…Friday’s Fave Five.
1. My niece shared this photo of my Pop that she took while he was reading his Bible in his room at my sister’s home. He reads every night before he kneels at his bed and prays for all of his children and grandchildren and great grandchildren. This is a favorite blessing of mine. A Pop who loves the Lord and is obedient in his prayer life and Bible reading. He will be 93 on May 25th.
2. Our rhododendrons are at their peak and I am grateful that we have these established plants in our yard to enjoy. Rhododendrons are the Washington state flower.
3. My visit last Friday with my brother’s family in Austin, Texas is a favorite for sure.
4. My rosebud Azaleas are filling out and showing their glory this week, too.
5. On Thursday we took a ferry across the Puget Sound to visit dear friends of ours. We were able to catch up and have a time of prayer together as we all face our fleeting time on this earth. It was good to be together. How about this wonderful view they have from their home?
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Here in the U.S.A. and Canada we celebrate Mother’s Day on Sunday.

What a sweet photo of your Pop! And what a blessing to know he is walking with the Lord and praying for all of you.
The rhododendrons are lovely. We had some at our former house and I had forgotten how pretty they are in bloom.
What a gorgeous view from your friends’ home! Glad you had a good visit.
You chose the perfect day to do a ferry crossing! Beautiful rhodo’s!

How amazing to still have your Father at 95! He sounds like a wonderful, caring man.
Your Pop is indeed a blessing.
I love all five, but I am particularly touched by the first and last. How wonderful to see your dear father being faithful in his walk with the Lord and praying for his family. I also love that you and your friends prayed for direction for your “fleeting time on this earth.” Oh that we all would number our days and live accordingly! Thank you for this post!
Your five are wonderful! Your dear Pop is so very faithful – such a treasure for your whole family. Have a wonderful weekend and Mother’s Day Ellen!
Such a lovely post, with such sweet love & great photos, Ellen,
Happy Mother’s Day !
I’m so glad you have an image of your dear father reading and praying for his family. Wonderful blessing this week, Ellen, from beauty in your garden to beauty in your family.
The photos of Puget Sound are gorgeous, as are the flowers! How beautiful to be covered in prayer by your Pop. You are blessed, indeed.
Wow! What a beautiful view your friends have. The Puget Sound is a wonderful area. 🙂
It’s obvious that you enjoyed your visit to Texas, especially your time with your brother and his family.
Love the rhoddies!!
The photo of your sweet Pop is one to treasure. Parents who pray for their families are extra-special. Beautiful photos of Puget Sound.
The photo of your father is priceless!
I’ve always wanted to see Puget Sound. It’s on my list!
