Jimmy is heading out of town for the week and I need to SURROUND myself with LIGHT so I can survive single mothering. We all need LIGHT, don't we?!
In these photos I notice how the light 'makes better... or brighter' each setting. Isn't that just how the LIGHT of Christ is in our lives... makes us a little better... or brighter.
I am so blessed to have LIGHT in my life. “My cup runneth over.” (Ps. 23:5)
"Bring up your children in LIGHT and truth." D&C 93:40
"Parents must bring LIGHT and truth into their homes by one family prayer, one scripture study session, one family home evening, one book read aloud, one song, and one family meal at a time."(L. Tom Perry, Ensign, May 2010)
Doesn't this quiet porch setting seem like a good teaching place? ... to read or sing to little ones. Peace ... LIGHT.
"Walk in the LIGHT of the Lord." 2 Nephi 12:5
"Whatsoever is LIGHT, is good." Alma 32: 35
A light exists in spring
Not present on the year
At any other period.
When March is scarcely here
A color stands abroad
On solitary hills
That science cannot overtake,
But human nature feels.
It waits upon the lawn;
It shows the furthest tree
Upon the furthest slope we know;
It almost speaks to me.
Then, as horizons step,
Or noons report away,
Without the formula of sound,
It passes, and we stay:
A quality of loss
Affecting our content,
As trade had suddenly encroached
Upon a sacrament.
Emily Dickinson

I love all those photos, they are beautiful and calming. I love beautiful things.
I liked your thoughts about light - they brightened my day.
Those photos are incredible. I love them. Thanks for the inspirational thoughts for the day. Hope your week goes well with Jimmy gone. Not so much fun sometimes with the hubby gone. The kids and I always throw a party to make it seem less dull. (I let them eat popcorn down stairs and watch a family movie we all like). Good luck!
