the two of them

they were having so much fun!

赏花要趁早

这几天风大，

开了两三个星期的花都纷纷地落了。

不同颜色的花瓣铺满了小径，

走在其间宛如置身于世外桃源。

thought for the day

For this new day we give you thanks,
Omnipotent God, Lord of Creation.
Your divine mercy has brought us forth
from the fearful night to the clear light of day.
The world's great stage is filled with your glory,
and all that exists is the work of your hand.

--from Himno al Levantarse

de Himno al Levantarse

en este nuevo dia gracias te tributamos,
o Dios Omnipotente, Senor de lo creado.
Tu Divana Clemencia se ha dignado sacarnos del horror de la noche a la luz del sol claro.
Lleno esta de tu gloria todo el vasto teatro del mundo, y cuanto existe es obra de tu mano.

the lilies of the field

"if God gives much attention to the appearance of the wild flowers -
most of which are never even seen -
don't you think He'll attend to you,
take pride in you,
do His best for you?"
Matthew 6:30

Matthew 6 :28-30

...walk out into the fields and look at the wild flowers.
They never prim or shop, but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best dress men and women in the country look shabby alongside them. (The Message)

I have always liked trees

As long as I can remember I spent a lot of time up in trees when I was young.

I grew up in a house surrounded by many easy to climb trees, you could always find me up in one of them.High up in the tree, it was my hiding place, my refuge,away from everyone and the troubled world below. It was my way of escape.

extend your hands to heaven

....and all the trees of the field will
clap their hands. Isaiah 55:12

spring is here!

Spring is here before you know it.
You wake up one morning and the front lawn had turned green overnight.
The tiny purple flowers decorated the field of green, and spring greets you with it sweet sweet scent.

春天之一

春天总是在不知不觉中到来。
那不知名的紫色小花是在哪一个清晨悄悄地向春天报道了？
淡淡雅雅的点缀了那片刚刚茂青的草地。
