Excited & Overjoyed!

This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice & be glad in it.

When I opened my emailed yesterday, I could hardly believe that my photo had been accepted in a juried photo exhibition at the Fifth Avenue Art Gallery in Melbourne, Florida. I, like many artists submitted our work to be considered but only 64 pieces were selected and mine “YES MINE” was select. So excited – the reality is still sinking in!

Just the thought that something I created will be on display at an Art Gallery is both exciting and overwhelming. I’m attaching a similar work but the original will be on display from September 5th – the 27th.

Awards will be announced at a reception on the evening of Sept 5th between 5:30-8:30pm. So if you’re local let me know if you’d like to attend.

God’s plans for those who love Him are beyond what eyes have seen, ears have heard, or what our minds can conceive! 1 Cor 2:9

God is good and His mercy is everlasting. Blessings, Cheryl

Good Friday

Happy Good Friday This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified. I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead. Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions. Family traditions can be as simple as attending ️ church and having lunch or brunch together. Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to tea...

Why God Wants to Bless You!

Why God Wants to Bless You! “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV), “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
