Heavenly Skies

“He must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.” 
 Acts 3:21 (NIV)

    Looking to the sky is such a tonic for whatever ails you. Beautiful and inspirational photos! It's funny because I had the same thoughts on my blog today as well :)

      Rosemary, I think the sky has some healing virtue for it lifts our spirits and inspires us to greater heights.

    The sky in these beautiful pictures look somewhat like the sky here in Sicily today. It is very cloud and incredibly windy. Trapani is located between two seas so we always have a lot of wind, sometimes very, very strong winds. It has been very hot and sunny till about two days ago, now autumn is coming. Yes, we were in Rome for about a year and a half, now my husband and I are back in Sicily but my daughter is in Rome working, she got a temporary job. We are hoping her contract will be renewned. It is so hard for young people to get jobs these days. In Sicily it is out of the question, that is why we tried Rome. Have a wonderful weekend Joyful! Hugs.

    Good morning Joyful
    Beautiful "celestial" images you show.
    Thank you for your comment on my post today.
    The roses are from my garden - but it is probably also the last bunch I can pick.
    Everything is covered by hoarfrost here - all white but incredibly beautiful.
    Wish you a good week-end.
    Hugs Hanne Bente

    PS! I dropped out of challenges (themes) but look every day into your blog!
