Today is November 5, 2013 as we are approaching Thanksgiving then in December Christmas, two very celebratory months where families come together and pause for a while, just for a very short while giving thanks and worship Jesus birthday on December 25. I always love Christmas, my mother’s birthday was in December and so we happily celebrated each year and so enjoyed this time and in my paintings today this is for, Jackie, my mom, who art in heaven today with our Lord of Lords and all the Saints, Glory Be. She was my best friend and my best critique and so enjoyed every art painting I painted for her, not like the world, so I have deferred back to her suggestions and not the world’s suggestions on what makes good painting. She knew more about  art than the judging world, and so I take pause to reflect on her wisdom. Thank you mom.

If you do not honor your mother and father, take a moment and pause and know that you are not abiding by God’s commandments and this is one of his higher order instructions from Jesus. Thank God for Jesus!!! Do you remember what the 3 exclamation marks mean? In the Name of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost. Ok now back to painting. Have a great day. Maybe make a list of all your blessing, just 10 a day and see how many days you can go before the list is completed? (smile)!!!
