Your Hand

I was listening to Waiting here for you by Christy Knockles and I saw myself standing in deep water feeling like I was going to drown, it was called grief and sadness.

Then I saw Jesus lovingly pick me up and carry me over it. I made me understand that it was important for me to go into the grief and sadness... and that the only way to experience this was for Him to gently dip me in a little at a time so I could get used to the feel of it, then He would guide me as He held my hand tightly and He would only let me go so far, then He would scoop me up again into His loving embrace. It was a wonderful feeling and I look forward to each day, with Him holding me tightly, gently traversing this great body of water, grief and sadness.


Your Hand

I see the body of water, it looks dark and scary
Its name: Grief and Fear
I cannot face this alone.. 
I want to  slip into that river: Denial (and you thought it was in Egypt)

To face Grief and Fear I need a companion
A helping hand 
Stretched out to scoop me up in troubled waters
A Safe Harbor in the rough seas

I am more than grateful for Your Hand
Your Love and Faithfulness to me
Your Guidance and Support
And those you send as blessings.

Like Job, sitting in Grief and Sadness
I can be surrounded by loved ones
Willing to just be with me
Willing to listen and hope to understand.

Your Hand of Blessing 
Always Constant
Always Willing
Always here for me.

    BARB'S ARTWORK
    It seems to fall into the category of Aleatoric Art. I just scribble &  it looks
    like something 
    to me, so
    I turn it into
    whatever I see.


    ​Aleatoricart posted this description in September 2011 (this is an elevated view in my opinion):

    "Aleatoric Art is the ultimate collaboration between
    man and the elements. Happenstance, randomness
    and a twist
    of fate’s unwilling wrist go in halfseys
    with some of the most outstanding visionaries
    the planet can boast in a peaceful
    yet often violent serendipity of
    creative cacophony
    to produce works of art that go far beyond those
    of mere mortals alone."
