“Then God looked
over all he had made and he saw that it was very good!” Genesis 1:31
It’s been a while!
Life has been busy with the renovations. I've been doing my part in helping it get
closer to completion. There is still much to do to finish it off in the way of
details, but the heavy groundwork has been completed. I am so pleased
with how everything looks.
In the mean time,
despite not blogging, I have been able to stay connected to God. During quiet
evenings, I’ve spent time drawing, deep in the contemplative prayer that makes
the art such a blessing in my life. He has already given me the next image to
work on which ties into the series we are doing at church.
That’s been amazing
as well on so many levels. It’s called “Origins, the story of everything that
matters.” (It can be found on the Meeting House website.) We are exploring the
creation story. I am astounded that much
of what we learned over the last two weeks ties directly into the tapestry
drawing I posted the other day. Affirmation is a wonderful gift.
Despite not writing,
I have felt close to God as I learn the incalculable value of human company. (Smile.) Last
night at home church, I sat on the couch between two men—one well known and one a
stranger. Not long ago, this is the last thing I would have done!
I can only confess
that this was a God moment because some time during the last couple of months,
something has been released. Or perhaps something has shifted. Or maybe it doesn’t
matter if I know the how or when because all I need to say is, “Thank You,
Jesus.”
Small beginnings can
lead to great things.
Thank You, Lord, for
small beginnings.
AMEN!
