Today I got my Mother's day present from nature in the form of a surprise visit from a green, grinning friend who was more than willing to pose for my digital camera while comfortably resting on the hand of a female cousin...
Several minutes after taking these shots rain came pouring down the farm quenching the thirst of the arid ground and a million lives our naked eyes couldn't see...and oftentimes take for granted...
"Thank you Lord for the gift of motherhood and the privilege to take care of your creation; may we always remember that one day we will inevitably leave this life but your LOVE endures forever."
from my humble world to yours
