In Line

I believe that when our will is lined up with God's then we are truly happy. To me being happy means more than having what we want and is in line with knowing and serving God. I believe He loves us dearly and provides all our needs in good and bad times; from morning to night. This late evening shot of ferries heading into the sunset is symbolic of our direction towards God. On the eve of Chinese New Year: I wish a Happy New Year to all. Jane Continue Reading…

Blessed in Patience

May God Bless you with the gift of patience. Jane on Galiano Island Continue Reading…

May true joy melt into your heart this year. Jane Continue Reading…
