I am so thankful you stopped by my field of dreams today. I have just sat here and read through all of the first page of your posts and they bless my soul so deeply, your first being the daisy's. I love daisy's. Then all of the beautiful photography of your color wheels, but the one that had me wanting to cry and drop to my knees was the dream you had of us being in white robes and it just moved me so deeply.
I have always felt that to understand the Bible we must always look to the feasts and the stories behind them because we will still celebrate them in heaven.
I will be back.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for using your beautiful gift to glorify our Father,
Blessings to you today.

Oh, I love these daisies, Karen! Your talent is such a blessing to others. I hope you know that. Just lovely.

And these were my grandmother's favorite flowers. I have a photo of her standing beside some daisies, going, "He loves me. He loves me not." And there is a write-up from the society column about a party she gave where there were "daisies, daisies" everywhere. It was a summer party, and apparently she hand painted a daisy screen. She was quite the artist and studied "china painting" in finishing school. I don't know what happened to the screen, but the orchestra sat behind it. Doesn't that sound romantic?

I'm off in a few, but I wanted to drop by and visit you first. I'm so glad I did!

XOXOXO,

Sheila :-)
