Vero Lake: Living in the Country here in Florida

Counting my weekly blessings this lovely Friday here in VLE! It was a green flag day today at the beach! I just love our beaches in this county, I love Wabasso Beach!  What a blessing! So nice all week long! I got to take some nice walks in the woods, by the pond and lake. I saw a very cute brown bunny, he let me take his photo. It has been a week of blessing! And I am counting mine for sure! God is so good to me! I received a nice letter from the President of the United States this week, it was so nice to see. I pray for them and thanked him for all the wonderful 250th birthday celebrations for our country on Independence Day on the 4th of July. Thankfully all my spouses family is fine who were greatly affected by the bad earthquake in Cali, Colombia, 7.4. It was so bad for them. We are praying for all the Colombians impacted by this. We received our projected property tax bill this week, it is higher again this year, just keeps going up. The county is very greedy for sure, they j...

We complain of the slow, dull life we are forced to lead, of our humble sphere of action, of our low position in the scale of society, of our having no room to make ourselves known, of our wasted energies, of our years of patience. So do we say that we have no Father who is directing our life; so do we say that God has forgotten us; so do we boldly judge what life is best for us, and so by our complaining do we lose the use and profit of the quiet years. O men of little faith! Because you are not sent out yet into your labor, do you think God has ceased to remember you? Because you are forced to be outwardly inactive, do you think you, also, may not be, in your years of quiet, “about your Father’s business”? It is a period given to us in which to mature ourselves for the work which God will give us to do. —Stopford A. Brooke Counting more blessings from God! What a week! God is so good to all of us! I just love our beaches! Wabasso Beach is a real blessing with so much peace! Are you c...

  I cannot stop thanking God for everything in my life! Praying to Him daily! Staying positive, loving, and joyful in the Lord the rest of my days! What a week of blessings from God! I am convinced that if one wants to have happiness in this life, they need to count their blessings, pray to God for others and the world and that His will be done in my life, to stay positive, loving, and joyful in His promises! The beach has been a glimpse of Heaven all week, green flag days, calm, clean, nice swimming, just so much peace and many blessings! I keep seeing this great big hawk/eagle in my back yard, taking some nice photos, he is huge. I even took some photos of the cat tails as I drove to the beach one day. I love them from my childhood and it is nice we have them here where we live now too. I was so impressed with the Independence Day celebration on the TV news and all President Trump said and did, celebrating all the flags, our veterans, gold star families, and all It was wonderful....

                                             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...
