"Suddenly about ten yesterday morning, the storms had blown through and I picked up an empty canvas and started painting this soft precious group of iris. It would be rich in a frame that brought out the delicate beauty. There was no pre thought which was not good... I worked on it about 7 hours. Enjoy the day today... "
Delicate Beauty
The definition of Delicate Beauty is "1. exquisite, fine, or subtle in quality, character, construction, etc. 2 having a soft or fragile beauty. 3 (of colour, tone, taste, etc.) pleasantly subtle, soft, or faint.
When I think of delicate beauty, my mind envisions our family and our Father God. He created each of us uniquely to be who we are with certain gifts he bestowed to each of us, as well as talents and bad habits. If you take a group of 14 of us... that is meshing together a lot of delicate beauty. I can honestly say, sometimes in the war zone of families, that is not always best side forward.
Uniqueness of families is being aware of each persons weaknesses and their strengths. In a family, you pull together for each other no matter what the situation is and you are always there for each other. Not sure about your family but the times of unexpected things prove us to be strong together. As the 'Mom' and 'Oma' of this group, I know I worry too much about each and every one. Terry, as the 'Pop and Bampa' of this tribe, keeps me balanced as he does each of them... staying and navigating our best course always.
Sometimes we are blessed in a lifetime with those we call family, and I have had some wonderful relationships in the past, today and hopefully for many years to come with those family friends. For me they are like sisters and brothers and they are people I can be brutally honest with or intimate with fears and worries.
When I was cruising the internet for delicate beauty, I came across This delicate Lover: God rarely embraces us by Force. I recommend you click over to check this article out. God does go through delicate (extraordinary ) lengths to keep us obedient to His will. Dr Jeff Mirus writes to remind us God has a habit of quietly working to remind us of His love... never forcing anything. I giggled at a program he wrote that the Lord could have for us... you need to read it. There are Delicate Miracles and Habitual grace too. God is the master of sweet somethings... in HIS DELICATE WAYS!
We are blessed with our delicate balance of love in our 14 member family. We travel this journey together under the love of our Almighty God!

“And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. And when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And behold, there came a voice to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?... Go, return on your way.” [1 Kgs 19:11-15]
