In my spiritual center as I walk amongst nature

It puts me first in preparing my heart

For those I greet as they pass my way

The abundance of my spiritual gains is there for giving

If I allow the daily grinds and souls in strife

With hate, unhappiness, those souls of emotional drain

What I feel is spiritual pain

My center must love and respect all of nature

Nature is not just human, it is all that is

As a keeper of others it not only feeds my spirit

My gains are vast, some unknowing

The good I do for others feeds my own spirit

Comes with it an understanding

Of God and what he wants of me

Being, in His woods, on His beach

all of this He has created

This walk, this journey for spiritual recharging – growth

I in His presence, exposing my thoughts

and my heart for what it is

There I am one with Him and one with His love

He allows my spirit this understanding

The giving of oneself

To those in need, balances my spirit

Who am I? Why am I?

The gifts I receive are for giving,

helping, and loving of all His creations

All the colors in the rainbow. Top of the list is white. I have flowers of all colors, but my favorite is my flower garden of all white flowers from ground cover to my Hydrangea and Rose-of-Sharon trees. When the moon is full they glow so beautifully. With the fountain garden in the middle it is such a feeling of heaven to me.

“My Heartfelt thanks to my Friend”

To My Dear Friends, Thank you for the heartfelt
prayers and caring thoughts. They have meant
a great deal to me. I really appreciate all
the love and kindness that everyone has shown
me. The worst is behind me, but as I see
it "now" there is a long road ahead. I am
sitting in the bleachers “kind of”, my hope is
soon I will be able to stand on the track, but
it will be awhile before I am able to even take
a walk around the track let alone jump the first
hurdle. Nevertheless, I am very happy that I
am where I am at this time and I have nowhere to
go but forwards. With friends like you and your
prayers, I have a hand up for quick healing and
complete recovery.

Romans 5:1-6 Therefore, since we have been
justified through faith, we have peace with
God through whom we have gained access by
faith into this grace in which we now stand.
And we rejoice in our sufferings because
we know that suffering produces perseverance;
perseverance, character; and character, hope.
And hope does not disappoint us, because God
has poured out his love into our hearts by
the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Romans 8:37-39 May they be rooted and grounded
in love, and comprehend with all saints what
is the breath and length and heights and depth
and know the love of Christ which passes
knowledge that they be filled with all the
fullness of God.

I am very blessed to have such genuine and
sincere friends. Each of you is exceptional
in your devotion of your faith as well as
your family and friends. Your devoutness and
faithfulness will bring you many blessings,
your piousness that touches each and everyone
who comes into your lives is a testament of
your true faith. Such love and goodness comes
to those that believe in our Lord, have a deep
commitment, and dedicate their lives to Him
and His Word. I praise and give gratitude for
the wondrous of souls who are a part of my life.
My appreciation goes out to each one of you
and my prayers include each of you and my hope
is that the Lord bless you for your support,
encouragement, and outpouring of love in His
name Amen….RaeDi

Love to each and all, Your Friend....RaeDi

(When you do drop by please sign my guestbook! I'll know you have been by to visit me! Thank you!)

The pictures here are all taken in our yard or in
our woods or at our beach. My profile picture
is called "Anna's Winter Watch" (c), I took the
picture last Dec 1st we had 11" of snow and they took turns watching over their nectar water. A few winter over with us each year. We have four different species of Hummingbird's that visit with us each year. Anna's, Allen's, the Rufus and the little Calliope's. We have hundreds living here with us from Feb-Sept. Lots of noise outside in the summer months, but I find it all very comforting. I am in the middle of writing two
children's books. I am doing botanicals of
hummingbirds and their favorite species of
nectar plants for a coffee table book that I have
been working on now for a couple of years.
Maybe I will have it done in just a couple of
more years. I love art, photography, gardening,
and travel. I use to English Ride and Golf, but
my back won't allow for it now. Love to
watch. I love walking on the beach. I collect
beach glass - put it in several my fountain
gardens. I love being out in the desert
especially at night. I feel you can see all the
stars of all of space and they appear so close
that you could reach up and touch each. I love
the use of words. I love reading and writing.
I love our Lord and all of his souls. I love
my time taking walks or just sitting with
nothing but the Lord, I can feel Him recharging
of my spirit. Friends, can a person have too
many - I think not. Smiles, laughter, love,
care and kindness. These are just a few of the
things that I fill my life with. My only
grandbaby "RudiRue" or Noah is the light of my
life. The pictures you see here on my profile
are a very good description of my life and the
way we live it. May you each have many blessings
along your paths. YourFriend....RaeDi
