These azaleas are beautiful, just as GOD created them to be! We all have beauty inside us. I wonder as I gaze at this photo (taken last spring in my yard) if the beauty inside of me is spilling out? or am I hoarding it for myself?
Let's share God's beauty and blessings from within with all those around us! Let us love one another with the love only GOD can give!
"Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.......Love others as well as you love yourself." Matthew 22:37-40 The Message
Amazed by HIS grace,
Andrea
Your beauty shines, and spills out all over the world. I love you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful reminder! I agree with Denise! You are always blessing others with your kind words, actions and prayers!
ReplyDeleteLove you, Leslie
I like passion,prayer and intelligence.
ReplyDeleteI ask God that I may live consciously in His presence...so often I drift through the day, knowing He is there but not necessarily being conscious of the joy of His presence.
I think the older I get the easier it is to drift when there are not a lot of commitments to keep us on track.
Oh the wonderful things that He created for us, especially the beautiful flowers. I too pray that the beauty inside will spill out and I can share God's beauty and blessing with those I come in contact with. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful message to start the week.
Blessings dear Andrea.
Aww.. the azaleas are beautiful. Blooms are such happy things.

ReplyDeleteBlessings,

You are BEAUTIFUL inside AND out! I often pray that others can see my love for our Heavenly Father spilling out from me in all I do, but I know I have days where that doesn't shine through. Something I continue to work on daily.
ReplyDeleteThan you, for such a wonderful reminder as we begin another week!
Blessings~

Love azaleas they remind me of growing up in NJ. Have a wonderful Monday!
ReplyDeleteThank you for a powerful reminder, Andrea. God created us in His image. May the beauty of that truth and His love be reflected in me!
ReplyDeleteYour azaleas are beautiful. Every time I see azaleas, I am reminded of the Azalea Garden at Bryan Park in Richmond. My husband and I lived in just outside the Richmond area for 13 years. We used to enjoy spending time at the park, especially when the azaleas were in bloom. We have very fond memories of those years!
Blessings,
Beth
Gorgeous images everywhere, ...from the Sunrise to the flowers..
