Pomegranates

Again something farmy, pomegranates..

In the bible pomegranates are often mentioned..
“I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.”

That's why they are always so popular..

A thought for the week.....

Matt 6:34"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now,
and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow.
God will help you deal with whatever hard things
come up when the time comes.

Rehab centre - day 3 & 4

I've tried to master the sea & are constantly working on it.
At least most of the room is covered with sand & sea, now I must just give the sand more dimension & start those paintings of children, buckets, spades & shells.
While I'm working in the hall, from somewhere I can hear a air con in the background. I imagine myself being on the beach while painting the sea & shore.

Day 2 - rehab centre

On day 1 of this project I felt a little discouraged, 'how am I going to manage all this painting?'
Today ,day 2 it all seems a little better.Slowly the colour is starting to dominate all those white walls & the little progress gives me hope. I'm sure when I start adding more colour it will all look better. At the end I also changed the colour of the sea. Like my daughter says, ' a little more child friendly'. Keep you posted tomorrow.


Some sandcastles...........

Murals - Rehab childrens rooms

Academic hospital of Tswane ( Pretoria ) opened a rehab facility for children. I was asked to paint the walls in a sea theme. For the next few days I will not be able to paint as much, but will upload the progress of the room . Hope you enjoy something different for a change.
This is one of the walls. I have only drawn the image, will start painting it tomorrow. It is the sea & shore.

Fruit of the spirit

This morning when I finished my painting of pomagranates I could not help to think about - ' the fruit of the spirit ' AS IN THE BIBLE. As a mother it is sometimes necessary to remind myself often of love , peace, joy... in the rush and busyness of our lives of school , sleep , eat , homework. So today as I remind myself I just wanted to share this measage to all you friends out there.........

( SOLD )

You are here: God >> Fruit Of The Spirit

Fruit of the Spirit - Visible Growth in Jesus Christ
"Fruit of the Spirit" is a biblical term that sums up the nine visible attributes of a true Christian life. Using the King James Version of Galatians 5:22-23, these attributes are: love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance. We learn from scripture that these are not individual "fruits" from which we pick and choose. Rather, the fruit of the Spirit is one nine fold "fruit" that characterizes all who truly walk in the Holy Spirit. Collectively, these are the fruits that all Christians should be producing in their new lives with Jesus Christ.

Sometimes angels skip around
And in their blissful state of glee
Bump into a daisy or sweet pea.
