Ever the Gentleman.....

I am so moved by this German steel engraving from 1920...a sweet & peaceful portrayal of Jesus, lover of our souls, waiting to be invited in.  I know it is only the artist's interpretation, but such a beautiful one, and one that I am especially fond of.  If you click on the picture, you will see incredible attention to detail, and yet it is so simple.  Just like Him.  

Here is love.

finally, brothers, 

whatever is true

whatever is noble,

whatever is right,

whatever is pure,

whatever is lovely,

whatever is admirable

-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-

think about such things.

~philippians 4:8

Adora-BEAU!!!

Discovery awaits

as little fingers, hands, toes and feet

eyes and ears,

mind and voice, heart and soul

all learn their purpose.

Work and play in each living day.

Dreams and life

are the world of a child

awaiting discovery.

Psalm 100

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the

earth.

Worship the Lord with gladness;

come before him with joyful songs.

Know that the Lord is God.

It is he who made us, and we are 

his;

we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving

and his courts with praise;

give thanks to him and praise his

name.

For the Lord is good and his love

endures forever;

his faithfulness continues through

all generations.

For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and 

wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful, 

I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you

when I was made in the secret

place.

When I was woven together in the 

depths of the earth,

your eyes saw my unformed body.

All the days ordained for me 

were written in your book

before one of them came to be.

Psalm 139:13-16
