During one of the struggling periods of my life a dear friend said. ‘ When you are trapped by circumstances and you cannot go out to look for beauty then create your own.’
She sent me an adult’s Colouring Book and during the days of physical inactivity I simply coloured my limited world.
Today I was looking for images from that colouring book but I found the image above by accident.
Higher now than any beauty my eyes can see, is my Prayer for all who may be feeling frail today.
Lord God may ALL who are seeking for beauty and reality in their mortal lives – may they find it in the SAVIOUR OF THEIR SOULS. In Jesus’ Name A-Men
When you have Jesus Christ the Pearl of greatest Price by acceptance of HIM and HIS Sacrifice for you, beauty can be found everywhere even on the darkest wind-torn night.
I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions.
I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
Praise be to Him – Who WAS and IS and always WILL BE! π
