Prayers Please

 

I have a wonderful husband who will do this for me too. I fear one day I will not have him anymore. Please send us prayers for his health. We are in need

Swinging Purple Gnome

 

Today's Artwork is an 8.5 by 5.5-inch multi-media Swinging Purple Gnome. I used these materials: Artist Loft, Watercolor pencils, and wells. I was inspired by the first days of spring and wanted to make a series of cards to give out this spring. I have about six made so far. They are all colored, and I will post them daily. Please let me know if you like one and want one. Each card costs $5, and the print costs $1.50 plus shipping. These were all created and hand-painted by me. If you wish to have a printed card, I can get copies made and send them at a cheaper cost.

I took Casey, my new puppy, to the vet yesterday for her first set of shots. Sadie will be going next month for her annuals. I am glad they get along. The only time I have to worry about them is during snack time. Sadie does not share well. She is a weird dog, lol. She will let other dogs with her eat out of her dog bowl together—no problem! The silly dog freely shares her food, but you give her a couple of treats, and she is aggressive about them.

Letting Go of Worry

 

What if we knew for certain that everything we're worried about today will work out fine? 

What if . . . we had a guarantee that the problem bothering us would be worked out in the most perfect way, and at the best possible time? Furthermore, what if we knew that three years from now, we'd be grateful for that problem and its solution?

 What if . . . we knew that even our worst fear would work out for the best?

What if . . . we had a guarantee that everything that's happening, and has happened, in our life was meant to be, planned just for us, and in our best interest? 

What if . . . we had a guarantee that the people we love are experiencing exactly what they need in order to become who they're intended to become? Further, what if we had a guarantee that others can be responsible for themselves, and we don't have to control or take responsibility for them? 

What if . . . we knew the future was going to be good, and we would have an abundance of resources and guidance to handle whatever comes our way? 

What if . . . we knew everything was okay, and we didn't have to worry about a thing? What would we do then? 

We'd be free to let go and enjoy life.
