We need to find meaning. We need to be useful. We need to know that who we are matters. I give, you give, we all give.
Winnie Nielsen says: This just feels like impending Thanksgiving! I love the colors of Indian corn and best of all we can grow it in the South!
Winnie Nielsen says: Is this a little country church? Town Hall meeting center? I love the bare tree winter landscape.
MaryJane says: Yes, it’s a little Lutheran church called Cordelia, about a country mile or so from here. During the summer, there is a wonderful line-up of events–music, dancing, etc.
Connie-killarney says: I went to a little church just like this one! in Friendship, Tennessee, with my Granny in the early 1960’s. I remember holding her gloved hand, with my little gloved hand ( we always wore gloves back then to church) climbing the steps to shake hands with the minister, and then on to hug everyone all the way down isle to our pew in the middle. I love all the pictures you post. This one brought back such a sweet memory for me today!
Love this image MJ! Reminds me of one I drove by today just down the road from where my mom lives. It sits in the middle of a wide open parcel of land ( rare for tree covered MA. ) … It looks so humble and regal at the same time… I love how you captured your local treasure! hugs! Deb
Winnie Nielsen says: So quiet and beautiful looking. What a vista!
Karlyne says: Gorgeous! I’m glad that you all appreciate the beauty in your lives!
connie-Killarney says: Beautiful! How Blessed you are!

This is beautiful. What a lovely keepsake/presentation for a gifted book.
Wow, gorgeous! Is it a pillow used to wrap up a gift? Sort of two gifts melted together?
HOW LOVELY! WHEN I WENT INTO THE WAC’S DURING VIETNAM, AN OLD WW11 VETERN GAVE ME A SMALL BIBLE THAT HAD A STEEL FRONT COVER. THEY WERE GIVEN TO OUR SERVICE MEN AS ‘POCKET BIBLES’ FOR THE BATTLEFIELD. I TREASURED THAT GIFT AND KEPT IT CLOSE FOR MANY YEARS. WHEN MY DAUGHTER MARRIED, SHE ASKED IF WE COULD CREATE A COVER [LIKE YOURS], SO SHE COULD CARRY IT WITH A SINGLE ROSE. THE BIBLE, [COVER STILL ON IT] REMAINS WITH ME STILL. PERHAPS ANOTHER SET OF BEAUTIFUL YOUNG HANDS WILL CARRY IT DOWN AN ISLE ON ANOTHER WEDDING DAY. THANKYOU FOR SHARING……IT BROUGHT BACK A BEAUTIFUL MEMORY.
