MONDAY THOUGHTS: STARTING OVER

When you have a habit of saying “God takes care of me”, should you ever be surprised when He does just that? 

I’m grateful today; marveling at how my prayers were answered.
It’s been a healing year.

I remember when I unpacked my paint and brushes. I’d almost forgotten how lost I could get in the act of painting. 

I’d used the small canvas as a palette for the last piece I painted, as a farewell to my family home. 

I looked at the small canvas with the build up of acrylic, and decided not to toss it, but give it an image of its own— something that conveyed the peace, freedom, and gratitude I felt; 

something that spoke to the importance of appreciating the simple things, and the necessity of stopping to see the beauty all around me.
