Such a beautiful sight... we want to capture it and keep it always. The girls and grandma used water from the lake to make some water color paintings. How we love to paint!
All the colors of the rainbow are needed to express the wonder of our week here!
Delightful, Delovely and Deliriously happy is a good caption for this one!
Add a pink and yellow watering can to the light and color palet that abounds as the sun plays on the huge body of water and the sugar sand makes a easle for the girls and boys at play and serious creating!
The glorious sun is the supreme paint brush of all the splendor of the universe, but it certainly doesn't hurt to have a sweet girl with brown flowing hair and a yellow flowered swim suit sitting on a bright beach towel with the blue shimmering lake and the soft sand and all the colors of the rainbow in the box of watercolors... God had a lot to work with in this work of art!
Oh the sweetness of it all, and the joy to the eye! Jesus, thank you for the feast that our eyes are filled with as we praise you with our lives lived out in this miraculous world of yours! Life is a gift and your world is beyond our wildest dreams sometimes... we see you in the beauty of nature and every face that we see in our lives... Jesus, we trust in you!
Bless-bless, Barb"Do small things with great love."
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
St Therese of Lisseux before her
"This, then, ought to be our great Christian mentality; a readiness to admire the things of God, a readiness to admit that he does great and marvelous things, that he is great in nature; great in heaven, great in grace, that he is the Creator of earth and heaven: that, in the words of our Blessed Lord, heaven is earth's throne and earth is his footstool; that there is nothing in the vast universe which is not the handiwork of God, and that therefore it is full of endless glories, possibilities and marvels. We have but one thing to do- a very easy thing at first sight - just to admire it, to love it for its beauty and riches, to clap our hands in our surprise at its glories and its mysteries. This is part of the great natural goodness of creation which we accept everywhere, and we should just admire, as children admire." Dom Anicar Vonier OSB
