Finding fun in painting again
Tree Trunk Tea
I find days with scenes like this so exciting - the wonderful September light, the clouds dark and light and the blue sky always visible somewhere, the trees that look as though they have diamond crowns on top of their head. And as I was cycling here I noticed a white buzzard sitting on top of a lamp post above my head - he didn't fly away as I approached and we both looked at each other in amazement. I smiled and said hi, the bird wasn't sure what to think - I remember his big black eyes looking at me curiously. In all these things I see and find God - they are glimpses of the wonderful life to come - they remind me that God sees me. And it makes my heart full.
Note to self: Rejoice in the Lord. Find your joy in God. In every situation respond with self-control, gentleness and patience, for the Lord sees you, trust that He will defend you. Don't worry about anything. ANY thing. Instead give all your thoughts and desires to God and thank Him for all the ways He's cared for and blessed you over the years. And God's peace, which we don't understand, which doesn't make sense, shall guard your heart and mind and keep them safe and quiet. (Because Jesus Christ chose to carry and eradicate all your burdens for you to have access to this wonderful peace that the world doesn't understand.)Finally: Continually think of things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely and of good report. Meditate on things that have virtue, things that are praiseworthy. Phil. 4: 4-8 - written in my own words.
