so last week, it pretty much rained all week. rain that our neck of the woods so badly needed so i’m not complaining. but i do have to tell you that i was happy to see the sun friday morning.
i was walking outside in my front yard with my coffee that morning taking in the fresh air and all the green that has been popping up in the neighborhood. i noticed that my azaleas were getting ready bloom which is wonderful. but even more so was the way that the morning light was shining on the raindrops so that they sparkled. seriously…it was magical and it took my breath away. so of course i went right back inside and got my camera and snapped this photo. which is a nice photo, but doesn’t even do it justice. 
and i was thinking about this all day friday. how the light can do such amazing things to an ordinary raindrop. it’s kind of like that with God too i think. how his light shines on us and even in the midst of all our sorrows…something extraordinary happens.
after sharing a bit of some of my own personal struggle on thursday, i have been overwhelmed with the most loving comments, emails, text messages. people i don’t even know in ‘real life’ sending messages of love and hope and faith. prayers pouring into my email for my loved one.
truly you all are a reminder of all that is GOOD and BEAUTIFUL in the world. and i am moved beyond words. thank you from the very bottom of my heart.
love, kelly
Gods timing is everything!
What a beautiful image! My azaleas haven’t begun to put out buds yet. Don’t you love those moments when you walk out at the exact moment the sun is shining on those drops that will be gone all to soon! It’s so wonderful to have a God who’s with us in the bad times and the good. Only he knows the plans for our life.
I’ve been out of the loop a bit, and out of town this past weekend, but i wanted yout o know I’m praying for you and your dear one. And, honestly, I would think by now people know there is much more to our lives than what we share here. This is only a slice of the pie, but I’m gratful to sit down to your feast when you share. ((hugs))
Watching how your photography is evolving is absolutely awesome….I love the one with the coffee cup in the forefront. But the things you did with light, droplets and flowers is magical.
I can NOT grow azaleas to save my life. I tried for over ten years, then finally just gave up. Your photo is beautiful!
As far as the power of prayer goes, all I can say is that after this past Monday, I believe in it more than ever. I hope your loved one is doing “much more better” now (as our son used to say when he was learning to talk). Have a happy Wednesday, Kelly!
