Yesterday morning while walking out to the mailbox, I noticed how beautifully the moon flowers were blooming on my arbor. So of course, I just had to get pictures.

This is a part of my shade garden. If you look closely you can see Fiver's ears and head amongst the four-o'clocks. Fiver is a statuary rabbit that Tim gave me as a Mother's Day slash Birthday gift several years ago. Fiver is one of the main characters in the book "Watership Down" by Richard Adams. I read the book when I was twelve and it has remained one of my favorite stories as well as "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.

The garden bench was also a gift from Tim. He gave it to me on my 45th birthday this past summer. The arbor with the moonflower vine adorning it was a gift from Tim this past Christmas.

Are you noticing a theme here?

My husband knows me so well and yet I can be so blind to his consideration, generosity, and kindness. Why is that?

Thanks for your kind words, encouragement, and prayers concerning my last post. The Lord is ever faithful and so patient with me. I desire more discipline and self-control in my personal life. I desire to love Him more and not be so discontented. I also know that He puts those desires in my heart and I rejoice in that bit of wisdom.

     Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

                                                                                  Philippians 1:6

I pray you have seen Him in others and around you in His creation.

Blessings, Julie
