Collect:

Blessed Lord

Grant grace to hear your word

read it

mark it,inwardly digest it and hold fast to the blessed hope of everlasting love in Christ with the Holy Spirit.

Psalm 123:

I lift my eyes to you on your throne in Heaven

Look until you show me mercy

Kiss and wash your feet

I have had enough of contempt, scorn, indolence, and derision

Show me your mercy

Show me my Master.

I am a child of light

a child of the day with a breastplate of faith and love

Build up each other and live with Him!

Co-create with your master.

Light your basket to shine in the dark!

Georgia O’Keeffe

 

Nov 15,2019
It’s the birthday of artist Georgia O’Keeffe , born in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin (1887). In 1923, she said, “One day seven years ago I found myself saying to myself — I can’t live where I want to — I can’t go where I want to go — I can’t do what I want to — I can’t even say what I want to … I decided I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to.”

 

When I visited the home and studio of Georgia, I found her determination to see by touch,

to go macro to fill a gigantic canvas with one flower,

to negotiate to share her art with her lover,

to be thorny in a desert.

and colorful in a barren land!
