Pineapples, Beach, Pond, and Lake blessed in VLE!

Image
                                                 We need to count our blessings at all times! Always! Today so many are so unhappy. They are negative, hateful, and live in misery. It is sad to see. We need to pray for them, teach them the joy of Jesus and gratitude. We see so much aggression today by some people, also unhappy people, this is not normal, we need to live with love, being kind, loving, and patient. We have some nice pineapples growing in our backyard, a lot of them, but two have babies coming soon, new fruit. I am blessed to have the beach, pond, and lake close by to go to, walk, pray, and enjoy. I sure enjoyed all this week. We even had a bad incident where someone backed into my car, at the Wabasso Beach he did minor damage to my door wall, a little dent. the guy sped off instead of assuming responsibility, but then he returned and paid me a small ...

Beach and lake/woods blessed, letting God's Spirit dwell in me!

                      You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. ~Romans 8:9-11  Beach and lake/woods blessed, letting God's Spirit dwell in me! It has been a blessed week. I am enjoying my woods, pond, and lake around where I live and the beach close by. God is so good to me. I am so blessed by God. Plus enjoying my retirement so much too! I have started walking again, listening to my news and walking by the lake, pond, and woods by my house. I just love nature! I am so happy where we live now to enjoy al...

Blessed to have so many beaches, Pelican Island Refuge, and Sebastian Inlet State Park so Close to Enjoy!

What a day of blessings! While we did have rain overnight and some while out and about, a lot while out at our home, we did enjoy a nice outing. We had a nice time at Golden Sands Beach, it was so nice, a real blessing, fairly calm, and so nice. We had wanted to go to Pelican Island Refuge and the Sebastian Inlet, we have lived here for 3+ years, but have never gone that far north before on A1A. Today we did! What a blessing! So nice, no people, so much nature and dunes and all. It was a lovely day to see all. There are so many trails for hiking and birding. So much to see and enjoy! God is so good to us here where we live. The beaches at the Sebastian Inlet reminded us of Cape Cod some, so much nature, little growth or population in this area. We are blessed blessed blessed! We live in such a pristine, naturally, and peaceful place with so much nature to enjoy and give thanks to God for! What a blessing!   

Living Well in VLE: So Many Blessings-Love the Woods, Lake, Pond, and Our Beach Close By!

                                             Create a clean heart in me, O God, and renew a faithful spirit within me. ~Psalm 51:10 I feel so blessed! God is creating in me a clean heart. He renews a faithful spirit within me, what a blessing! I had I nice walk this week by the lake and woods by my house, which I love. I love all the nature and peace here. We have a big lake and pond close by, I love all the woods, nature, plants, animals, it is so nice to be around, it gives me so much peace and I pray and give thanks to God as well. The beach was nice, it has been cloudy this week, cooler some, the water is cooler, but still I enjoy it. I love seeing all the birds, the seagulls, sandpipers, and pelicans. I really feel so blessed. God continues to bless us and give us peace. Peace is so important. I just do not know how people live without God in their lives. Without Jesus...

Very Large Hawk in Our Backyard in VLE!

Image
  We have a lot of wonderful wildlife here where we live! This hawk has been on my pole and wire by my house a lot lately. I see and hear him a lot. A very beautiful bird! I thought it was an eagle of sorts, I was looking up to see, but it looks like it is a hawk. I have maybe narrowed it down to either a Broad-winged Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk, or maybe a Rough-legged Hawk, according to what I could find and research online by the way it looks. It has a lot of white or light colors, some darker around the wings, but fairly light. It is very majestic to look and and watch, it perches for long periods of time, just looking around, even like licking its upper feathers. It also almost looks like an owl somewhat too. Anyway, I have seen this one like this here where we live in VLE a lot for the past two years or so. I feel bad as so much of the woods and forest are being taking down to build houses, it worries me they won't have an environment to live in anymore. We are very blessed to live...

A Robin Sighted in VLE This Winter!

Image
  I saw a robin bird today here behind my house in a tree in VLE! The first time for me ever in Florida seeing a robin. I am from Upstate New York, I grew up seeing robins all the time. I had never seen one in Florida in my 27 years of living here in this state until today. What a blessing! My mother loved birds, she loved seeing them, she really loved the blue jays and cardinals. I see them here a lot. I put bird feeders out and they come all the time. Today was the first time for me to see a robin. I was so excited. It comforted me and made me think my mom was here with me. What a blessing!
