Pray
In the Francis Chapel there is shallow bowl of sand. Sitting beside it, another pottery piece containing small white candles and a box of matches.
When times were troubled and my heart torn
I oft used to go there, to lay them before
the One, the Creator, problem solver extraordinaire
light a candle say a prayer
I’d leave them at the foot of the cross
pray a few words, cry out my needs
then unburdened I’d quietly leave
my heart stilled, faith renewed
Then again I’d return to light another one
to say another prayer
a thank you for miracles done
and the Grace of the Son!
Praise God!

THank you my friend…I’m getting a little more daring in my old age I think I would never have had the courage to write this and doubted the shot itself…thought it was boring.
Funny how we change, isn’t it? But I am so humbled and delighted that you like it…xxxxOo

I have found Jan, my ideas expanding a great deal from my time on RB, and the opportunity to see a great range of other’s works and interpretations continues to inspire me to try new things out.

I agree with you about ideas expanding…and I can certainly see it in your work. I mean, who’d have thought that a writer would be taking the brilliant macro shots like your dandelion one….an absolute stunner my friend!!!!!!
I love the bubble!!! The mutual encouragement and stimulation of the imaginaition and creativity is amazing and wonderful and totally beyond price…as the add says….the cost of affirmation? priceless!!xxxx

Oh my goodness Marie!! I am so very humbled. Thank you so much. As you know I’m hardly on here at the moment for various reasons, not the least of which is internet access, so it is sheer Godincidence that I decided to respond to one of my Red Bubble Activity emails…don’t think I ever have before!!..xxxx

Many thanks my friend. I am very touched and humbled by your kind comments. All I know if the glory and honour do not belong here nor rest with me. If the words I have been given touch someone, then that is who they are for. bless you.
