Awakening
[slideshow id=73]
Awakening, dawn’s chorus
Welcoming,
The day new, untouched
Waiting to be filled….
And will we paint a rainbow
With all its promise
Or dull the canvas
Sadly seen?
Each day brings its own colours
To be chosen, mixed,
Pigments of joy,
Happy moments,
Smiles and laughter….
And which will you choose?
For ‘Life’ is choice,
We are all painters
In our own way,
All needing to create
Something of worth,
Of lasting beauty,
Marking our journey….
Footprints in the sand….
The sky today is azure,
The sun warm and golden
A filigree of light and shadow-play
Through the gently swaying trees.
I clean my brushes,
Choose my palette
Of vibrant, living colours,
And begin to fill
Today’s blank canvas

Everyday is a another chance to build a bridge of faith hope and enduring love. A chance to let go of the past and choose to 4 give……. a chance to live a life of purpose……..to savor each and every moment that God allows us to live. A chance to love and make a difference in someone elses life.

Touching….
“For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given;
and the government shall be upon His shoulder,
and His name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father [of Eternity], Prince of Peace”

We paint if you want…I want to have your portrait…
And a rainbow that it is a band between the Heaven’s Spirit of Christmas and the New Year beginning on Earth…

When we strive to live the life GOD wants us to do, then we are able to bring forth many beautiful colors to show that we appreciate the LOve that HE gives us each day. I would like to share this with all of you. I have been writing to a young man that is in prison for nearly seven years and he has brought many caring colors into my life. He has drawn many pictures for me and shall always treasure them. It is important that we reach out to others and showing them through caring kindness they are meaningful in our lives.

In deed, each day is a blank canvas. It’s up to us to color our journey with our
God given perceptions, unique to each will the color(s) be ….
