I'm running late for the party!
Paint Party Friday that is!
But I did arrive eventually!
Here's page 2 of my altered book.
Again some painted collage elements
glued on to a wall puttied background.
A journal page from earlier in the week,
a passage from Luke 24 which reads,
"He opened their minds to understand the
scriptures."
This is from the story of Cleofas and another disciple
on the road to Emmaus.
They did not realize that it was Jesus
explaining the scriptures to them!
But when He opened their minds to the
scriptures, they were amazed!
And from my journal today,
a passage from John 21:
"It is the Lord!"
Like the disciples, many of us
do not recognize the Lord
when He comes and visits us.
He may be in the form of a friend
who encourages,
a parent who corrects in love,
a letter from far away,
a blog post,
etc.
However, we may be sure that
if we keep our eyes and heart open,
He can open up the meaning of the
scriptures for us!

Patsy, what a lovely post. Can you just imagine being taught by Jesus himself in the person? How right you are, He speaks to us in many different ways and opens our minds to understanding. Thanks so much for linking this to Scripture Thursday. I always look forward to what the Lord lays on your heart. ~ Abby

ReplyDeleteThe painting of the first girl is especially great because she has her mouth open. That's so difficult to paint well. A big salute to you for that. But then, your work is always beautiful.

I love reading the Scriptures as God is showing me treasures and wisdom. I think it makes it much easier to be wise in our speech when we're filling our hearts with wisdom from the Word. As always your paintings full of truth and peace. Love that!

ReplyDeleteEverytime I meet strangers who sometimes need "help", I must confess that I always, always battle with myself whether to attend to them or not. In this days... it can sometimes get really scary with how people do different modus operandi to get their victims... it's sad that the world is turning into this :(
ReplyDeleteBeautiful arts as usual!
