Flashback Friday: Dog And Butterfly

"See the dog and the butterfly,
Up in the air he likes to fly
Dog and butterfly

Below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground, laughing
She don't know why, she don't know why
 Dog and butterfly..."

This week's "Flashback Friday" showcases two lovely ladies
who have been best friends since their girlhood school days. 
The talented guitarist-singer on the right is Patty Vesper
while the equally gifted singer on the left is my sister, 
Daniele Spence, whose birthday is today! 

🎂Happy Birthday, Sis!🎂 

 

Both girls are big fans of the rock group Heart, so it's no
wonder I found their cover of "Dog And Butterfly" on YouTube!

 

Released in 1978, this soft romantic ballad was a departure from the
usual rock songs sung by the band's lead vocalists, sisters Ann and
 Nancy Wilson, and is said to have been inspired after Ann looked out
the window one day and saw a dog relentlessly chasing after a butterfly.

 She saw the song as an inspiration for when things get tough in life, 
"to keep going" after it.

Thursday's Thoughts: God Is Never Beyond Our Reach

 

 

 "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
(Psalm 34:18)

 

 

Jesus And The Woman Caught In The Act Of Adultery

No one ever sought the Father

and found He was not there,

And no burden is too heavy

to be lightened by a prayer.

No problem is too intricate,

and no sorrow that we face

Is too deep and devastating 

 to be softened by His grace.

No trials and tribulations are

beyond what we can bear

If we share them with our Father

as we talk to Him in prayer...

God asks for no credentials-

He accepts us with our flaws.

He is kind and understanding

and He welcomes us because

We are His erring children

and he loves us, every one,

And He freely and completely

forgives all that we have done,

Asking only if we're ready

to follow where He leads,

Content that in His wisdom

He will answer all our needs.
