Today, may the sun shine brighter upon your face,
and trickling waters seem more refreshing than before.
May the feathers on a birds wing and dew stricken petals on fragrant flowers
stir the joy of God’s creation within.
And, may the cool breeze that travels on warm spring air
rush though your soul and bring peace that settles life to a satisfying beat.
Amen
I look at the world around me and I see beauty everywhere—the sun rays shining through the space between leaves of a tall oak tree dripping with moss. The crisp edges of red and orange marbled maple leaves that have fallen onto a path worn by reflections and prayers. Puffy white clouds that look like elephants, giraffes and race cars contrasting on the bright blue sky backdrop. A shiny penny on the sidewalk of a busy downtown city that reads ‘In God We Trust,’ reminding us to steward everything we’ve been blessed with. Sparkling lights on a giant skyscraper of a Christmas tree adorned in splendor and glory. The smile from a baby in an elevator who knows no stranger and looks you in the eyes with sweet innocence, as if to remind you that love is real and the future is hopeful. A gentle rain pattering on the roof edge outside my window accompanied by a soft rolling thunder in the distance that stirs my soul to honor God in every season. The creases around a grandmothers eyes when she smiles from a satisfied life as she enjoys time with her family of 5 generations. There is so much beautify around us and much to be grateful for.
I am me. A woman who loves all things art and looks for beauty and grace in the world around me. I believe in Jesus and I anchor myself in His love. I value family and relationships. I am sentimental, romantic, deep-thinking, giving, thoughtful, and can be a little bit sassy sometimes, especially if you want to race me in my car or I turn on 90’s hip hop music while driving in the fast lane. I am a creative. I paint, I draw, I write and I dream. I do it all for the Glory of God.
