WOYWW: Great are the Works of the Lord!

I woke up late today and

so I decided to make my painting simple

and easy to do.

I also decided to spare you a picture

of my messy desk.

After drawing, I used carbon paper to transfer

my drawing on to my ready made background.

Here is my drawing.

Now to get out my paints and brushes.

The verse I am illustrating is from

the Book of Psalms-

"Great are the works of the Lord!

Ps. 111:2

So many exciting things happening

in the world today.

Yes truly how great are the works of the Lord!

And the amazing thing is 

He wants to do work through you and me!

Great are the works of the Lord...

what does He want to do

in this world?

When Jesus saw the widow

he was moved with pity for her

whose only son had died. (Luke 7:11-17)

The Greek expression that Luke used

to describe Jesus' feeling means

"to have mercy from one's inner core."

(from The Word Among Us)

As we are called to be Jesus to others,

let us remember Teresa de Avila's poem,

"Christ has no body but yours

No hands, no feet on earth but yours

Your eyes are the eyes with which he looks

Compassion on the world

Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good

Yours are the hands with which he blesses

all the world.

Yours are the hands, yours are the feet,

Yours are the eyes, you are his body."

Every week I choose one wonderful visitor

who leaves a comment

to receive an ATC from me.

I know it takes so much time and effort

to leave a comment

and I appreciate it soooo much!
