Spirit's Kiss...

Oh we touch, spirit to spirit we entwine and we are lost in the air

Heaven and Earth draw close to see what's this, spirit's kiss

Oh we love, spirit to spirit we entwine and the truth is laid bare

Heaven and Earth weren't made to see all this, spirit's bliss

You sent the stars to shine in the night sky

and I know that I'm a twinkle in your eye

you make the laughter run like water

I'll be the one to make you smile, make you smile

I wanna make you smile, I'll make you smile

Oh we touch, spirit to spirit we entwine and we are lost in the air

Heaven and Earth draw close to see what's this; spirits kiss

Oh we love, spirit to spirit we entwine and the truth is laid bare

Heaven and Earth weren't made to see all this; Spirit's bliss

**it's a love song like no other... a song that echoes the cry of my heart... my love for God grows deep like the ocean, farther than the sky - I will seek him and reach for him, He is my desire every day - to pour out my love... to see him smile...

It is in the small things that make my heart delight in his love for me... a friend wanting to give me a manicure, a colleague smiling when they see me, a patient complimenting my beauty... all things that I know are purely because of who it is inside of me; because of who I am a reflection of... may that beauty grow deeper and be a more accurate description of my master designer... his handiwork is wonderful - how well I know it!!

Turkey Day

It was a glorious day... in so many ways I have to say thank you, thank you, thank you... I absolutely love this holiday - it gives us an extra special reason to say thank you to our creator for the joys and the beauties in life... This year was the first time that I had turkey dinner in a home that I own... and it went mostly perfectly!! There was a brother missing and a certain adopted sister missing as well (Tamara!!)... but there was an extra special blessing found in Melissa - an agency nurse who turns out is a 'kindred spirit' (as Anne would say)... we dined and laughed and laughed and cried with laughter until the wee hours of the morning... it was grand...

Thank you Papa... for life... for the ability to enjoy life and to share it with your creation - to recognize beauty beyond comprehension in others... help me to never forget that a thankful heart is not one to show up just on Thanksgiving but each and every day that I am blessed with breath... love ya

and the painting continues on...
