Give away your life; you’ll find life given back, but not merely given back—given back with bonus and blessing.
Giving, not getting, is the way.
Generosity begets generosity.
Luke 6:38 (Message)
We fed the birds all winter.
And now dozens of happy sunflowers greet us under the feeders.
Bonus and blessing.
Truly a golden return on your investment! So good to see you back.
It’s good to be back!
That is so cool and I admire your pictures. I’m a weak photographer. Something I hope to improve with age. Photography, singing…I’d also like to learn Latin. (Not sure how I got here from your post…)

Oh, that’s so funny. 🙂 I took two years of Latin in high school. We were “exchange students.” Some of us went to the Catholic school for Latin, and some of them came ran over to the public school for business classes. I took it in preparation for nursing. I don’t remember much–except a vague sense of conjugating verbs as the nun (in habit) strode up and down the aisles smacking her ruler in her palm.
amo = I love
amas = you (singular) love
amat = he, she or it loves
amamus = we love
amatis = you (plural) love
amant = they love
I think that’s how it goes.
And thanks. 🙂
This is tremendous, Sandra. If you are so inclined, feel free to share it on the Facebook wall of the 365 Club (all about doing at least 1 kind thing each day (365).

What a great group, Scott. Spreading kindness in a broken world. Thanks.
Oh, how cool! I’m gonna quit mowing under our bird feeder. 🙂
That’s the ticket! And they did not grow in the front–probably because we mow there, and it’s more shady. This one is in front, outside the kitchen window facing west, in a stone bed. The other patch is in back facing east where we shoved the feeder pole into the spot we would use for a small campfire–if there weren’t sunflowers growing there. 🙂
Your post made me smile
Good. 🙂
Lovely photos, as always. Bonus and blessing is a perfect description of the mutual benefit gained when we provide for God’s other creations.
Thanks, Carol. And those bonuses and blessings come in all forms when we give seeds of ourselves away, right?
I adore your photography. You are so talented. The birds must’ve know if they planted sunflowers in your yard, you’d make good use of them!
You are too kind! I just bought a book with my name on it–Photography for Dummies. 😉 I’m having so much fun with my big girl camera–learning, learning.
Beautiful pictures…beautiful words…beautiful YOU! \o/
