A Painting A Day: Contemporary thrown in with a twist of abstract. Named In Search of the Bow... as the horses are running as if to find the source of the rainbow. The earth is very green after the rain. Thick areas of paint are layered and pulled across the surface. Painted with Holbein Duo Oils, this piece is pre-varnished with several coats of protection before it is shipped to you.
My thoughts for the day:
Have you ever run in a race before? If you were in grade school, every one lined up on a drawn mark on the ground and some one "adult-like" said "READY? Set. GO." and you ran with all your heart to the finish line. In high school and college, runners take their mark and you hear the crack of a gun as they take off on their run. Often the lead runner is a beginner who does not know how to pace themselves. They run out of steam half way through the race. The steady runner has the best chance of pacing themselves through the course to have the opportunity to stay vigilant and cross the finish line first.
Is your life a race? Are you giving your "All" every single day and wearing yourself out along the way? Will you be able to finish the race? How does God fit into all of this?
God has provided you with all you need in this lifetime. For some reason, me included, we seem to believe we want so many things that we work ourselves till there is not much life or time to live as we should be. We are running that race as fast as our legs will carry us. Terry and I made a commitment last night to stop our day sooner. I committed to try and be done in the studio by four every day ( after all I start at 5:30 am) and we will go walk together. When we get home we will share "tea-time" and bible time and then straight from heart talk time. We did it last night and shared things intimate to our hearts. We stopped "running" and spent time together with Him. Our goal will be to have less computers "running", less humans running, and less television. Our goal is more time in the bible, studying and spending time enjoying each other.
Are you giving only "token" time to God? Are you a Sunday church person and then running that race all week not spending time with Him? Does He give you your gifts as a token one day a week?
Let's pace ourselves today and rest up in Him.
