I know the thoughts that I think toward you,
says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not evil,
to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon
Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
Jeremiah 29:11-12 NKJV
Life is like a garden. Every day God gives us opportunities to plant seeds for the future. When we plant wisely and trust God completely, the harvest will be bountiful.
.......as you live in the present and look to the future, remember that God has an important plan for you. And while you still have time, it's up to you to believe-and act-accordingly.

The horizon leans forward,
offering you space to place new steps of change.

Thanks to all that have entered for the Blog'aversary Prize Print I am offering. There is still time to enter if you haven't.
Flowers above are more Irises from my Uncle and Aunt's Garden. The third one pictured is my personal favorite. To me, it resembles "live watercolor art." God is the most awesome artist and creator! :)

Happy Sunday! Thanks for sharing the Bible verses and the beautiful Iris'-- enjoyed both. We just started some Iris in our garden so will most likely be a couple years before blooms like the beautiful ones pictured! Enjoyed yours though!

Your aunt and uncle have an awesome iris garden. I love irises because the older they get the more beautiful they are. Next year's irises will be more lovely than this and on and on.
Thanks for sharing...the verses and the beatiful pictures of the iris blossoms.
Have a wonderful week!
