t Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” ~ If there is a lesson here for me it is to turn to the Lord. I’ve always been a little mystified by this story.

ReplyDeleteNice post again
Just lovely!

So very peaceful here. It looks like you live in a beautiful place. Water always soothes my spirit. xo ~ Nancy

ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the watercolor look.
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy piece; love the editing on this shot....
ReplyDeleteGorgeous watercolor! Can't wait until I have scented geraniums in the garden again! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
