Creative brilliance

By Patty Perkins

Psalm 111:2 “Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them.” (NIV)*

Petals delicate

beckon life to still,

to ponder the intricate

and admire what God has willed.

Come delight

in a 3D canvas,

art of the master’s hand,

inspired by creative brilliance.

Love your words, and I love lilacs–I could almost smell them, pressing my nose close to the computer screen! God bless you today–love, sis Caddo

“beckon life to still,

to ponder the intricate”

Patty, these lovely words perfectly describe what happens to me when I spot a new set of blooms opened – especially fragrant ones like lilacs…!

Blessings ~ Wendy
