Pray for the families of the dear children in the kindergarten in China

Please pray for the grief stricken families of the little children at the kindergarten in China. This is an all-to-familiar pain to me. And history is full of
accounts of the world's hatred of goodness and innocence. Because this is NOT the world that God made. It is an illusion of the real world that God made. Yes we get glimpses, from time to time, of the real world that God has made. We see in part but then face to face. We see through a glass darkly but then face to face. We know in part, but then we will know Him as He knows us. Evil, error, Satan, the Devil, the dark side, whatever you would call it has always chased the heels of the mothers of dear children, the snake wanting to bite the woman to kill her and her child. Read Revelations in the Bible. We must all stand guard at the door of our thoughts as well as our world. Eventually the true creation of God will be revealed to us and there will be no more crying or sorrow or pain. In the Bible King Herod hated the thought of a an innocent child taking his power away. Herod was driven by evil and hatred. He killed many little children. Alas, the spirit of Herod is unfortunately stalking this earth today. It is nothing, for God did not create it and it will go back to it's native nothingness and dust. As when Jesus was born, Herod, the serpent, the devil, evil, Satan, the "dark side" would kill innocence and goodness because Jesus has told us, "of such, is the Kingdom of Heaven" and Satan is jealous of this innocence. Let us all be on guard, every man, woman and child against all of this until the ultimate perfection of spiritual understanding is reached. To make a fine wine, the scum must first come to the surface to be scooped away. This is what is happening. Mary Baker Eddy first mentioned this at the turn of the 20th century. She said that this fermentation had already begun and will continue until all scum has been scooped away and the divine heavenly wine is left, pure and untainted for all of us to drink. To drink with Christ Jesus anew in His kingdom. Take heart, this too shall pass. But in the meantime, I cry for the mothers and the fathers and sisters and brothers. I cry for them. I feel the hurt, the anguish, for I too have lost a child before. But God gives us strength to carry on. That which does not kill us makes us stronger. And for those precious children, they are safe with God and Christ Jesus and in a more beautiful place than we can even comprehend right now. Take heart.

Although I love Easter! I had a bad day yesterday and I guess I feel like I'm carrying a cross. An administrator of a group here on Flickr, was very nasty to me. I extended my hand in friendship and tried to help him with his group. Needless to say he didn't appreciate it and was very, very ugly to me. Such is life, folks. I've learned what Jesus taught about helping people, "but don't cast your pearls before swine". Lesson learned.

Footbridge in Spring

This place is already teeming with life. At night you can hear spring peepers singing so loud it's almost deafening. Also for the first time since we have lived here, we hear toads singing! Maybe that's a good sign? I used to hear toads singing in Georgia along with the spring peepers but up here I never heard them until this year! I love hearing them call, it's really a comforting sound and reminds me of my childhood, now if we just could get Whippoorwills around here, it really would remind me of my childhood! The other night while watching the Lyrid meteor shower, (which by the way, as far as I could tell, was a dud, sometimes they aren't but this year they were, lol) I heard a Great Horned Owl calling nearby. I love it out here and I hope it never changes. The more wildlife the better. There's a silver lining to the economic situation we're in...no more housing developments for right now and I pray it stays that way! Give wildlife a chance!!

This precious cat is named Pee Wee as the title shows. He's the adorable pet of one of my best friends, Lynn, whom I call Sis, because we both like a lot of the same things! We both love animals, we both care about the environment, we love our country, sometimes I swear we were twins separated at birth! I'm glad I met you, Lynn! Keep in touch!

This is my friend from Saudi Arabia, he says to call him 3 bood. He is so nice and very friendly. He loves animals very much! I admire the middle Eastern culture, despite what most of the world says about them. They are beautiful people and they love their animals!

Today on Flickr I saw a photo of Ibises. These are big birds that were sacred in ancient Egypt, but the photo was taken in Australia. All of a sudden it reminded me of the short story in 9th grade literature class that we had to read called "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst. I will never forget that story! I cried after reading it
so I'm sort of spoiling the plot already, but if you get the chance to read it, by all means, do so. I found it by going to Ask.com and looking it up. They have the whole short story on there, you have to scroll down a little to find it, but once you find it, read it. You will never be the same!

There's nothing more beautiful than springtime in the Berkshire mountains here! The spring peepers are singing at night and during the day, the sunshine is so inviting! Living in a rural area is wonderful. And living near a farm is even better. Mr. C up the road has such beautiful land. And dairy cows, flowers, blueberries and a maple syrup farm! He invites us to hike the trails on his land. It's so beautiful, many of my photos are taken from there. I haven't seen my dear friend Esther all winter. I have been meaning to go up there, but something is always going on around here! Soon her yard will be filled with all those beautiful flowers you see in my Flickr photostream! I can't wait to visit her again. Her place is a paradise, also, and she
has practically supplied the whole neighborhood with her flowers. She shares because she has so many! It's wonderful to have gardens! Because they multiply and then you can share with neighbors and friends and it's a good way to make new friends! Hopefully our really cold weather is over with. We've had few nights still in the 30s (F). But fortunately no frosts! My tiny square backyard is beginning to stir with life, the Daffodils and Jonquils blooming and looking like sunshine in the shade! Now my Asian lillies are coming up (already!!) and so are my Daylilies! It won't be long before the two trees in my yard are leafed out and then I will be able to dispose of the brown Christmas tree that I keep near the bird feeder in the winter to protect the birds from hawks. I know people probably wonder why I keep it out there. Right after Christmas, it's still green and pretty, but as it gets closer to spring, it gets brown and neighbors look at it, like they're thinking "why does she keep that ugly brown tree there? Why doesn't she burn it, or throw it out?" I have actually two reasons for keeping it out there during the winter: (1) for cover for the birds feeding so they have a place to hide from hawks (2) recycle and reuse! What better purpose for a used Christmas tree than as cover for the birds! I look forward to summer when birds come from all over to feed in my yard and perch in the leafy trees.
I hope to get some evergreen bushes and trees growing around the little square so I won't have to use the Christmas tree, but even then I will probably find a use for it after Christmas.
We have Red Winged Blackbirds, Goldfinches, Chickadees, Blue Jays, Purple Finches, and occasionally Cardinals coming to the two feeders. My problem is, I try so hard to get a good photo of the birds with my point and shoot camera, but it's hard in the winter, but in the summer I can hide under the trees and they come up close and then I can usually get some fairly good photos of them.
Well, I guess that's all for now, it's 62 degrees F and breezy today. A gorgeous day that is calling me outdoors!

These are the petite versions of Daffodils. My mother used to have a whole flower bed filled row upon row with these beauties! When Esther gave me flowers last spring, I think she inadvertantly had some of these little bulbs in the soil with the other flowers!
I don't remember planting these! So beautiful! And so wonderful that they're blooming on Easter weekend!!

The Crucifixion

Jesus'last proof was the highest, the most convincing, the most profitable to his students. The malignity of brutal persecutors, the treason and suicide of his betrayer, were overruled by divine Love to the glorification of the man and of the true idea of God, which Jesus'persecutors had mocked and tried to slay. The final demonstration of the truth which Jesus taught, and for which he was crucified, opened
a new era for the world. Those who slew him to stay his influence perpetuated and extended it.------Mary Baker Eddy from the book "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures"


"Let men think they had killed the body! Afterwards he would show it to them unchanged. --Mary B Eddy from the book "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures"

"As of old, evil still charges the spiritual idea with error's own nature and methods. This malicious animal instinct, of which the dragon is the type, incites mortals to kill morally and physically even their fellow-mortals, and worse still, to charge the innocent with the crime. This last infirmity of sin will sink its perpetrator into a night without a star."
The author is convinced that the accusations against Jesus of Nazareth and even his crucifixion were instigated by the criminal instinct here described. The Revelator speaks of Jesus as the Lamb of God and of the dragon as warring against innocence. Since Jesus must have been tempted in all points, he, the immaculate, met and conquered sin in every form. The brutal barbarity of his foes could emanate from no source except the highest degree of human depravity. Jesus "opened not his mouth." Until the majesty of Truth should be demonstrated in divine Science, the spiritual idea was arraigned before the tribunal of so-called mortal mind, which was unloosed in order that the false claim of of mind in matter might uncover its own crime of defying immortal Mind."--Mary Baker Eddy, from the book "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures"

"The efficacy of the crucifixion lay in the practical affection and goodness it demonstrated for mankind. The truth had been lived among men; but until they saw that it enabled their Master to triumph over the grave, his own disciples could not admit such an event to be possible. After the resurrection, even the unbelieving Thomas was forced to acknowledge how complete was the great proof of Truth and Love."
---Mary Baker Eddy from the book "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures"

Let us feel the divine energy of Spirit, bringing us into
newness of life and recognizing no mortal nor
material power as able to destroy. Let us re-
joice that we are subject to the divine "powers that be."--Mary Baker Eddy

This weekend is Easter weekend for many Christians, this past week, Passover
for Jews. Tonight for Christians is the remembrance of the Last Supper of Jesus, the Christ. It's a time of deep comtemplation on what was to happen to Him the following day, Good Friday. After the Passover supper with His disciples, they follow Him to Gethsamane, a garden, where Jesus struggles with his fears and prays, knowing he will be arrested and crucified. The unbearable anguish that Jesus must have felt, would be overwhelming to most of us, most of us would have said, "I'm not going through this, it isn't worth it!" and ran. But not Jesus. He stood His ground knowing that the weight of all that he had taught to his disciples and the world hung on this night and the next day. It has been documented by many doctors, that when in the Bible, blood came from Jesus forehead while he was praying, he was suffering a heart attack. Many of us have been through frightening times and moments of decisions, our Gethsemanes. Let us remember what our Master went through,
and realize that what he taught and demonstrated to us, we should at least remember his suffering for us. Let us take time out from all the noise, and distractions of the day, and remember Him. Tonight and into the weekend and rejoice in His resurrection on Easter Sunday. His resurrection is our resurrection into the newness of Life everlasting!
