Daily Pics #21.
Good morning all! Wow, this marks 3 weeks since I started with these daily pics, time flies. And it’s Monday! I always like to call it Marvelous Monday, after all, why not? It’s amazing how a name or word can change our perception of something. If we say it’s going to be a terrible day, it usually is. Not that the day changes, we do. We just need to have a better attitude about our day. Will that take away all the problems? No. But we will be able to handle those problems better. More sunshine in the forecast for us today. Fantastic. And today I will have a “blue” Monday of flowers for us to enjoy…
Beautiful little blue forget-me-nots to start off our “blue” Monday.
And a beautiful blue bachelor’s button. I wonder who gets to name these flowers? Both of these flowers are true pleasures and treasures.
Enjoy your Marvelous Monday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

1 Grateful Person Award!
Hello everyone and here we are with another award, and a first time for this one for me! Thank you so very much Keziah for nominating me for this award! If you have not checked out her blog before, this would be a good time to do it, say “hi” and maybe even give her a follow to encourage her a bit.
INTRO: This tag is based on Luke 19, the tale of the ten lepers. In the story, Jesus heals ten men with leprosy, a terrible disease that removes your capacity for pain reception. Sadly, only one of the ten healed men came back to thank Jesus, and it is after this man that we aspire. Let’s be like the one leper, a man who’s gratefulness won over his joy.
Rules for this award are:
1: Use any picture in your post that expresses gratitude
2: Pingback to the original post at 1 Grateful Person
3. Share the intro
4: Share what you are grateful to Jesus for
5: Share a passage from the Bible about gratitude that means something to you.
6: Tag anybody
Okay, I’m supposed to share a picture that expresses gratitude. Hmm, that’s a tough one.
I think this pic fits, the little pine siskin was grateful for getting some free food on a cold winter day, and I was certainly grateful to get this picture. Hopefully it fits anyway.
Short list of things Steve is grateful for:
Life that God has given me.
Muffin.
Family.
Friends. (that includes all of you)
My animal friends.
Being able to walk down my forest path, which most of you don’t know, I wasn’t able to do for some years due to health.
The health I have. Hey, things could be worse.
Like I said, a short list, otherwise this would be really long.
Muffin adds:
Chipmunks.
Food.
Several nice warm beds.
Especially my human who entertains me with funny things he does and spoils me!
Bible verse:
“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.” Psalm 103:2
