Life

No one can boast about life.

It's like a flower the blooms in spring;

It withers, it dies; however,

It's not forgotten.

It's forever engraved and lived by the people left to continue this life.

This life that will soon wither and die but not forgotten.

A few weeks ago, I was really missing my mom and felt prompted to paint. I’ve had on old storm window from their house stacked out on my deck, so I turned on one of the FB Live videos that my church had posted and started painting while I listened. Before I knew it, all of these wonderful colors were coming together creating a garden, and as I was adding the final details I realized that it was my mind’s eye version of my mom’s garden in Heaven. Yesterday, I leaned it up next to my sliding glass window to see what it looked like with the sun shining through it. It was magical. It looked like stained glass, and I thanked God for prompting me, and allowing me to see beauty through my pain. Later in the day, I heard a thump and shatter. The wind must have caught the corner just right to push it over, making it fall face down. I just sat there...but instead of being devastated I was just thankful that I saw what I created be elevated beyond what I could do because of the sun shining through it making it radiate, and then I thought of my kids. That’s exactly what has happened to them. God took what I created and elevated them beyond what I could do because of the Son shining through them and making them radiate. #iamblessed #livelifewithjesus #paintfromthesoul #seekjesus (at Gearhart, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDZzEhIp4AahBqT_tGJlEcBSrnwBKpT8nqALoQ0/?igshid=6388qrbcfy15
