A little squirrel enjoying climbing in the Bradford Pear... and it was a treat to get a glimpse of him through the branches.
The colors were beautiful.....
My intention was to photograph those beautiful blossoms against the rich blue sky... and seeing a little squirrel in there was an extra treat. :)
You can just barely see him hiding in there and eating something... he was shy and kept moving.
Our world is a strange place these days with the coronavirus, stay at home orders, social distancing, businesses closed, work on hold for many and so many things going on that we hadn't imagined could happen.
How nice to see that the beauty of spring goes on anyway... the blossoms flower, the animals and birds have new young and the weather changes.
Hide and Seek with a squirrel is a new thing, but he didn't seem to mind as I moved to see him better.
This photo shows the new blossoms and leaves and also the old dried fruit from last year that is still clinging to the tree.
I love the colors... and the beauty of God's creation and it reminds me that He is the same yesterday and today and … FOREVER!
I hope you know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour. So much going on in the world and many fearful things happening and out of our control.... but they are not out of His control.
"In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence; and His children shall have a place of refuge." Proverbs 14:26
Thank you for visiting today and I hope you are also enjoying God's creation this spring and learning to lean on Him more and more. I know He keeps teaching me more of leaning on Him and trusting.... it is good to keep learning more and more and I am so very thankful to be one of His children.
Do you have a verse that is comforting to you in this time? I would love for you to share it in the comments. May God bless each of you with safety, peace, trust and hope in God in these hard times.

I have been enjoying the Spring outdoors, too. It seem to change overnight, with different plants coming into bloom everyday. There are not many places that I can leave home and go to. I am able to take the children hiking at a near by park. I really treasure those hikes!
ReplyDeleteThe verse encouraging me is (Psalms 37:25 KJV) "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread." And also, Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added into you. We are depending on God to provide our needs.
I agree that spring seems to change each day.. and I love it. :) We have taken walks and enjoyed that also. I'm so glad you can get out - that really helps these days of being at home to not become wearisome. Thank you for sharing those verses... they are truly precious. In these hard times, I find great comfort in knowing that God's plan is perfect and He has promised to meet our needs... whether young or old. I am so glad you wrote today and shared. Thank you. :)
DeleteBeautiful post! Sharing the signs of Spring during these times is inspirational. Stay health.
ReplyDeleteThank you... I am glad you came and encouraged me. The signs of spring are always so fun for me to see - it's like having something new to discover every day! :) I hope you stay healthy also. So glad you visited. :)
DeleteThank you so very much for this beautiful post of encouragement, dear friend. It was so refreshing to my spirit to be reminded that no matter how out of control our world becomes, Jesus is the SAME as He has always been. I do believe His coming is right at hand, and that is why the enemy is fighting so hard against God's people. May He bless you richly and keep you and your family safe and healthy continually, in Jesus' name.
ReplyDeleteThank you... I love how God uses His beautiful creation to lift our spirits and point our attention to Him. It does seem that much is working against Christians and yet, God is still in control and we certainly want to be ready to meet Him face to face. Thank you for visiting. :)
