Joy Comes in the Morning

Today is Saturday and a new beginning. I was feeling down in the dumps yesterday regarding the skin lesions and I kept painting and stopping etc., etc. This morning I decided I could not afford to stay in the "pity party" as my issues are so miniscule compared to those that others had just experienced in Florida and elsewhere. Who am I to complain or feel sorry for myself?
I realize depression is a foul spirit and I would no longer obey to its call.

Let us all pray for those in Florida who have been injured, pray for those who's relatives have died the past day or so and for those who have had terrible financial hardships. I pray that they would sense the hand of God and feel the prayer of those around the country who lift them up.
May they see the good in God even during these very trying times.

I am writing today because I sense a new beginning....the old has passed away. Yesterday is just that - yesterday and today is a new beginning. There may be sorrow in the evening but joy comes in the morning...that is God's promise to all of us.

May God continue to richly bless your lives.. I have some new paintings but will post them at a later date as I must get back to painting. We leave for Florida again on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning so time is passing quickly. May God also bless those artists out there who are experiencing difficulties in their lives and for those who are travelling or exhibiting at outdoor shows this weekend.
