Description

One day Jim came home with a painting of sunflowers that to me was really ugly - every sunflower was exactly the same like it was stamped on the canvas, and the vase white with two swans. When I took my painting class in 2007, I wanted to experiment, so tried painting over the parts I did not like - ie. all the sunflowers and the vase. The outcome is now hanging in our guest room. So maybe it should be entitled, Sunflowers Makeover, but in any case, now I enjoy it. I wrote the following poem..................................BLOOMING IN THE QUIET PLACE

Jesus speaks to my heart:
Come into the quiet
where you hear still waters
where you breathe in the sheer fragrance
of beauty.
sights and sounds of harmony
like waters softly rippling over
old, smooth stones.
Sunflowers stretch upwards to
reflect the glory of the SON
and wild violets hide under trembling leaves,
glowing purple in dark green coves,
their fragrance reserved for the One who comes
seeking them.
There is room in My Kingdom for both,
sunflowers and violets
and for others too numerous to mention,
but who are engraved on My heart.
Morning glories awaken to the rising Son,
and dance in swirling azure skirts.
Climbing roses offer their perfume
to those who desire them enough to avoid
their thorns.
Calla lilies stand tall, pure and dignified.
Velvety pansy faces, unafraid, turn toward
the face of God.
These and more bloom in My garden
awaiting the seeker,
the one who would come to Me,
so that I can give rest.

�He chose us...in love...to the praise of the glory of
His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the
Beloved.� 2 Thessalonians 2:13
