Looking Forward

When winter has been long or dreery or raining a lot, I like to think about Spring and sometimes I even add a little spring decorating to the home to lift the spirits. Even though we have had a mild winter, I still love to think of the warmer weather coming and all the beautiful flowers that come with it.  I also like to think about vacation. Our family is in the process of planning a summer vacation. I am not sure where we will go but we are tossing around a few ideas. Hawaii keeps coming up. ;)

Just give me the beach and a beach home with a private pool and that is all I need. Vacation should be all about relaxing. A few things I am looking forward to soon: 

 Grilling Out

 Vacation

 Vacation. :))

 Spring Flowers

 Greek Salad with fresh produce from the Farmers Market

 Feta and Olive oil to go with the Greek Salad

 Kentucky Derby

Big Ole Hats for the Derby

At times we can all get so tired of long seasons of waiting or trials that seem like they will do us in but that is the exact time we need to find our quiet place and sit at Jesus' feet and allow Him to be our place of quiet retreat. Vacations are wonderful but they come to an end and then we come back to reality and back to our daily routines. With God we are promised if we keep focused on Him, he will keep our minds in perfect peace.

In   Ps. 119:113 it says this: You're my place of quiet retreat; I wait for your Word to renew me.

If you need renewal, revived, make Jesus your place of quiet retreat and ask Him to renew you in His Word. 

I hope you are having a wonderful week!
