Simple advice
Does suffice
When life gets hard
And worries bombard
Take a break
And eat cake

Dont worry or hurry
Trust God to care for you
Like the birds do
Haiku
“Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” –Jesus. Matthew 6:26
Amazing Love
“Love you.”
I say to Him,
My creator in heaven.
“Love you more” is His reply to me,
“Always.”
Cinquain
“This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.” 1John 4:10 NLT
“Amazing Love” song
Everyone Has Their Days
Physically on earth
We will lose sometimes.
Yet, Spiritually,
We who are in Christ are winners,
For In Him is victory.
Tanka
Today, on earth, the groundhog didn’t see his shadow so Spring won and Winter lost.
Today on earth, at the Super Bowl, the KC Chiefs won and the San Francisco 49ers lost.
Today, somewhere on earth, someone in the world received Christ as their Lord and Savior and the devil lost.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ 1Corinthians 15:57
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 1John 5:4
National Freedom Day
If you possess it
Hold it tight
Freedom is precious
Syllable Lune
National Freedom Day in America commemorates the 11th Amendment which abolished slavery signed by President Lincoln on February 1, 1865.
On this day we pause to give thanks for the freedoms we have, and pray for those peoples who do not have freedom, for even though slavery was abolished all those years ago unfortunately it still exists today worldwide.
Art in Many Forms
Writing releases thoughts of mind and heart
Poetry captures feeling
Journaling reminds, records
Painting lets feelings flow
Dance brings release
Music infuses
Art inspires
My heart
Daily

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. —Pablo Picasso
Beyond a Glance
Looking with your heart
Through the eyes of God
Reveals hidden things
Syllable Lune
This week I chose to do a 33 Dot Art Drawing.
It was explained as an experience to discover hidden things in your art that at first glance your eyes might not see but that through prayer God might want to reveal to you.
It sounded intriguing so I decided to try it.
Instructions are: with paper and pencil shut your eyes and make 33 dots on the paper. Open eyes and connect the dots in one continuous line without lifting the pencil from the paper.
Pray and ask God to show you what He might want you to see or what He wants to reveal to you.
It might take some time to see and know exactly what that might be, because for me, at first glance, I only saw Disney animals in my dot drawing—Goofy, Pluto and Dumbo, but then after a few days of prayer and pondering I saw the Hammer, and then the Bible verse in Jeremiah 23:29 came to mind.
The end result was an amazing work of art that I feel God wanted me to create!
Sometimes…
Opportunities
In disquise
Look like obstacles

Memories on Canvas
Thoughts of cherry trees on
Gloomy winter afternoon
Paintbrush reads my mind
Haiku
January
The sun sleeps.
Rain drizzles upon
Decaying leaves.
Misty morn.
In the bleakness, a patch of red.
Camellia blooms.
Shadorma
My Camellia plant offers a bright spot of color on this dreary January day.
