This mid-afternoon shadow was out in front of my journey, it was almost daring me to take the next step. So I did! The Shadow Before Me, is an open invitation, it could be the first step of faith or a friendly traveling companion, but most importantly, it’s an opportunity to be creative!
A little filter fun on display to express the passage of time. Life is a series of transitions, that required us to adapt. Here we see a challenge to shift our thoughts from a southern beach community to that of a northern cityscape.

This cross is happenstance in our court. It was not in my design or my intention but none-the-less appeared to me not too long after it was finished. The artist who created the area in question was not to my knowledge a follower of Jesus, but certainly showed signs of being a spiritual man. Whether he left a message in his work or not I’ll never know. In fact, I don’t really need to know. And that being the case, the question of happenstance now becomes one of His design.
The fourth song released from the ‘Love Strands’ project. A song inspired by Psalm 103:2 ‘Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me.’
Lyrics:
Surely I’ve been delivered
Surely I’ve walked in your grace
Surely I’ve known your favor
Surely I’ve been blessed by the heavens
Surely I’ve slept in peace
Surely I’ve been led to still waters
Surely I’ve known your comfort
Surely I’ve been led to green pastures
Let all that I am shower you with goodness
Let all that I am honor you with praise
May I never forget all the love you’ve poured upon me
Let all that I am be an offering for all of my days
Surely, I’ve been forgiven
Surely, I’ve been made clean
Surely, I’ve known your kindness
Surely, I’ve known goodness and mercy
Oh, that I’d weave your mercies into song
That my jewels of praise would form another crown for your head
That my soul would give off sweet, sweet music
For your mercy endureth forever
I thought I’d let Robert Louis Stevenson’s Christmas poem speak for me this month. The song of the month Oh, Loving God, Help Us, was inspired and written around his offering.
“Loving Father, help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the wise men.
Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world. Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting. Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings, and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.
May the Christmas morning make us happy to be Thy children, and the Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus’ sake. Amen.”
~ Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)
