Spring Is Definately Here!!!!

It took so long for the warm weather to reach us here in good ol SC.... But now that it has I think we went straight to summer! We reached 87 yesterday and are suppose to be in the 80's all week! Ya!!!! I am a summer girl.... I love the heat!!! I said I was ready to skip the 60's and 70's and go straight for the 80's and we have!

My yard is in bloom! I have more daffodils this year then any other. I have picked many bouquets and still have plenty left. My tree's are in bloom too... still waiting on the dogwood though. I think it is waiting for the perfect day..... Easter maybe? ;0) they say that Jesus' cross was made out of dogwood. Ever heard that story of how the flowers look like they have a cross in the middle out of the color of blood???? Here are a few pics. I took over the weekend. Hope you enjoy them!

Mom (Nana) said...: Mary Ann,
Your flowers are so beautiful. Don't
you just love spring! The only thing
I don't like is the pollen covering
everything. You can't wash it off. It
just covers everything again. Oh, well it will be gone soon. Then every
thing will be pretty again.
Keep up the great photography work or
should I say to quote Sara Ava -be
a retard taking pictures. (That was
funny)
Love ya bunches!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Verses that really spoke to me and helped me get through our adoptions.

(John 14:18) " I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you."

(Isaiah 43:5-6) "Do not be afraid, for I am with you,
I will bring your children from the west. Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth."

(Proverbs 25:25) "As cold water is to a thirsty soul : so is good
news from a far country."

(Matthew 6:25-34) The do not worry chapter.
This is the chapter that told me we would adopt again and the
baby girl woud be named Lily (Lilee). "The lilies of the field".
This is a great reminder of why we should not worry, God will take care of his people!

(Psalms 82: 3-4) "Defend the cause of the weak and the fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Resue the weak and neady; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."

(Psalms 68: 5) "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling."

(Deuteronomy 10:18) " He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow and loves the alien, giving them food and clothing."

(Philippians 4:13) "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."

(Philippians 4:6-7) " Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present
your request to God. And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

(Romans 8:28) " And we know that all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

(James 1:27) "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their destress, and to keep oneself from being polluted from by the world."
