More Spring Snapshots

On Sunday - hostas beginning to unroll their large green leaves in the sunshine

A two toned tulip... Isn't it sweet?

Our garden shed at a distance

Beautiful pastel petals of Phlox from Wednesday

One of the flowers carefully unfolding...

Forget-me-nots, so intricate in design

Forsythia showing it's beautiful green leaves. Not too many yellow flowers appeared on their branches this year. Maybe due to several nights of hard frosts?

Although we've (thankfully) had rather mild New York winter... It is always a very long, plant-less season. What a blessing to breath the scents and see the colors of nature all around our landscape.

A beautifully landscaped spot at our neighbor's... Can you see the flowering tree in the background? So lovely! :)

A blue jay watching a starling nearby... 

Yesterday evening's moon behind a hickory tree just starting to green up.

Sun setting in the west...

Beautiful sunset from Wednesday night. The soft blue sky with gentle whisps of white clouds and yellow sunlight are so peaceful to look at. And so reassuring too.

1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hast bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God...

I'm so thankful God planned a way for us to be adopted as His children, since before we were born. He provided a way for us to be saved from our sins and reconciled to Him through Christ. He always knew we (who believe) would accept His truth by faith, believe His truth. We are so richly blessed in Christ, beyond what we could ever imagine. 

Ephesians 1:3, 5, 6, 12 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ... Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved... That we should be to the praise of the glory of his grace, who first trusted in Christ.

God bless! Danielle
