His Eye is on the Sparrow

Perhaps you have already seen this email. Perhaps you would like to read it again! This beautiful story is both inspiring and heartfelt! This is for all who believe in God and His amazing love! 


                                 Here a female mate is injured and the condition is soon fatal.
                                  She was hit by a car as she swooped low across the road. 

Here he brought her food and attended to her with love and compassion.
  

  He brought her food again but was shocked to find her dead. 

He tried to move her ... A rarely-seen effort for swallows!

  

 Aware that his sweetheart is dead and will never
come back to him again, he cries with adoring love. 

He stood beside her, saddened of her death. Finally aware stood beside her body
with sadness and sorrow.

 Millions of people cried after seeing these photos
In America, Europe, Australia, and even India.
The photographer sold these pictures for a nominal fee to the most
Famous newspaper in France.  All copies of that edition were
Sold out on the day these pictures were published.

And many people think animals don't have brains or feelings?

You have just witnessed Love and Sorrow felt by God's creatures.

The Bible says God knows when a sparrow falls.
How much more He cares for us.  

Live simply, love generously, care deeply and speak kindly. 
 
Grace is God reaching down. Faith is man doing what God wants us to do, without questioning it. 

"Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point." 


 

History of Piedmont & the Campbell Mansion

This picture was taken about 2006 before we bought it. It has suffered since due to too many  'band-aid' repairs. It needs a complete overhaul which is our intention.

Do you know anything about this house in Piedmont? I would love to hear stories about a prior owner of my house, known locally as the Campbell mansion, if you have one to tell! Do you know any family members of the owners? Do you have any vintage pictures of this house?

Have you some information or a story about Piedmont's history when it was a thriving place to go? Pictures of Piedmont in the past, a funny story, any history of stores that are long gone?

Please shoot me an email, just click on the vintage typewriter on the right side of this page! Your stories are welcome, I'm looking for stories or information for this blog about Piedmont!

This is the sign you see when you enter the east end of Piedmont. No offense to whoever was responsible but it needs to be spruced up a bit. I would love to!

Ripley's Believe It Or Not once pointed out that the Kenny House hill in Piedmont, WV was the only street in the world that you could enter all three stories of the same building!

Just a peek at Piedmont! Let me hear from you!!

Remembering Mommy

Today is the anniversary of my mother's passing. It's 19 years today. This is always a sad day for me until I remember that I am a Christian and I will be seeing her again! Do you have a loved one that has passed and you don't have a recording of their voice? It only dawned on me the other day that I can't really remember her voice. I'm sure that if she were to call me (that would be the most fabulous blessing ever) I know I would know her voice. The sad truth is that I can't imagine it in my head. Please, make recordings of your voice for your loved ones! That will surely help to keep your memory alive!
