Florida

Morning walk

  We are on the road visiting friends and family in Lakeland, Brandon, and Bradenton, Florida.  We are blessed to be able to share with so many our calling to work with the Blackfoot people in Lethbridge alongside the Amazing Grace Community Church.

  As we travel, I enjoy so much seeing the beauty of the state that we grew up in - just want to share some of that with you this morning.

Hibiscus

Lake Morton - with swans!

Palm fronds - cleaned up many of these while we were growing up!

Bromiliads

Can't say I have ever seen this type of cactus before - information would be appreciated!

The peacefulness of moss hanging from oak trees.
I remember as a child when my parents first moved to Florida when I was 6 years old.
Seeing the moss on the trees as we traveled I-75 heading down to Valrico, Florida "Valley of Gold".
 The moss in the trees always reminds me of our Florida home.


What memories of your childhood home come to you when and if you return for visits?
And what about your forever home?  What do you envision it to be like?



20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
(Philippians 3:20 ESV)
