Happy Passover
Journaling reads: The Jewish community celebrates
Passover at the same time as I celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Passover is the celebration of the Jews being rescued from slavery in
Egypt. Resurrection (Easter) reminds me of the resurrection of flowers
and trees, etc. after winter's grave. And I love seeing the resurrection
of these delicate flowers every year! A celebration of renewed life!
That is what I will celebrate this Easter.....my new life in Jesus
Christ.
God is Sovereign
Journaling reads: God
showed His strength and sovereignty in the plagues on Egypt. He controls the hearts of men for His
purposes and protects His children, even when we are rebellious! That is just proof of His agape love! We can’t do anything to make God love
us. He just does! Thank You, LORD!
True Love
Journaling reads: Mom
and dad celebrated 51 years of marriage the December before he died in Mar.
2003, mom in 2005. Mom had been in a
nursing home for a couple of years after dad could no longer take care of her
with Alzheimer’s disease. He tried to
care for her as long as he could at home.
He spent a lot of his days at the nursing home feeding her and taking
naps with her, just to spend time with her.
I love and miss them both!

Journaling reads: “Better
than wasting your time trying to 'Find Yourself' is to seek the Lord that you
may be found of Him!” Pastor Burford
Isaiah 55:6-7; "Seek ye the LORD while he may be found,
call ye upon him while he is near:
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his
thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him;
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."

Journaling reads:
I love finding
little surprises in the grass. These are
just a few I spied today. It amazes me
the beauty that is found in the blooms of weeds! I did a google search to find the names of
these little beauties that abound in our yard every year! Mark mows the lawn and they pop right back
up! Blessings from the Lord in the curse
of weeds! I love that!
“Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has
come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.” Song of Solomon 2:12
“Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don’t work or
make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as
beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are
here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you.
Why do you have so little faith?” Luke
12:27-28

The Violet
by Jane Taylor (1783 – 1824)
Down in a green and shady bed,
A modest violet grew;
Its stalk was bent, it hung its head
As if to hide from view.
And yet it was a lovely flower,
Its color bright and fair;
It might have graced a rosy bower,
Instead of hiding there.
Yet thus it was content to bloom,
In modest tints arrayed;
And there diffused a sweet perfume,
Within the silent shade.
Then let me to the valley go
This pretty flower to see;
That I may also learn to grow
In sweet humility.
Viola (plant)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Viola is a genus of flowering plants in
the violet family Violaceae. It is the largest genus in the family,
containing between 525 and 600 species. Most species are found in the temperate Northern
Hemisphere; however, some are also found in widely divergent areas such as
Hawaii, Australasia, and the Andes. Some Viola species
are perennial plants, some are annual plants, and a few are
small shrubs. Many species, varieties and cultivars are grown in
gardens for their ornamental flowers. In horticulture the term pansy is
normally used for those multi-colored, large-flowered cultivars which are
raised annually or biennially from seed and used extensively in bedding.
The terms viola and violet are normally reserved for
small-flowered annuals or perennials, including the wild species.

Journaling reads: I
love this delicate pinkish purple flower that comes up every year in the front
of our house. I decided to find out more
about it. From the Southern Living
site: Oxalis has leaves typically
divided into three leaflets, giving them the look of clover leaves. Flowers may be pink, white, rose, or
yellow. Good in borders or pots and
resists deer.
I changed out the ribbon and leaves and buds from the
template and used elements from the kit.
But since the flowers on the template had 5 petals like my flowers in
the photos, I just changed the template flowers to the colors given in the
description of the Oxalis flowers. I
added the yellow centers using a round brush.

Journaling from word art reads: A strong woman knows she has strength enough
for the journey, but a woman of strength knows it is in the journey where she
will become strong.
I processed my photo in Deep Dream Generator which made it look very much like
a Leonid Afremov painting. I blended my photo into one of the papers from the
collab to give it a bit of a grungy look. I added the shadow beneath the bike
and woman.
