A mid-week thought
I pay tribute to Charles M. Schulz for his wonderful cartoons. I thank God for the creative people in my lifespan who highlighted Christian ethics in their Fiction works.
Sadly, today many of the heroes of children’s literature are SUPER but often lack gentle expressions of love and care.
In 2024 in our lives today the wisdom expressed by Charlie Brown still can keep our focus on life’s finer things as we let God lead and guide us so we will be given by Him the earnest desire to see restored all the fallen in life around us, then go pick them up with kindness and love and show them Who is DIVINE LOVE.
Father, I give thanks today for all the beautiful expressions of love You have given to your children in art, music, joy and beauty though the years.
May we too walk in these places of light during societal discords and jarring unrest and rejoice in our Salvation. A-men
About Faye
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.
