My Love Reveals Objects

my love reveals objects

silken butterflies

concealed in his fingers

his words

splash me with stars

night shines like lightning

under the fingers of my love

my love invents worlds where

jeweled glittering serpents live

worlds where music is the world

worlds where houses with open eyes

contemplate the dawn

my love is a mad sunflower that forgets

fragments of sun in the silence

There is so much pain and
suffering in our world today! 

It is good to  reach out and draw
strength and encouragement

from each other when facing days
of distress and discouragement!

 Please, if you get a chance, go to

    2 Timothy 1:7

For God has not given us a

spirit of fear and timidity,

but of power, love,

and self-discipline.

Luke 1:37

For nothing is impossible with God.

Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy,

it does not boast,

 it is not proud.

It is not rude,

it is not self-seeking,

it is not easily angered,

it keeps no record of wrongs.

 Love does not delight in evil

but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts,

always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.

 And now these three remain

     

 faith, hope, and love.

      But the greatest of these is love.

     1 Corinthians 13: 4-8a, 13

Have a wonderful evening!   

For Cynthia!

During Winter, 
it is hard to find the
warmth of the Sun when

so many days are so gray
and cloudy...and cold!!

So when something
special happens to us,

the urge to share good feelings
 is very strong! 

Today, 
I want to share about
an amazing person
and a beautiful web site

that found me and
touched my heart!

Cynthia at:
beautyandblessings.blogspot.com
has one of the 
most inspiring blogs that

I have had the
pleasure to read!

Every post she has
written will touch your heart
and the spiritual messages

 will bring peace to your soul!

  Cynthia  reminds us to appreciate

all of the wonderful blessings
that we have and to

 listen deep within our

hearts to the message
that God is bringing

us through those blessings!

So I am sending a

"Big Thank You"

to

Cynthia

 for all of the inspiration
that sheis so willing to share

with others and the
wonderful messages

that she incorporates in every
loving post she writes!

This clip art is my
special gift to you, Cynthia!
