Road trip to South Carolina

Hello Blogging Friends,

I hope you are having a good day and if  not I hope it gets better. Today I have some pics of a recent road trip to South Carolina .

I found this cool postcard image on Google search, it gives some insight to what you can find traveling around SC.Our final destination was Greenville,which is in the Smoky Mountain Foothills.

I love to take roadside pics, this giant peach was alerting us that we were in Peach Country.It was a little too early in the season for the harvest or we would have stopped.

 Next I have some Haywood Mall Pics , I just snapped anything I found interesting . I liked these kitty & doggie planters.

In Claire's, I thought these Cherry Headbands were cool.

I spotted this fun trackless train.I love trains ! The engineer was nice enough to wave .

Beautiful Pink Heel , beautiful to look at ,not to wear.

A very fancy Faux Cake .

A happy Spring Cookie.

Two beautiful blooms from a friend's yard.

More blooms from a Wal-Mart stop.

Images from one of our favorite restaurants,Cracker Barrel.

  We visited Greenville's famous, in the heart of downtown, Falls Park on the Reedy.  Across the street from the park ,was a small park, dedicated to Dr. Charles Townes, with a few park benches . His revelation about lasers came to him while He was thinking on a Park bench. The benches were to give others an opportunity to have a revelation too.

 I spotted this little Zebra Striped car as I crossed the street.

I snapped this at NC Welcome Center, but I don't what it is ,I think it's a cool bush.

A wonderful roadside sign.

I will leave you with this Bible Verse :
"Let not your hearts be troubled , You trust in God ,Trust in me also." John 14: 1

Reminded me of this song by Third Day.



 Amen, I trust in Jesus!

National Day Of Prayer

Today is our National Day of Prayer. I hope all Americans will join Dr. Jeremiah in His prayer for our Nation today. I know many are attending different events across  American today. But  if  (like me)you don't make it out of your house today . You can still be a part of this day and pray.  

2012 National Prayer

Dr. David  Jeremiah - Honorary Chairman

Heavenly Father,

Every good and perfect gift comes from you . You are a faithful God and your mercy endures forever.

You have promised to bless the nation that trusts in you . Our currency proclaims "In God We Trust",but in our culture we are far from You.

In the words of the prophet Daniel " We have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from your precepts and your judgments,"

We come before You once more, seeking your forgiveness and mercy. You, O God, are our only hope ...Hear our prayer and, for your honor's sake ,shine your face upon this nation.

Give our leaders the desire to seek Your wisdom and the courage to follow your guidance...and watch over the men and women of our armed forces as they sacrifice for the cause of freedom.

We give You thanks for all you have done for us, and we earnestly pray that You will help us become once again , a nation whose God is the Lord.

In the name of Your Son , and our Savior (Jesus), we pray this prayer.

 AMEN

Love & Blessings,

My Visit to the Billy Graham Library

Hello Blogging Friends ,

I am very late posting this week. I was out of town Monday and the weekend .One of the places I visited  was the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte , NC. It is a very nice place . It is an  inspirational tour of Billy's life .I would recommend it to everyone ;Admission is free!

.
It also has on the grounds, the Homeplace of Rev. Graham

Pic of Billy Graham homeplace  from their website .I did not take one with a  full view  .

The Library is in the Barn, I Love the cross on the Barn!

Tour starts with Bessie the talking cow,she tells of Billy's early life on the farm .

Below are scenes from museum tour.

Replica of fireplace in Graham home.

Ruth Graham was born and raised in China,.her parents were Missionaries. When asked "Who was the greatest Christian he ever knew ?", Billy's answer was Ruth,My wife.

"The Cross", 32 foot mural painted by the late artist Thomas Kinkade. It is spectacular!

The bridge of crosses you enter through  to view the "The Cross" mural.

Bronze statue" The Sower & the Soils" by artist Tom White.

The Graham Brothers Dairy Bar was cool!

  


Next pics are of Ruth's resting place in the Prayer Garden.
The Chinese Character on Ruth's tombstone means Righteousness.

I love her epitaph! She saw it at the end of construction on a highway and thought it perfect for a epitaph .
As Christians , we are works in progress, but when we  finally join Jesus in Heaven , it will be the end of our Construction and He is very patience with us !

I will leave you with a quote from Billy  and a Bible verse.
"God proved His Love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the World, "I Love You." "
"While being found in form of a man , He (Jesus) humbled himself , and became obedient unto death,even the death of the cross." Gal.2:8
