A Painting a Day
Missed posting yesterday...but back today. I had 16 paintings to ship and it took soo long. Then had to clean house and then I started a painting I will finish this morning...meanwhile I had just finished this one this weekend for J.C. He lives where the trees grow pretty darn well, not like north Texas...obviously they get rain there. As I worked on this commission piece I thought and prayed realizing how small we are in the universe. We are but a blink in time with our individual journeys here on earth. This painting seem to put much in perspective. There are the gifts we have surrounding us that we are too busy to notice because we think normally of self satisfaction; there is the love of a creator that provides for us while we are too busy to notice all the simple things he does as well as the complicated... and the true fact that we are not important, but what we do for others in our journey is important. Today, go out and hug a tree! Take a moment and breathe and look around at all the materialistic things surrounding you...GO OUTSIDE....see the wild turkeys running in the woods, stop and admire the vivid blue skies (unless you live in the ozone layer surrounding Dallas/Ft Worth) , if it is raining where you are be ever so thankful, for there are many of us in cities that are under water restrictions here in Texas. The world is huge, much larger than the room where your computer is ~ go enjoy it ~ go out and LIVE and give thanks as you do!
I am off to paint...it is just now four a.m. here in north Texas. I fell asleep at six thirty last night watching Miracle on 34th Street. Time to paint now.
Almost forgot,
Psalms 119:18-19 "Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. I am a sojourner on earth; hide not thy commandments from me."
Grace,
Laurie
