Art Journaling Challenge and ATC

Done for March AJWK 1 found here:  https://oscraps.com/community/threads/march-aj-challenge-week-1-perspective.41702/ 

From the time we learned Tim had melanoma cancer, we began to pray that the Lord would heal him.  We even had a special gathering for prayer for him one day at church.  He went through 5 years of trial medicines and treatments of immunotherapy.  Only one treatment worked at all, but his body quickly became immune to the treatment and stopped working.

The melanoma was under the skin. The doctor told us that the cancer would not kill him being under the skin.  The concern was if it ever went to a major organ.  Unfortunately, it did go to his brain.  In a matter of months, even after surgery, he died.  It may not seem like it, but the Lord did answer our prayers.  Tim is more than 100% healed now that he has transitioned to his heavenly body.  8/12/17

“Perspective is everything when you are experiencing the challenges of life.” – Joni Eareckson Tada

When I saw the bunny I thought of Easter. When I thought of Easter, I thought of the resurrection of Christ. When I thought of that, I thought of the resurrection each of us will go through after we die. That made me think of the death of my husband.

Pine Warbler

Done for the MultiPhoto Challenge #7 (that I am hosting this month) found here:  https://oscraps.com/community/threads/march-challenge-7-multiphoto-challenge.41629/ 

I love the yellow color of this male pine warbler.  He has been coming to the feeders since the neighbors had their pine trees thinned out back in the woods across from our property.  He looks like he is eating pretty well!  He spends most of his time at the bark butter feeder.  January 2025
