Each and every one of your blogs bless me! I've learned so much through them!
I am always so excited to look at each one of your posts. They are so encouraging and uplifting!
I have really enjoyed reading the many Bible verses, quotes, thoughts, and not to mention... the recipes! I always love a good, new recipe! :)


I also wanted to thank you all for the many comments! You don't even know how excited I get when I have to moderate a comment! Haha. :) Your words truly bless me!
Again, thank you so much for reading Where The Heart Remains! I have really enjoyed getting to know each and every one of my dear readers!

I pray you all are having a wonderful and blessed Lord's Day! May He continue to bless you today and always! :)

Photography... What A Blessing!

I would like to share some pictures with you today! I have been going outside each day to take some nature snapshots. What a beautiful world our Creator has given us!
I hope you are having a wonderful Thursday evening. May the Lord continue to bless you as we praise His Name! :)


A wonderful photograph of Tyler and Elvis! :)
What a blessing it is to have our three horses.

Sweet Jessa and I... :)


What a precious little girl! :)


It is kind of hard to see the squirrel in this picture!
You may ask why I am sharing this photograph with you...
Here's the story:
I was glancing at the trees, when I suddenly came upon this little cutie!
I saw him eating berries off the tree and then... Plop!
He was attempting to drop them on my head down below! I don't know if he thought it was humorous or what! :)
Then he came about two feet from my face and scrambled away... Unfortunately, this is the best photograph I could get of the little stinker! Haha! :)


Jessa was ready to brave the cold! :)


~ P.U.R.E J.O.Y ~
I feel so blessed to have my sweet little sister! :)


If you look closely, you can see me in Wrangler's eye! :)


I hope you are having a wonderful and blessed day!
Many Blessings,

A Beautiful World!

Hello Dear Friends!
I want to apologize for not posting recently. I have been so busy! Today, I am not going to share some photographs with you. I really feel blessed to have my camera. Nature is truly amazing... I love to go outside and take photographs of God's beautiful creation.
I hope you are having a blessed Tuesday. May the Lord continue to keep you and your family safe and healthy in this new month of February! :)

~I will type a short description of the picture and also read from Psalm 98~

A beautiful pine cone rests on the ground!

"Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! For He has done marvelous things;
His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory."

A lovely reflection on the water!

"The Lord has made known His salvation;
His righteousness He has openly shown in the sight
of the nations."


A dark raincloud, which shows the mighty works of our Creator!

"He has remembered His mercy and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God."


A shadow of Wrangler and I... So cute! :)

"Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth;
Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises."


Another shadow of Wrangler and I... So sweet! :)

"Sing to the Lord with the harp,
With the harp and the sound of a psalm,"


Silly Elvis taking a rest on Fanny May's back!

"With trumpets and the sound of a horn;
Shout joyfully before the Lord, the King."


The bright and beautiful sun, shining through a big and beautiful tree!

"Let the sea roar, and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell in it;"


Red, radiant berries!

"Let the rivers clap their hands;
Let the hills be joyful together before the Lord,"


In my opinion, the color yellow expresses so much joy and happiness!

"For He is coming to judge the earth.
With righteousness He shall judge the world,
And the peoples with equity."


Many Blessings,
