taking a moment to find joy in the little things

We spent our first full week of summer in Central Oregon - a favorite vacation spot of ours.

We came home on Saturday to a busy weekend - we were hosting Compassion Sunday at our church. This was our fifth year, and we had the honor of hearing from Compassion alum, Giltbert Mfitundinda of Uganda. You can read more about our Compassion Sunday presentation and event on my other blog, Compassion Family. I never get tired of meeting these amazing people who have benefitted from Compassion's sponsorship ministry. It encourages me to be a better sponsor and advocate for the children.

My garden is entering a new wave of bloom...
and the frogs are everywhere and they are tiny!
I'm linking up with {pretty, happy, funny, real},
The pictures from your trip are amazing, gorgoeus!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures just made me smile from ear to ear! So pretty and I love the little frog!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots - all of them - as usual!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the weekly photo link-up at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2016/06/circa-1953-and-now.html
HA ha! Love the eggs with feathers. And once again, you make me want to drop everything and explore Oregon. I love the moment you captured with lunch on the dock.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of some beautiful countryside. I love that garden blooms come in waves! (And you have the cutest little frogs that visit your space...)
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful images! I love that you all involve yourselves with Compassion! Just love your heart for that. Our eggs used to come with feathers and other, ahem, organic material on them in Thailand. I would dutifully wash my eggs before storing in the fridge. A new comer wondered why I did that, until she bought her first dozen eggs.
ReplyDeleteThe mountains are beautiful! The picture of the little frog on the flower is cute.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness those tiny frogs are desperately cute!!!
