Good morning moon

you smiling lune

go to bed

sleepy head

don't be up till noon

Light my way

in night's dark day

don't wait up

making hay

happiness

image and text copyright and sole property of Jo Marsden

happiness for me is the simple things in life

hanging out white fresh washing in the sunshine

the sounds of birds

my kitties following me round the garden

the lush greenness and colours of garden life

sitting and reading, writing and listening

pieces of life and the gentleness therein

home and waddling around as i grow our baby

what a lovely year and a lovely day

simply

Fairy dreams and elfin breath!

These gorgeous pieces of delightful bijous are hand made by the ever lovely Jan's sister. (Jan of Hazelnut cottage...see succulent sites and purchases! www.hazelnutcottage.etsy.com ) What a creative family they must be! I saw this small sample of loveliness and wanted to share it with my blog readers as they are just so gorgeous!

They are just sooo fairy and elfin like in jewellry quality! I'd feel like one wearing these. There are more delights to view , choose and purchase if your heart so desires a treat such as this if you go to roxannes new website www.lerevebrise.etsy.com ! I wish her all the best and succes on her new venture.

It must be so creatively inspiring to live in hawai'i!

One day we will go, me and my little family.....sail the seas to a new land. OK so we'll fly but its not quite so romantic sounding.

Trust

God has been calling me to trust Him over a certain issue and I have been stubbornly refusing. I know how dare I ? but we are stubborn human creatures are we not! So today I finally trusted Him over it and now I have to "wait". As thats what He says to do. So i wait. I am getting good practise at waiting. It sounds like such an easy thing to do but it isnt. But I am doing it.

Today's ODB was so direct i wanted to blog it.

Here are parts of it!

"Exodus 15v22-27.

....If you have a seemingly impossible need today, remember that the hand that supplied your greatest need-forgiveness of sin. is the same hand that can adequately supply all your needs.

TRUST HIM TO ACCOMPLISH THINGS THAT SEEM IMPOSSIBLE.

"When our problems overwhelm us,

God wants us to loook to HIM

He provides the right solutions-

lighting paths that once were dim"

poem by Sper. ODB.

Impossibilites compel us to rely on God"

How apt is all this when I have felt Him pulling and calling at my heart and repeatedly saying "trust me" so I am. I may have to give him the issue repeatedly as it comes to mind and therefore kind of continue to re-trust Him, but I will and I do.

the Sea

The sea the sea,

the inconstant sea,

bringing things in,

of stones,

and of weeds.

Hear the noise,

Hear the sounds,

Feel the breeze,

Feel the sands,

washed up,

washed out,

washed ashore,

washed clean,

within,

and without.

Plain clouds

The fog in my mind

grows thicker and thicker

as my baby filled body

grows bigger and bigger

soon i will explode

and into the world

will pop our little nipper

my friendly tummy kicker

Bon nuit

images and words Copyright Jo Marsden

Pink sky at night

God given delight

Pink sky in the morning

the shepherds are yawning

A sign of the times

or colours just dawning?

See the turtle

He gurkles

across the vast sea

that God has created

For him, thee and me

He swims and he circles

amongst other life

some we havent seen

some crazy animanimals

teeming streaming without strife.
