I'm thankful for the excitement of the changing seasons - I'm thankful that it's almost summer!

The raspberry patch bears the promise of beautiful fruit.  The aspens shimmer and whisper.

And last Friday, something happened to change my life.  In the loveliest of ways.

Any guesses?

(And no, Sir Percy hasn't happened... yet. :smile:)

May is upon us!  I am really, really having a hard time realizing it so far... give me a few weeks. :)

Today, I passed quite a milestone in my life.  I gave my first piano lesson.

Sure, I've been helping my sisters for years, but I never felt ready to make to leap to teach the art of the piano to anyone else.  How could I, when I am so far from perfection?

So when a friend called me the other day asking for lessons, I couldn't believe it.  Was it time?  But I'm just not ready!  Evidently, God thought so... so I took the leap.

I love teaching!  I was quite terrified at first - in fact, I felt those familiar butterflies from the dozens of piano recitals I've lived through creeping up on me.  But once I caught my breath, everything seemed to focus and I was enjoying myself hugely.  I daresay I have a lot to refine in my method - but there's no way to do that except by jumping in!

The water's great.

I just want to thank God for His infinite wisdom, for challenging me to grow and trust.  And most of all, for giving me the faith to step out and grasp life, in all it's glory and opportunity, and make a difference.

I read this quote the other day, and have been thinking about it ever since.

Sharing the Blessings vol. 11

Presenting the March edition of Sharing the Blessings.  Join up below!

Today, the chickadees are singing, flitting from branch to snow covered branch - one of my very favorite sounds.  Springtime is just around the corner, waiting to burst forth in a glory of warm earth and new life.  My flower garden is sleeping under a heavy blanket of snow, but soon, what was once a cold, dead plot of earth will be bursting with life and color.  There will be new calves down in the valley.  Is there anything more adorable than a newborn calf?  I think not.  And lambs, ducklings, wild songbird nestlings.
And best of all, that warm, green smell of the world awakening from it's long, cold sleep - ready to paint the countryside with vibrant color and miraculous life.

I'm thankful for the seasons - each one filled with a wonder all it's own.

"For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations."

Sharing the Blessings vol. 10

Presenting week ten of Sharing the Blessings.  Join up below!

 The last few days have been stunning in their mantle of glorious sunshine.

My sisters and I went on a journey to the top of our mountain,

 To get as close as we could to that sparkling clear sky.

The view was awesome.

So was the feeling of life and energy and sheer joy at being alive on a day like this.

But best of all was being there with my beautiful, talented, precious sisters.

Today I want to thank God for my life, and the endless beauty He is constantly showering on me.

And for letting me call this place my home for a time.

---------------------------------------
"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Hebrews 12: 1-2

I know, with the approach of Autumn and the Thanksgiving holiday, we start to think about our many blessings and how much we have to be thankful for more than the rest of the year.  Why?  Why should counting our blessings and encouraging others be an annual event?  I hope you will find something to share with us and link up below.
