The Lord proclaims: Stop at the crossroads and look around; ask for the ancient paths. Where is the good way? Then walk in it and find a resting place for yourselves.
~Jeremiah 6:16 CEB
Though God's paths are ancient, they are also timeless.

"Morning Has Broken"
(1st and 2nd Stanza)
"Morning has broken" is the title of a Christian hymn first published in 1931. It has words by English author Eleanor Farjeon and was inspired by the village of Alfriston in East Sussex, then set to a traditional Scottish Gaelic tune, "Bunessan". It was recorded by English pop musician and folk singer Cat Stevens in 1971.
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched-they must be felt with the heart."
~Helen Keller
~C.S. Lewis
"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."
~C.S. Lewis
Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrent's and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't collapse because it is built on bedrock.
~Matthew 7:24-25
Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior; and my hope is in you.
~Psalm 25:5 NIV
The psalmist said,
Prayer: Loving God, thank you for carrying and holding us. When we have fallen, when we are broken, when we can no longer move you call, "Do Not be afraid." In every situation of our lives help us to res in you. Amen
~Steven Scheid (Upper Room)
"Where? Where has it gone, that light, that spark, that love that looked into mine? What has it to do with that cold clay? It's here, here, here in my heart. She's in me, around me. Nothing in that clay."
~Anzia Yezierska
~Joshua 1:9 NIV
The earth is my sister. I love her daily grace, her silent daring, and how loved I am. How we admire the strength in each other, all that we have lost, all that we have suffered, all that we know. We are stunned by this beauty, and I do not forget, what she is to me, what I am to her.

In filling the empty space from the love one I have lost, Life has giving me an opportunity to share the artistic and creative work of Crystal's color pencil drawings and coloring. I now have a card ministry called "Crystal Expressions" which is a collection of her artwork used in handcrafted cards. I use Crystal's art to bring smiles to seniors, hospitalized kids, foster children and those who are lonely, isolated and suffering. These cards were mailed to "Small Acts Big Change" to be distributed to nursing homes and assistant living facilities. The spirit of Crystal's art lives on and is enjoyed by the elderly and children across the United States, Canada, Scotland, Holland, Germany, France and England. These are the places where her art has been shared to bring encouragement and a smile.
