It was a real battle to get my dear bro from Africa here to our little city from Chicago where he’d been holding some meetings with a pastor there who is also a very dear friend of ours. One of our other friends from North Carolina had some health issues arise and couldn’t make it so it’s been very interesting. None the less we get a breather come Saturday and hope to have the day with him which we are very excited about. Life hands you lemons…make lemonade!
Back to the fields..yes, that’s the title. Visiting the little stores in the tiny dot’s sometimes called towns here in Montana is something I actually enjoy
Lovely pics,Joe! Very Inspiring blog, Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe familiar soothes the soul somehow like touching the comforts of the past. Beautiful photos and verse. Thanks for sharing my friend. I wish you a fun and inspiring time with your friend visiting from Africa.
ReplyDeleteWe share that feeling out in the open or just around God's pure beauty that He created for our enjoyment. I know He notices when we enjoy and give thanks each day for the gift of life and joy.
ReplyDeleteMontana was attractive to the early settler until they experienced the bitterness of winter. Cattle died and so did crops. There had to be changes.
ReplyDeleteThe glory of God walks in the land, sharing its beauty.
Hi Joe,
ReplyDeleteYour title is perfect in that is what I see when I view the land , sea and sky though your lens is peace and Stillness.

If we just look beyond our noses we see God everwhere. The pictures are awesome.
ReplyDeleteIf we just look beyond our noses you can't help but see God everywhere. The pictures are awesome.
ReplyDeleteGod should be present in everything we see or do.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures Joe.
love the pictures , hope you have a great visit with your friend,
ReplyDeleteThe great pictures.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.
Hello Joe,
ReplyDeleteHope you are having or have had a very blessed visit.
Your post is apt in many ways for me today, I feel I am being handed a lot of lemons, so I must remember to make the lemonade.
Although my daughter and grandson are no longer in plaster, they have many needs and problems, as do other members of my family, medical and otherwise and I feel today rather burdened, I know I must hand it over and I am trying to. So off to try and make some lemonade and remember, that there will be new mercies for the challenges of tomorrow (thank you for that, needed to hear it)
God Bless - Nita
Hope you are enjoying your time with your South African Brother, certainly something that doesn't happen everyday....
ReplyDeleteActually my friend he is from Ghana, West Africa...it doesn't happen often though we did visit him in Ghana last year.
ReplyDeleteThe mountains like to ocean to me are two things I could never tire of just sitting and stare at them for hour after hour and enjoy their beauty. I am hypnotized by them each and every time I've ever visited. Wisconsin is beautiful and we've always called it God's country but there's something about the mountains and the ocean that makes me want to move. You're pictures makes me want to go back again.
ReplyDeleteHi Joe was having problems commenting early on yours and a few others. I think it is working now. I love just these scenes. I wrote a ton of stuff last time I tried commenting so I am so tired of writing and it doesn't take. Anyway you know how much I love this area. I did visit your previous blog as well but it didn't take my comment last time there. I loved your squirrels perspective there. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteHi Joe, I am thinking of how Blessed you have been weather wise, for your friend from Africa. It is good that he doesn't have to endure the cold weather, and I am sure you are enjoying all that warm weather as well. :)
ReplyDeleteIt has been cool here and raining for the past week. I am sure glad I went to Algonquin Park the week before when it was sunny and warm. It is suppose to warm up again and be nice for our Thanksgiving Weekend which is coming up at the end of this week.:)
I enjoyed reading your blog and looking at all the beautiful landscapes of Montana. I would love to go there some day, and see the emerald hills , blue sky and the majestic mountains. It all looks so wonderful and peaceful.
Have a wonderful week Joe.
Dianne :)
How can anyone not believe in God when looking at the beautiful world He created.Your photos always leave a calming effect.
