An Affectionate Touch

An affectionate touch can be:
The fingers of a small child gently brushing against my arm.
Someone placing their arms around my neck.

When a person walks by and lovingly rubs my arm.

Someone wrapping their arms fully around me and embracing me.

A sweet little kiss from one of my nieces or nephews .

When they begin climbing up onto my lap, with the warmth of their bodies against mine.

All of Creation Sings

I enjoy being outside with the warmth of the sun beaming down upon me, warming me from the inside out. All of the colours and textures of creation surround me. Vibrant greens, crisp yellows and deep rich purples, are just a few of the colours that accent creation.Soft white and pink blossoms begin blooming, small round cotton balls that resemble fluffy clouds. Take a moment and breathe in all of the fragrances and sights of creation.

All of creation sings.

You are always there

You are always there, no matter what I am doing.

I feel Your gravitational pull, pulling me to the center.

Whether I am in the midst of giving a presentation,

Whether I am visiting with friends,

Whether I am speaking to city council,

Whether I am reading the Bible, or even another book, and am inspired to write,

Whether I am alone in my room pondering,

Whatever I am doing,

You are always there.

Images

Images are powerful, they tell a story.  They capture the emotions and facial expressions of the moment.  There is an intimacy that forms between the photographer and his subject.  It is as if the photographer is unwrapping a gift each time he takes a picture, revealing the different characteristics and colourful personality of that individual.  They radiate from the images and an untold story is told.
