Artist...God

A mother as she holds her sleeping child....

The bluest skies, sometimes pure and sometimes scattered with the whitest clouds.

A single rose found where you least expect it.

A tree covered by Wisteria to the extent that it simply drips lavender.

Trees draped in Spanish moss which as they are  touched by a Summer's breeze sway every so slightly.

Dogwoods in pinks and pure white...  Azaleas in full bloom displaying the brightest magenta...

Magnolia trees heavy with their large white blooms resting under a beautiful moonlit sky.

The most gorgeous sunrise or sunset that presents itself as the back drop for waves that are gently rolling into white foam caps as they travel inland from where the sea appears to meet the sky.

Honeysuckle vines in full bloom that permeate such a sweet sweet smell.

The colors of the leaves on the trees in the North Georgia Mountains in the Fall.

A landscape blanketed in snow and completely undisturbed...pure beauty.

These are just a few examples of what I call God's Artwork.

 There are and have been artists in this world who had and have great talent and whose works have been

labeled masterpieces.

I will say that the great works of those artists are both amazing and beautiful, and are without a doubt to be appreciated.

I however, see God's works as awe inspiring, gorgeous, breath taking  works that cannot be duplicated

by even the greatest of artists.  They are created in real places and are there for us in real time...

They are to be cherished and appreciated by us in the moment in which God presents them to us.

Each and every day we encounter God's amazing works and for me these are beyond all doubt the true

and indisputable masterpieces....

Do yourself a great service....

Stop and enjoy these masterpieces as God puts them before you...soak them in.....

Be Still and know that I am God...Psalm 46:10
