My grandson Zeke got a little bored with the UGA football game this past Saturday, so he just took a little nap in Gran Jan’s lap…pure SUGAR that’s what he is…I am absolutely smitten. He wore his jersey during the game…he will be 1 month old tomorrow and we are still praising Jesus for the miracle of this baby.

Peace of Mind
Peace of mind is a matter of choice, choosing to listen to that Still Small VOICE.
Not relying on feelings – not surviving by might,
living by faith and not by sight!
Clinging to the good – avoiding the wrong,
ignoring the NOISE, embracing the SONG!
Trusting completely, believing the best,
escaping the turmoil, restored and at rest.
Seeking God’s guidance on each journey I start,
submitting my will and surrendering my heart.
Thankful in all things, content by His Grace,
claiming his Glory in whatever I face.
Seeking Him daily assured I will find,
joy in my journey – and sweet peace of mind!

Moonflowers…I LOVE them!
I love gardening…besides spending time with my men-folks (husband, sons, grandson) and my girls (daughters-in-law), it’s my most favorite thing to do. Gardening is pure therapy for me…and much cheaper…unless I’ve been to the Lowe’s Garden Center!
Have you ever seen a moonflower? Well they are wonderful and I grow them from seed every year! They grown on a beautiful vine and the foliage is heart-shaped. The flowers are spectacular, about 6″ across, lightly scented, and they are white with a “star” in the center. They begin to bloom at dusk…when the day is winding down.
One of my favorite authors, Jan Karon wrote a wonderful book entitled The Trellis and the Seed, a book of encouragement for all ages. It is all about waiting for a moonflower to bloom, it is delightful.
I just wanted to share some gardening joy today. I’m sorta like those moonflowers in that I am not a morning person (or a morning glory)! I begin to wind up when the day is winding down myself. Maybe that’s why I love these flowers so much. There’s nothing sweeter that sitting in my back porch swing and enjoying the moonflowers blooming. Did you know there’s even a night-time hummingbird? Oh yes there is…I’ll save that for another post!
