Good morning to you, Mrs. Bear ... thanks for a great thread ... each verse is beautiful and inspiring ... and your design and colors frame them perfectly.

Looks like it'll be a lovely spring day here ... the air is chilly, but the sun bright and warm, and the tree out my window no longer bare and wintry.

It's a wonderful life.

""A young man's fancy"..... are you busy this evening? : )"
Hmmmmm -- refuse to be jealous about that,...

Good girl! Jealous wimmen have always been a pain in wolfie's......neck. : )

... however, since you did agree to let me in on your Final Four Party! As an avid ACC basketball fan since going to live in North Carolina in 1974,
you can bet I'll be rooting for North Carolina --

Hmmmmm.....if wolfie kissed and hugged on you for a spell.....would you consider rootin' for Illinois? LOL

Jesus is alive in every sense of the word and He is fully aware of each of us and our needs. As we live in obedience to Him, we can expect Him to keep His promise to manifest Himself to us (John 14:21). Then we can say with humility, "The Lord spoke to me." - Herb Vander Lugt

How precious is this aspect of our relationship with Him, that sometimes if we approach Him with praise and thanksgiving, He sometimes interacts ith us.

It has been my special joy to experience this "speaking to my understanding" a number of times over the decades of my life, beginning at age 9.

It became clear I was to be for Him An Appreciator of His wondrous Creations, sending me far and near all over America to see them.
"Home" was wherever He wanted me to be -- never a physical dwelling or abode.
One does not "own" property, but have it simply on loan from Him..:))

Our Home will ultimately be back with Him, Who created us -- through His love and grace.

April hath put a spirit of youth in everything. ~ William Shakespeare

Yes, indeed!

Another quote, for all seasons.....

Yes, Spring is the best time of year! And a hard, long winter makes us appreciate it even more.

Excellent job on the Opener and your "bearpaw" print welcome graphic is so cute.

Thanks, Sis. You have yourself a lovely day!

[Mama_Bear]

Hi, Gail. Yes, it's about time to dust off the grill. The time will be changing this Sunday. I love the longer days!

Hi Sweetie... there was a hot tub party (w margarita) at Just Amy's place last night. We had to find our own dates.. I should have thought of you when I didn't hear back from Mel, the Rock & Denzel..shucks.. so I just poured some wine, watched a DVD & crashed early

break over.. back to yard work

[Mama_Bear]

I just love Spring here on the lake. The sun just made another spectacular display rising over the water.

Oh, it sounds idyllic!

Have a nice spring day, friend.

[Mama_Bear]

Mornin' Aeronaut. Is it beginning to feel like spring in Minnesota?

[Mama_Bear]

loved the violet centered presentation.. the sayings were whimsical & the whole thread the aroma of femininity.. LOVED IT.

Thanks, Dolly. I appreciate your coming by each day with your positive, upbeat messages and compliments. You are special.

Hugs to you and Oliver.

"God speaks to those who are willing to hear Him."

This is true. And, to me, God speaks loudest in the Springtime. :-)

Good morning, Rus.

"would you consider rootin' for Illinois? LOL"

Only if you swear to give up all the Other Wimmin..:)) LOL

Good morning, wolfie. :-)

What an absolutely BEAUTIFUL thread. Simply stunning. And PERFECT for those of us in the midwest.... P.S. Love your new military prayer too. It's very special. ((((lori))))) Sigh...now off to work.

Thank you......and thank you! I have been meaning to design a new military prayer graphic for awhile. I know the other one was a bit hard to read.

I hope you have a lovely day, dutchess (even if you do have to work).

[Mama_Bear]

Hello, Sir Owl. Happy spring to you!

[Billie]

Good morning, Finest! Spring is my favorite season of the year - love the spring flowers and the sunshine and fresh air and birds singing, and thanks, sistah Lori, for a Spring post that is so pretty and refreshing and ....SPRINGY!

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning Mama Bear! I hope you'll not mind if I post this here!

I am happy you DID post it here! What we are about here at the Finest, first and foremost, is honoring our outstanding Military and Freepers. Military posts are always welcome......as are you. :-)

As soon as I finish answering my pings on this thread, I will head over to Shannon's Welcome Home thread.

Have a nice day, Star.

[Billie]
