Inspiration comes from everywhere...Just Live

Just LIVE!
one day at a time
one fear at a time
one belief at a time
one illness at a time
one healing at a time
one hurt at a time
one forgiveness at a time
one despair at a time
one hope at a time
one hate at a time
one love at a time

do not live on auto pilot

(these words inspired by Morgan on Fear the Walking Dead

Glory Land



Dearest Daddy,

I bless your name for all you mean to me.
I want me on earth to value your plans always first.
Give me your love, mercy, forgiveness and bounty.
Save me from the evil one.
Make me pure.
I want to dwell with you now and forever.
Amen

Working in a series

This group was inspired by Julie Fei Fan Balzer's post today with gelli prints and pan pastels, inspired Birgit Koopsen. Since I didn't have all the supplies in the post, I improvised with my own cut stencil and acrylic gellli prints plus some watercolor and markers.  The single tree is the cut stencil with gelli print behind peeking through.

remember

 
 
eighteen years ago
terrorism came to America
it never left
we lost
respect
kindness
strength
wisdom
belief


with God's help we will find it again

remembering

whether it's been two weeks or two years or six years....we remember...we grieve....we reminisce





my mom and dad....when the love began....
it still grows in heaven

be God's gift to the world

be the gift God made you to be
 if comfort is needed give compassion
 if joy is needed be the lighthearted
 if understanding is needed share God's wisdom
 if hope is needed express it with God's word
 if answers are needed say a prayer
 if forgiveness is needed forgive them as God would
 if patience is needed ask God to help you

don't you just hate having to replace something

we had to get a new printer...blah, blah, blah...why do they change but not improve models? why can't they keep a popular model for life? why do they wear out? why do we wear out trying to install it, learn the new tricks and move on with our day? why do we let this stuff bother us? it's not a problem if we say it's not, but it always is...blah, blah, blah...I'll stick to art!

Labor Day Gleanings




fresh morning mercies
fill my heart
new hope
restores my soul
abundant blessings
lift my spirit
gratitude
rules my day
 

I will find the path God has set for me. Age weary issues do not win over God’s grace. I will stay strong in my faith to allow His perfect peace to wash over me daily. He is always with me. When I don’t find His all power and divine presence. It is when I let someone or something else get in the way.

Thanks be to God for His immeasureable love, joy and comfort.

I rest in Him!
