my camera with me? Everything was so beautiful. The next day I purposefully headed back to the park after my swim. To my dismay it had rained and a light fog hung in the air. Then something amazing happened. A woman - who was leaving the park as I was coming in - walked directly up to me and began giving me tips on how to take the best photos. She had the biggest lens I had ever seen on a camera, and I knew instantly that she was a professional. I expressed my concern over the fog and quickly learned from her that these were the best conditions to photograph in. I will always be grateful for her kind words that day. These photographs were the result, and while I may not be a professional I hope you will agree that they are pretty amazing. I am also thankful to a very gifted young woman, Amy Savin, for granting me ...

...can change another man's life. This is beautiful!!

DO THE NEXT THING A Prayer From an old English parsonage, Down by the sea, There came in the twilight, A message to me. It’s quaint Saxon legend, Deeply engraven, Hath, it seems to me, Teaching from heaven And through the hours, The quiet words ring, Like a low inspiration, Do the next thing. Many a questioning, Many a fear, Many a doubt, Hath it’s quieting here Moment by moment, Let down from heaven, Time opportunity, And guidance are given Fear not tomorrows, Child of the King Trust them with Jesus, Do the next thing. Oh He would have thee, Daily more free, Knowing the might, Of thy royal degree, Ever in waiting, Glad for His call, Tranquil and chastening, Trusting through all, Comings and goings, No turmoil need bring, His all the future, Do the next thing. Do it immediately, Do it with prayer, Do it reliantly, Casting all care, Do it with reference, Tracing His hand, Who hath plac...

Simply beautiful! Enough said.

Each Day at Sunrise Each day at sunrise, Father, Let me start by praising you, For all Thy many blessings. And in awe Thy wonders too. In honor and in glory, No matter what my story, In each new days unfolding, Let my thanks and love stay true. Each day dear Lord at sunrise, As the moon gives up its seat, Help me to ask a blessing, For each one I chance to meet. Brother, Sister, friend or foe, Let me to them Jesus show. Give my lips His sweet refrain, Of Thy mercy, grace, and peace. Written by Beverly Campbell Copyright August 22, 2017
