Hello Beautiful Souls ♥️
Hope picking blooms of nice and beautiful moments in the midst of odds 🙏
I wonder about days not long ago when world or at least larger parts of planet flourished in peace . It seemed that it was time for world’s people to recover from the trauma of two world wars one after another.When Me and hubby would talk over the cup of tea our topic would be that we were fortunate to live in era where peace and prosperity is at it’s peak and life standards of people are getting better. But it feels that our gratitude fell in the ear of devil and here we are again in the times of fear and despair,waiting for events that might change everything and forever for majority of the people! My faith says as humans we are created to support each other because Nature has designed life that grows and grooms in harmony and destroy and vanish in opposition. I hope and pray we can understand that simple reality spread laid before our eyes everywhere on this planet 🙏
My heart goes to those people who are suffering from harsh conditions weather in many states of America! I pray that things get better soon so everyone can get back to normal life 🤞🙏
On the bright side,sharing flowers of spring from my little garden area dear friends,hope their beauty will warm and soothe your heart for while and make you forget how darkness is covering our light because we refuse to share it further with others like us!

We live in sad times! You give me hope this morning, Baili. I needed it!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Marie,you are so kind ♥️
DeleteYour floral photography is always so beautiful! And combined with lofty thoughts, as you say -- wonderful! Let's hope that the blessings of peace continue, but things do look very shaky at the moment.
ReplyDeleteComing from you dear Debra it means lot to me 🙏
DeleteWhen I was writing this post I had no clue that a war had taken place in one of my neighbouring countries, we had watched news in the morning and war started many hours later, shocking and immensely painful
So many lovely flowers in your garden! Thank you for the lovely post! I hope you are all well and finding JOY every day 💗💕❤️💛 Thank you so much for your visits and comments!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Ellie for your sweet words always 🙏
DeleteLove your spring flowers
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your liking dear Christine 🙏
DeleteAwesome quotes today to make us stop and think about our lives and our world.
ReplyDeleteThinking makes us different than other species dear Red ,being human thinking is our pride and creativity is our crown
DeleteMy dear friend. This is a lovely and loving post. Yes, the world especially the US has gone on a downward spiral. Thank you for your prayers for us and the world. Bringing the beauty of your garden with photos and blessing shows that you are a caring person that is willing to share it. Thank you and have a wonderful day today.
ReplyDeleteDear friend Nichole 🥰
DeleteYour uplifting words have healing power 🙏♥️
I believe politicians have been completely unfair and heartless throughout the history for the public of their own country and countries around them, politics is game for power and it has no rule except personal gain,we all know that .
It makes me happy that my little effort to share positive thoughts and delightful blooms with you has been rewarded with your liking dear friend 🥹🙏♥️
You are generous 🥰♥️
I love the way you pair the beauty of nature with those inspiring quotes; it really uplifts the spirit.
ReplyDeleteYour encouragement means lot to me dear friend Melody 🥰🙏
DeleteYour flower pictures along with the messages of wisdom were perfect for me today. They lifted me from the sadness of the bombings I awoke to this morning. I will mot talk politics of course. I mourn the loss of so many lives and I fear for more.
ReplyDeleteWe do indeed live in troubling times and we will have to navigate the storm.
ReplyDeleteYour quotes are beautiful and uplifting.
Yes , there is no other option except going through whatever comes to us dear Cherie
DeleteThanks for liking quotes 🙏♥️
It's a sad time for so many in this world Baili. We don't know what is to come either, but it sure will affect everyone. The flowers are beautiful and such a delight to see them. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely correct dear Margaret that it will affect everyone not just one or two countries and it’s more sad unfortunate
DeleteGlad you felt joy to look at my little flowers 🥰🙏
Beautiful flowers and wonderful, wise quotes, dear Baili. I have ceased to understand the ways of the world anymore. It would be so simple to have a world ruled by kindness and generosity, but there are those who seek power and control over any regard for humanity. We just have to live the principles of love, charity and hope in our everyday lives and leave the rest to the higher powers. I truly believe in Karma. Sending hugs, Karen
ReplyDeleteSweet friend Karen 🥰
DeleteIt’s nice to know you found my sharing good 🙏
I can relate to your confusion regarding current situation of the world ,when power overflows,it’s hard to handle it wisely. It makes us delusional and we make decisions in rush thinking without thousands of people who will harvest the results of such wrong decisions on the planet. Our planet doesn’t need such misery once again,it needs peace and harmony to grow and thrive
Unfortunately what is happening is quite the opposite, dear baili.
ReplyDeleteMay March be great to you and your family
We can’t control anything dear Pedro
ReplyDeletePray is our only option here as inhabitant of this world 🥹🙏
Dear Baili, this is such a beautiful and inspiring post! Wonderful quotes! Your photos are vibrant and absolutely gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteHello Baili,
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are such a cheery sight for me. Spring flowers will not be around my area for another month or more. It is sad we have to live in fear, I wish there was peace world wide. Happy March, have a great day and happy week ahead.
Beautiful flowers and a wonderful mix of quotes.
ReplyDeleteI send my good wishes for a happy and peaceful new month of March.
Blessings.
All the best Jan
Thank you dear Jan 🥰🙏
Delete“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people." 2 Timothy 3:1-5
ReplyDeleteOh, Baili. Our whole world. Lord, help us.
I have to say, that Rumi quote...wow. He could use a few words to change the whole world, couldn't he? My favorite poet in many ways.
I have stepped away from blogging. I am not sure if I will be back. I saw your comment and came here to see how you are. It got me to thinking about so many things. Well, your post and also what is happening in Iran. Our time here is a blip even during peaceful times. It is a short time we are here, all of us. ❤️
God bless you, Baili.
My dear sweet friend Sandi it’s incredibly kind of you to visit me despite you are not blogging anymore?🥹
DeleteI don’t know why you decided quitting blogging dear friend but I believe we all are free to choose whatever we want for the sake of our mental health 🙏
I totally agree that with time materialism has grown to its peak and we humans are getting away from nature and creator.
But one thing when I look at the history of first man Adam and his two sons . Both had different perspectives and different nature,one was follower of creator other was follower of devil and he chose to kill his brother no matter how good and virtuous he was.
This particular incident in earlier human history reveals that this difference in humanity is pre planned. It’s not that people have been created evil ,but it’s true that half of them would stay with God and truth and half would follow their selfish desires blindly. This is strange game my dear friend we are sent to the world full of so many pleasures and pursuits and complete freedom of choice yet major aim of the game creator seems that who can recognise his false desire and refuse to follow it in order to exist harmlessly.
Some succeed in this and many don’t.
The biggest flaw here is to understand that game and be careful and never feel deceived by freedom of choice because it’s the actual “test”
What is happening in Iran has made everyone shiver with fear for loss of valuable human lives . For creator we all matter,he doesn’t care what we think about each other.he wants his men to have harmony and mutual respect for each other and rest will be straightened by him ,it’s his promise but we don’t see it unfortunately!
You will be in my thoughts and prayers dear friend Sandi ,it was very nice to meet you in blogland🥹♥️🙏
I have been thinking of you as we heard the news of bombing in your surrounding region, baili. I hope it stops quickly. I often think how lucky my generation was to live in relative peace and wish our children did not have to suffer the anxiety of these restless times. Your flowers are welcome for their beauty and tranquillity - thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear friend Jenny for your concerning kind words 🙏♥️
DeleteYes Iran is not very far from here and sudden war break had made people restless.
To be honest my sentiments have been wounded by such terrible news from around the world. It’s utterly painful to see people suffering from wars and inhumane conditions only because their areas carry something wanted by powerful countries. World politics has caused so much misery to the people always and this era isn’t exception. Fight over power and resources is greatest threat for underdeveloped countries.
Pakistan is facing such crisis right with Afghanistan,so we are dealing with multiple wars here .with Broken heart and wounded senses one can only wait for his turn while raising hands for prayers before Creator 🥹🙏
This is nice to know that you liked my flowers,now shared with you all they are our flowers 🥰♥️
Baili, the flowers are lovely and the quotes you included are inspiring. It will be quite some time before any flowers will be seen here as the snow is still very much on the ground and cold weather too. But, at this start of a new month, there is hope for better weather but sadly the world is still in much turmoil.
ReplyDeleteI feel happy dear Dorothy that flowers from my little garden brought you some joy 🥰
DeleteI hope spring arrives in your area soon 🤞
Weather of our planet change eventually.but sadly human nature sustain it’s both sides with consistency. On the one hand goodness thrive and make our Creator proud on his good people.
On the other hand ugliness of bad thoughts and behaviour causes pain to humanity without taking break. We are made to survive in between of both sadly because it’s not straight and smooth way to heaven
Your smiling flowers made me cheerful. I can’t hold back my expectation for the real spring. Today I’m experiencing a sharp, returning g cold snap from the previous warmer days. Have happy days ahead, Baili.
ReplyDeleteYoko
Thank you dear Yoko for sharing your lovely thoughts 🙏🥰
ReplyDeleteIt’s joy to know my sharing delivered little happiness to your beautiful heart ♥️
Boa tarde minha querida amiga Baili. Seja bem-vinda. Fico feliz em mostrar um pouquinho do Brasil, para você. Desculpe a demora na resposta. O Brasil é riquíssimo em cultura. As flores são maravilhosas. Gostei muito do texto: Ganhamos a vida com o que recebemos, mas construímos a vida com o que damos. Não importa se você está no Paquistão e eu no Brasil. Infelizmente o Google, não me permite seguir novos Bloggers. Tenho várias postagens, de lugares que eu conheci no Brasil e te convido a vê-las, quando você tiver tempo. Sou amigo da Nicole, acho que a uns cinco anos. Obrigado pela visita e comentário. Grande abraço do seu novo amigo Brasileiro. Uma excelente tarde de quarta-feira.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Luiz for your very sweet words 🙏
ReplyDeleteI will definitely like to see more of your beautiful country. We have watched some travel videos about your country and it is really rich with natural beauty and culture vibrancy.
I too realised that I am unable to follow new blogs of blogger community I don’t if it’s part of new blogger policy.
Blessings 🙏
Dear Baili
ReplyDeleteI also went in my garden this morning and looked at our flowers. My preoccupations go to my son and his family in Dubaï. I have hope this war ends before a catastrophe.
Dear friend Catherine!
DeleteI hope and pray that your precious son and his family will be in the grace of God🙏
Being a mother I can understand your concerns and worries!
Both my eldest son live in abroad and whether peace or war it keeps my heart in grip of concern despite all my faith 🥹
I really hope that other countries will take some serious step towards peace contract between fighting countries 🤞
Que lindas as flores gostaria de ter um assim, a natureza faz bem, Baili feliz quinta-feira bjs.
ReplyDeleteI am glad dear Lucimar that my flowers made your heart feel happy, I wish you early spring my friend 🙏♥️
DeleteThere is so much suffering and terror right now, but Ali's beautiful flowers give me hope, Baili. Thanks for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteDear friend Louise 🥰
ReplyDeleteI fully agree that no matter how much nature has gifted us with blessings to live a good life, life is still full of chaos on the other hand. Man has been created with such impulsive desires that no matter how much he gains he never feels content and seeks out to more power. After two big and long wars we have hardly taken sigh of relief and here we are creating new series of suffering for ourselves unfortunately,it seems to have no end.it’s sad and heartbreaking ☹️😞
Bonitas flores e reflexivos pensamentos. Obrigada.
ReplyDeleteTudo de bom.
Um beijo.
Thank you dear Grace 🥰
DeleteBaili such beautiful thoughts and photos with great quotes. Chuck Swindoll is a favorite of mine...I believe he is now 90 plus years old and still sharing God's love. Yes may we pray for peace and the Lord's protection. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks dear Debbie for your sweet comment 🙏♥️
DeleteReading your response I just checked about Chuck Swindoll ,what a great and inspiring personality!
Isn’t it wonderful when we understand our purpose of life , to me it’s sharing what we have,love of God particularly. Only thing on earth that increases by sharing 🥹♥️🙏
Baili, your pictures and quotes have truly brightened my day! Such terrible times we are living in, indeed. So thankful for our hope in the Lord, and that someday there will be peace on earth. Your flowers and quotes share the beauty that we can all enjoy even in the midst of the sorrow and trouble we face. You are always in my prayers, dear friend! Many blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteSweet friend Marilyn 🥰
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for visiting precious post and leaving such uplifting message🙏
You yourself are pure and beautiful light of faith and love my friend who enlighten our hearts by sharing it with us 🥹♥️
I feel blessed to know you because just like you I too am deeply connected to Divine since I am in my senses 🥹🙏
All of our troubles are rooted in our distance from our central Force our Creator our provider. We see what happens to petals when they are separated from their centre because it was centre who had kept them joined and together. Partitions are not good for our survival. Even though we all need to build our individual identity but complete departure from center is destructive and dangerous,we can get loads of worldly stuff but we will never be at peace inside and this anxiousness eats up our hearts and souls and balance between body and soul is disturbed. Resulting into the irreparable damage we see today 😞
A heart of faith cannot loose faith though, I too believe that these twists are turns are part of our game of life and there is always sunrise after darkness of the night ☺️🙏
You too are always in my thoughts and prayers dear friend, best wishes to you and loved ones 🙏
