A Painting a Day
Good morning! Sunshine and heat creeping in here...but understand it is miserable across the nation.
This is a small rose that was fun and relaxing to paint to loosen up before doing a large painting. Rich colors and contrast playing the red against the green. Contact me if you are interested!
Thought wise, much is bouncing in my head. As we were sitting at the eye doc yesterday I picked up a magazine and was browsing the pages. There was an article about a writer that had interviewed many older adults about special times they could remember in life. The adults that told of a wonderful happening but then interjected something horrible attached to it that disrupted the joy of the event and then left the story at a low point were most likely to be adults with depression and mood issues. The other group that stood out were the adults that told of a joyous occasion that might have emerged OUT of a negative thing...so their stories started with negativity but ended with happy ending. This group obviously wore their rose colored glasses, but this was the group that was happiest with life and the world around them.
God is consistent and loving in our lives. We often are tense and anxious and forget that God/Father is there but we aren't focused on that, we are focused on the issues at hand. God has a path for you, but you have to turn your focus back to him and not to what your issue is. He will restore your confidence as you step out in faith.
Grace,
Laurie
