PSALM ON SHIRT!

Traveling quite a distance with hubby to a Carolina Hand & Sports Medicine clinic, we took a quick left onto Old Balsam Rd. It was the beginning of a couple of God winks!

The place was packed; the staff were plentiful and helpful. Still lines existed to taste the apples and buy sweet "apple" treats of cider, turnovers, fritters, cookies, loaf cakes, apple pies, slushies  etc. 

But God, in His love and mercy took it a step further to a spiritual realm.

H, our check out gal, had a sweet spirit and a Psalm on her shirt. 

Front and Back. 

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. (Psalm 42:1) 

Conversation ensued. Leaving us more prepared for the upcoming doc appointment! If that's not a "God Wink" I don't know what is!

Soul strengthening is reason we stopped there again as we headed home. H had us laughing and sharing Elvis stories....though we did purchase a few turnovers and fritters to share with godly but ailing neighbors!

All because of a Psalm on a Shirt!

Boun-TEA-ful Harvest

While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, And cold and heat, And summer and winter, And day and night Shall not cease. (Genesis 8:22, NASB)

Autumn is visually my favorite season---the cooling temps also add to its seasonal charm, especially in the mountains. God's offering.
Roasted veggies. Caramel apples. Gingerbread. Pumpkin Roll. An autumn abundance.

What a bounty---apples , nuts and a canopy of leaves in the mountains of western North Carolina this past week. Everything in abundance.

Honey Crisp apples offering a snap and tingle in one's mouth from Barber Orchard off of Hwy 74N on Old Balsam Road just south of Waynesville, NC. Pecans and almonds from the "nut man's" white panel truck at the corner of Hwy 19 and Hwy 276 at the turn to Lake Junaluska, NC and a carpet of leaves as well as a canopy of color above us on the Henize property off of Walnut creek Road and Hwy 64 between Franklin and Highlands, NC.

"The earth has yielded its produce; God, our God, blesses us." (Psalm 67:6) 

How this verse rang true for us and dear friends as we soaked up the crisp, clean mountain air of North Carolina. Carolina blue skies seem to emit a keeness of sorts as the temps begin to fall.

A boun-TEA-ful cuppa blessings for me......and my dear friends!
