This post has some pictures that I like, but didn't know where to put them, so I am putting them together. I am calling this post "Hope"........... Hope can have so many different looks.......
I love this picture of my parents and two of my children playing Dominoes. I love the hands representing 2 generations........and showing the youthful hands and the older ones. I love that my children can learn from the wisdom gained by those older than them. So precious.
I enjoy our harps - my daughters and I play harp, although I must confess that life has been so busy and it has been a while since I played. My younger daughter has been asking when I will play again.....and says that she misses my playing. Precious.
I have not played long - only about 3 years now.....and I started to play piano at the same time and to learn to read music. WHAT a challenge for my mind! But I enjoyed playing and making beautiful music...........and my older daughter is my teacher. :) What a blessing.
China, blues, calico, teapot, candle......all are special to me and I thank God even for simple things like these - and being able to decorate my own home......the calico background and the paint on the china cabinet were my additions to a plain, tired corner china cabinet.
Now, this also represents hope...........as my son searches for a snack and HOPES he can find what he wants in the pantry. :) It seems they are ALWAYS looking for a snack - that happens with so many growing boys!!!
The robin in late winter is a sign of spring.......and I like the hope of knowing that winter won't last forever - even though sometimes it seems that it will!
This is a picture of hope that I will give in and let the poor cold puppy in the house. By the way, he was just visiting and doesn't have to stay outside long at all.
Look at that sad pleading face. :)
Pine needles in their growing season....and the fresh green growth- another sign of hope of spring and summer........it isn't here yet, but is coming.
My older son who owns the puppy above, came on Valentine's Day, just to bring this beautiful rose to me.....I have so many hopes for my children....and hope they will choose to always walk with the Lord. This flower meant so much to me....even to be remembered in a special way.
Ultimately, our hope needs to be in the Lord............and while little things here on earth can remind us of hope and give encouragement.............it is still God's Word that really gives us hope.

DeleteBeautiful! I love the harp. How wonderful that you and your daughters play!
ReplyDeleteThank you....it is a blessing....and God provided the harps, which was an added blessing. :)
DeleteI really liked this collection of photos and reading about each one! I think my favorite was the first one - what a great story that photo tells.
ReplyDeleteI love that one too..... our world doesn't treasure the older generation, but I am so thankful that my children have the benefit of those older saints who love the Lord. :)

DeleteOh my, that puppy is just too cute! Look at that face! :) What a lovely post, dear friend. Hope....because of Jesus there is sweet hope.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with Roses of Inspiration. Hugs!
I am not an animal person, but I confess to having a soft spot for Sherlock... he has such a sweet personality... and I loved that hopeful expression on his face... but he still didn't get to come into the house. :) Yes, Jesus is the reason we have hope. :)
DeleteI like that domino picture too. The "hoping for a snack" is classic boy. :) I often see the same pose in my house!
ReplyDeleteMy boys do that often... check the pantry, refrigerator, cookie jar, etc. :) It is a precious, although sometimes frustrating, picture. :) That domino picture of children and grandparents' hands is a favorite of mine.
DeleteNice photos, I have that blue plate. It is well photographed. xo
ReplyDeleteThank you... I sure enjoy that blue plate... thank you for the encouraging comment. :) I hope you have a lovely weekend.

ReplyDeleteThank you... that is one of my favorites also. :) I'm so glad you visited and commented - it was nice to hear from you. :)
DeleteWhat great photographs, my favourite would have to be of the hands playing dominoes. The old and the new and the lessons to be learned what a wonderful time for them. The harps are beautiful also. Thank you for sharing these with us at Good Morning Mondays.
ReplyDeleteThank you... I love that mixture of old and young... so precious. :) We do enjoy our harps... they are such beautiful instruments. :) Thank you for visiting.
