~You Are Mine

While praying one day, a woman asked, "Who are you Lord?"
He answered "I am "
"But who 'is" I am" she queried
And He replied, "I am Love, I am Peace, I am Grace, I am Power, I am the Creator, I am the Beginning and The End,
I am Most High."
The woman, with tears in her eyes, looked toward Heaven and said,"Now I understand.
Lord, who am I?"
God gently whispered, "You are Mine"

Good Morning! (well it is "here") ;P

~ On Another Note...
I shopped for a card this afternoon for a friend who had lost a loved one. I finally chose one with an Irish Proverb on the front. I had never heard this prayer/proverb, though I found it to be so inspiring...so I copied it (in the front of my Bible, no less :) It meant that much to me. (The first time a poem made a page of my Bible!)
I wanted to share it...so, here goes...

Without sorrow,
the heart would never

learn the meaning of

joy.

Without tears,

our eyes would never

see what we hold

inside.

Without darkness,

we would have no

reason to look at the

Light of Heaven.

--Irish Proverb

Blessings to ya'll,
I am thankful to have finally figured how to get my photos all in one place (well almost ;) and to have somewhere to pull together so many things that mean so much to me...and share them!
After searching through and assessing every option under the sun...
I settled on good old blogger :)
I figure, from here... I can add a link to my "Flash Galleries" as well link to my "personal home-site" and various and sundry other links that I feel led to include in the weeks and months to come.
I have to share that I am soooo excited to be embarking on this new journey of the heart!, and am praying that this can be a blessing to all who mozy on by!
as an aside :P
~ the featured photo is of Purple Coneflowers and serves to prove that you never know what you'll see in the 'drive through' of a Mc Donalds! and a lesson (to me as well...) that if you love photography, you should never leave home without your camera! Even if it's for a cheap ice-cream cone run and Micky D's! (smile)
