What has made you glad today?
Are you thanking God for this day?
I will reJOYce for He has made me glad.
This is such a beautiful spring day –
The weather is a gift from God
and
My dear husband, Bob, has our yard
Looking like a very inviting park.
Come sit awhile with me.
Enjoy the birds singing.
Enjoy the sunshine.
Let the peacefulness
of the mountain vistas
Make you glad!
They make me glad!
Let your heart sing with the music of the birds!
So beautiful!
I had a yellow chested blackbird singing to me this morning-
-and while up in my sanctuary, a pair of doves
landed on the garage roof
and sang their hearts out.
(Thank God
it wasn’t those
“common cranes”
or the “snipe”
or the “corn crepe.”
Those would have driven me crazy!
(If you glide your cursor over the red line on the video,
it will tell you what kind of bird you are listening to.
The European turtle dove sounds like those we have here.
They make me glad!
Our friend, Jim, took a break
from his yard work today
and came to visit for awhile.
Friends who drop by to visit
make my heart glad!
Tomorrow I get to spend time with his wife,
my good friend, Terry.
We’ll share a lunch and catch up on life.
Sharing life with friends makes me glad!
Seeing it, wrapping myself up in it,
that makes me glad!
“Serve the Lord with gladness;
come before His presence with singing.”
Psalm 100:2
What makes you glad?
Share with me…
Your comments make me glad!
EMBRACE GLADNESS!
Thanks for visiting JanBeek!

Thanks, {{{Dwight}}} – I hope our drip system works to keep those geraniums alive while we’re gone this week. The weather really warmed up. It was 93 when we were driving in to BZN today!!
