ART & POETRY FROM PAUL & KATHY BOECHER©

Today’s watercolor shows a depth of color using only earth tones. The deer is feeding on lush grasses as the trees protect her from predators. You can see the light dancing through the branches as she fills her tummy with nourishment. A taste of morning dew adds to the meal. It is so comforting to know that the God who created all things makes sure that they are well provided for and protected. If he does so with the creatures of the forests, how much more will He provide for the ones He created in His own image. Blessings every day, even when we don’t honor and thank Him for them. Thank you, Jesus, for another day.

Encased by brush and branches there, the safe refuge holds you tight,

The world is oh so far away, you’re hidden from its sight,

The fear you hold within your mind, adrenaline will excite,

But comfort still you harbor there, it prevents you from all fright,

So quietly you stand at bay, you hang on with all your might,

The clouded, purple skies of above, retreat into endless night,

You know you can’t hide forever.  Your dreams fade and lose delight,

He knows your every single move.  From heaven He sees your plight,

He sent His Son to die for you – and eliminate sin’s bite,

He changes hearts and human minds.  He’s returned dark into light,

Your life is in His strong right hand, your future is looking bright.
