Tomorrow, Lord willing, begins

One that has been filled

With great blessings

For me

Filled with special treasures

Clouds of Uncertainty

10 different photos of clouds — Photos from: http://www.blog.prepscholar.com

Each day

Above us loom

Clouds of uncertainty

Attempting to blanket our hope

We sigh,

And then,

We see the sun, our smiling friend,

Appear, chasing the clouds,

Restoring hope,

And life

I Don’t Know

Posted on June 9, 2020 by Leonas Lines

Sky

I don’t know the why

But I know the One who does

He sits upon high

I don’t know the when

But I know the One who does

And He knows the time to begin

I don’t know the how

But I know the One who does

And I’ll trust Him in the now

I don’t know the where

But I know the One who does

And He’s already there

I don’t know the end

But I know the One who does

And I’m glad He’s my friend

Watercolor painting titled “Happy Accidents” by Leona J. Atkinson 2020 — “Happy Accidents” watercolor by Leona J. Atkinson 2020

Turn mistakes into happiness

Let your creativity flow free

Let those mishaps bring joy

Turn errs into success

Then you’ll be happy

With life’s work

When all is

Said and

Done

Nonet

What I love about watercolor is that a lot of happy accidents occur.

Inspiration Rock Garden created by Leona J Atkinson June 2020 — My Inspiration Rock Garden created in the corner of my back yard June 2020

Smile at everyone

Believe in yourself

Respect others

Dream a million dreams

Create joy and gladness

Imagine new things

Bless everyone and everything

Faith gives strength

Grace is needed daily

Kindness is always welcomed

Peace is precious

Love is the greatest treasure

Hope is an anchor

Joy is contagious-give some away

Free Verse

I had been wanting to create a place to share my painted rocks with others and also offer the opportunity for others to place and share rocks they paint, so after several months of hoping, dreaming, planning and praying it came to fruition in a wonderful way and today it was completed! I am very happy with how it all turned out and feel blessed that it has already been noticed, used, and admired by many in my neighborhood. I am hoping now that it continues to grow and expand!
