The Art Of Love And Grace

In Laughter We Love

I woke up this morning thinking right away about laughter and love, how such beauty can orchestrate the most magnificent joy in the toughest of times. Laughter is that instant vacation that takes you away from your present circumstances, your disappointments, your worries and the instantly fade away for a brief amount of time. Now the wonderful thing about love is, it's like a thumbtack that sticks to the forefront of your mind and your heart. Together laughter and love make a marvellous song that can bring the greatest of triumph.

I created this art piece of Lee and Rosemary from the tv show "When Calls The Heart" and it is a joy to make this kind of art because the purity of the show is amazing.

A Day Of Snow

A DAY OF SNOW

Yes, I'm one of those people. I'm one of those rare breed that love it when the snow falls, it's something in my blood, or in my disposition. I just can't help myself, I feel like a kid every time I see the snowfall.

In Langley, BC. it's a rare thing that comes and goes usually quickly and so when I get a chance I capture it with my camera and I search for the most beautiful moments worthy of a smile.

First of all, it's a no brainer to go right to Fort Langley and just hunt for those amazing moments. They are too easy to find but in the freezing cold, it's worth it!

Of course at the end of it all I had to write in the snow at FLEFC the word Jesus, simply because he is the reason why I have such an amazing outlook on life, love, laughter, grace and so much more. Bless you all!

The Morning Of Grace

Well how do you begin a morning full of grace?!

That is a good question and often people ask me "why are you such a happy guy all the time?" Is it because i'm ignorant of current circumstances, trials, adversities or dilemmas? No in fact I'm very aware of many circumstances and trials but what makes me smile in the morning, what makes me really happy; it's the simple things in life. Counting your blessings and being actively aware of what God has done and in doing so, I see He always has good things ahead. Sometimes the road is rough, maybe even brutal, laced with blood, sweat and tears but eventually God always works it out for His good and for mine as well.

The joy is knowing God always has everything under control and He's not surprised by what we face or what we must endure. He is always perfect in His love, mercy, grace and His timing. He knows just how to turn the most impossible things from sour to sweet, from ashes and dust to a mountain of victory. That's the God I serve, the God of perfect grace and that makes me smile, makes me overjoyed in every circumstance. I'm not dumbfounded by adversity but rather I'm inspired by God's perfection and His faithfulness despite overwhelming odds.

When you feel discouraged, count your blessings and literally name them one by one. Suddenly things seem much brighter in the end.
