The Lord's Day!

 

This is the-day the Lord hath-made!


50 years ago, the last century, we had planned a Sunday-picnic at Fort de Chartres on the ole Mississippi River at the state park.

Saturday preparations included Candy’s golden fried-chicken, potato-salad, slaw- and chocolate cake. Her cousin and husband were to join in the adventure.

Sunday dawned overcast, dreary, with-all-day rain!

So, we invited the cousin-couple to our house for the day.

We “picnicked” playing board-games and enjoying

polite-conversation while dining on the “picnic”-goodies!

The uninvited rain quenched Mother-earth and

made the grass-greener, trees-fuller, and flowers-beautiful!

Thank-God for-rain! We had a great-time, too!

So!? As Dr. Wayne Dyer said, “Let-go! And, let-God!”

I adore “every”-day! Rain or shine! Ice or snow!

See, I’ve planted 12K + trees; they need sun and rain!

Of the thousands of-pictures I’ve captured, some of the

most striking and inspirational are an ice-storm in 1974.

We cancelled New Year’s Eve dinner with friends at

 our home. Ice! One huge storm! 1” on branches; power-lines down.

New Year’s Day dawned clear-blue with bright sun.

“Nobody” ventured out, save me and my 35mm SLR!

“Crystal-spider webs” on trees sparkling in the sun!

I captured hundreds of gorgeous-photos.

Might make an interesting coffee-table book!

 

Glorious!

 

Amen!
