"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
"Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endures to all generations" Psalm 100:3-5
These photos are gorgeous! I always miss flowers when winter comes.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers in your garden, Lea.
ReplyDeleteMy monthly fix of crepe myrtle! Of course I enjoy what else won't grow in my zone. We here (not me, personally) do have Rose of Sharon, which is one of few summer flowering shrubs, and I enjoyed yours, too.
ReplyDeleteAlways lovely to see the flowers
ReplyDeleteA wildflower that pretty shouldn't be called "begger's lice!" Happy GBBD, Lea!
ReplyDeleteMy cypress vine and Turk's cap are going crazy right now, trying to outdo each other with blooms. That althea is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular blooms. The water adds a feeling of freshness too.
