Fairy Lights 

Fairy Lights

As darkness falls, the fairy lights in my garden completely change the ambience and atmosphere. The darker it becomes, the brighter they shine! A sinister, uninteresting corner is sprinkled with light, interest and intrigue!
This is exactly how we should be living our lives. We may appear ordinary or even unnoticeable at times in everyday scenarios BUT when people around us need hope, when those in our community are wrestling with shadows of fear and pain and hurt, this is when we should come…

Being Taught

Sometimes God gently teaches me to paint and create. As He does I usually have no idea what the finished project will be or what it means. However, as I finished this particularly drawing (which is definitely not the kind of art I normally produce) God began to speak to my heart.

Fruition

It will come as no surprise to those who know me well but one of my favourite foods are berries. In fact, I have a whole section of my garden devoted to all kinds of wondrous little packages of goodness. Berries are tricky to harvest though. They require hunting and the ability to seek out the hiders. Some types of berries grow on thorny vines which makes picking even more difficult.  All these soft tiny fruits also have quite a short life span. This means they need to be gathered almost daily…
