I like the warm days we often have to break up our winter here in the plains area. After a period of cold it's nice when the weather warms up for a few days. But I never want the warm to last long. I have this theory that we have to have a number of cold, dreary days so let's just get them over with.
I'm making progress in learning to live with the ups and downs of life; to enjoy the sunny days without worrying about what may come later. I'm not in control, but I can let God have control. I can trust Him when the cold, dark days come again.
THIS IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE
The sunrise is so beautiful
as it touches each thing in gold,
awakening a sense of wonder;
almost more than my heart can hold,
and am glad and unafraid
for this is the day the Lord has made.
Now problems begin to worry me
and storms start to gather about,
ending the day in confusion
as my mind is tortured with doubt,
But I will be glad and unafraid
for this is the day the Lord has made.
I am learning to walk each day,
to accept any kind of weather,
the pattern of life is woven
from the good and the bad together.
So I will be glad and unafraid
for this is the day the Lord has made.
"This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it".
Psalm 118:24 (NIV)

About the Book
Do you look at nature and see God?
Do you marvel at creation?
Ruby Tobey does, and in this book, she expresses it with verses (scribbles) and drawings (sketches). Ruby writes about nature, family, flowers, and everyday happenings. Each thought is accompanied with an inspiring scripture and her black-and-white sketches. You will find new appreciation for God in her writing as well as enjoy her many drawings.
Kansas artist Ruby Tobey started writing short verses to accompany her black and white sketches. While she was raising 3 children the family often traveled in an old school bus camper and she filled many sketch books with ideas. She feels that her greatest blessing is the husband who patiently waited while she wrote notes and drew pictures.
“You often express what I feel,(and wish I’d said that”).
Jane Bowen—Georgia
“I certainly enjoy your work, your devotionals, and poems. Thank you for sharing God’s gift He has given you.”
