It is 4 in the morning and this is what's on my desk.
We are leaving for the beach, where we will spend the New Year holidays,
and I am packing all my paints and brushes, etc. to bring.
"My eyes have seen your saving deed..." Luke 2:30
Yesterday the gospel reading was about Simeon, a man who was righteous and devout. He was waiting in hope and confidence to see the Lord. It is not only to Simeon that God has promised to show His face. God wants to reveal Himself to each one of us, that is why He came in the form of a baby, and why He left us all His teachings. In Ezekiel 39:29, God said He would not hide His face from us any longer, for He has poured out His Spirit upon us, His people. Lord, like Simeon, I wait in anticipation! Every day, You want to show me Your face, Your goodness, Your peace, Your faithfulness!
Last Monday, we visited our papemelroti branch in
UP Town Center, and I was pleasantly surprised to see
my son's profile in one of our posters.
Elyse, my niece, designed it.
The picture was taken during our visit to
my husband's hometown of Coron.
This is the view outside of Kiangan Lake.
It was breathtaking!
Joining the lovely Julia Dunnit for a
peek at desks and projects!
I find a lot of inspiration
visiting my friends here:

That is one very nice poster. Made all that more special by the inclusion of your son - very evocative.
ReplyDeleteIt is mild here for the time of year but I don't think it would warrant a walk on the beach - you enjoy yours.

Four am? Good grief, I don't believe I could function well enough to pack at that time! Have a marvellous restful family time at the beach, I expect your lovely shops have been so busy that you're all exhausted. Seems like the artistic gene is continuing in your family, that poster is lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour drawings are fascinating! I love them :) Now, where do you live that you are going to the beach? I live in Florida and the beach is cold lol Have fun :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the beach and the vastness of the water. Safe travels. Happy New Year! Carole 33
