Garden of E'den ~ Enjoy the Beauty of the Simple Things

I had started this project a couple of years ago, I was even in the process of recording a video for it, but when I made a decision to delete all my social media accounts, I didn't see a need to finish the tutorial, so I deleted it. Well, I did make some time last year to complete it and now I would like to share it with you. 

Be sure to "Enjoy the Beauty" of the simple things.

Genesis 2:8, 9, 15

8 Further, Jehovah God planted a garden in Eʹden, toward the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9 Thus Jehovah God made to grow out of the ground every tree that was pleasing to look at and good for food and also the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.

15 Jehovah God took the man and settled him in the garden of Eʹden to cultivate it and to take care of it.

Matthew 7:13,14

13 “Go in through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it;

14 whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it.

Matthew 24: 20,21

 20 Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day;  

21 for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.

Love Never Fails ~ Memories

The past Assembly in 2019 titled "Love Never Fails" was very memorable for me, something of a special meaning that cannot be explained. As I go through my trials, I always refer to the Bible for comfort, but there were times where I will go to my other love...the love of Art.

• Memories ~ The Cloud

Excerpt...

""Love Never Fails"

 

The very last day of the assembly, as we got on the highway heading home, the vision in the sky, a beautiful array of cumulus clouds were spread across the skies. As I was looking out the window admiring the skies, as I often did and still do, I suddenly started paying close attention to the clouds, they were beyond beautiful that day.

As I was looking at the clouds, one in particular suddenly stood out, I had to do a double take...I was caught in Time. My hands pressed against the car window, I had instant butterflies in my stomach, and for a moment, it actually caught my breath, Awe-Inspiring to say the least. It was a massive cloud, it looked like it went from the Heavens to the ground here on Earth. The sun rays where shining through it in an array of rainbow colors, the most beautiful and familiar feeling in the world. 

  "I saw it before, as a child, exactly as it was", there was no doubt in my mind.

At that very moment, I knew Jehovah was with me and reminding me."

Like Jehovah's Word, art also brings me peace. Although this project was created in 2019, it is one of my newer projects, I never got a chance to share it, but it is very fitting for how I feel today...Love Never Fails.

I thank Jehovah, who is my God and my Father in heaven!

Matthew 6:6 ASV — But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.

1 Corinthians 13:8-10 ASV — Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.

1 Corinthians 14:1-2 ASV — Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man understandeth; but in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

Psalm 34:18 ASV — Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.

Live in the Moment

In today's trying times we need to stay positive and focus on what's good. Here's another project share from many years back. Due to the Corona Virus the JW Assembly has been canceled, unfortunately, I don't see myself getting baptized on that day, but it's okay, because I am still very content with knowing that I've already devoted myself to Jehovah.

Psalms 16: 7-11

7 I will praise Jehovah, who has given me advice. Even during the night, my innermost thoughts correct me.

8 I keep Jehovah before me constantly. Because he is at my right hand, I will never be shaken.

9 So my heart rejoices, my whole being is joyful. And I reside in security.

10 For you will not leave me in the Grave. You will not allow your loyal one to see the pit.

11 You make known to me the path of life. In your presence is abundant joy; There is happiness at your right hand forever.

I Give My Life to You

Have a beautiful day!

Well-Watered Garden

Isaiah 58:11

Jehovah will always lead you And satisfy you even in a parched land; He will invigorate your bones, And you will become like a well-watered garden, Like a spring whose waters never fail.

Jeremiah 31:12

They will come and shout joyfully on the height of Zion And become radiant over the goodness of Jehovah, Over the grain and the new wine and the oil, And over the young of the flock and the herd. They will become like a well-watered garden, And they will never languish again. 

Have a beautiful day.

Flourish Butterfly Tag

Luke 10:22

All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son is willing to reveal him.”

 

Matthew 17:20

He said to them: “Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard grain, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”

Romans 8: 38,39

38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life nor angels nor governments nor things now here nor things to come nor powers

39 nor height nor depth nor any other creation will be able to separate us from God’s love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Have a beautiful day.

Treasured Memories ~ The Quieter You Become

I made this a few years back from an old salvaged book. I altered the pages by adding gesso, paints and inks. By adding some embellishments, texture and stamping I created this little water world. I truly agree with the sentiment "The quieter you become the more you can hear. I love how it relates to the scriptures below.

Matthew 13:9, 11, 12

 9 Let the one who has ears listen.” 

11 In reply he said: “To you it is granted to understand the sacred secrets of the Kingdom of the heavens, but to them it is not granted.   

12 For whoever has, more will be given him, and he will be made to abound; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him

Have beautiful day.

Secret Garden

I had made this wooden box for special keepsakes, a few little notes from my boys and a butterfly necklace my mom made me. 

Genesis 2:8, 9

8 Further, Jehovah God planted a garden in Eʹden, toward the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 

9 Thus Jehovah God made to grow out of the ground every tree that was pleasing to look at and good for food and also the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and bad. 

Have a beautiful day.
