"Hidden Beauty"


I found this beautiful white lily in the midst of green leaves in a small garden pond in New Hampshire. It took several attempts to paint it.

Sometimes, like this flower, we feel like we are in a place where we stick out like a sore thumb. Sometimes we wonder why God put us there. Maybe, like this flower does to that pond, our presence adds to the contrast created, and voila! - there is beauty to behold.

Congratulations to my stepdaughter for her successful graduation from high school and for her two-year scholarship! We love you, darling and we are so proud, so very proud of you!

"Dear Lord, thank you for the many blessings, for good health and loving family and friends."
