i wanted to share one of the gifts i have given to my sweetie
a couple of years ago i was taking an oil painting class
oh i loved it
i love the smell of the oils & the turpentine
i loved the feel of the brush against the canvas
i'm no artist
not by a long shot
i painted a few portraits of my girls
but usually i "practiced" by using an image
from N.A. Noel
or Jennifer Lanne
i saw this very simple painting of a single tree
done by jennifer
& immediately thought of one of my favorite scriptures
psalm 1
it describes the blessings
that will come to a man
who is wise
& who surrounds himself with Godly men
this is my Dan
he is highly respected in his position
as a highschool asst principal
he is a godly man
who is slow to react
& slower to anger
in fact
in all the years we've been married
he's never been angry with me
he shows our girls
a forgiving gentle spirit
but yet a strong capable protective daddy
i painted this tree
& thought of the shelter he provides
for all his girls
& the stability he creates
through his loyalty to
me
i love you sweet man
& happy early valentines day
YOU
are
my
soulmate
&
I
can't imagine
my life
without
YOU
