I was in a very magical mood when I painted this picture. I love mushrooms--not the kind people put in food- but the cute shrooms that grow in the grass, or on an old tree stump. They could be so many things--umbrellas for little critters, homes for even smaller critters, or why not a lamp for children at play after dark?

This little girl is on a walk in the darkness (could be night, could be symbolic) and her little light is shining, lighting the way. Shining for others to see.

Psalm 18:28 "You, LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light."

Matthew 5:16 "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven"

Psalm 119:130 "Your word is a lamp for my feet a light on my path Lamp Unto my feet.

Reflecting the joy of the Lord

When I was growing up, there was a willow tree in our front yard. It was my favorite tree. My favorite place in our yard. The canopy of branches was like a nature-made tent. Inside them I could climb the trunk and sit on one of the strong limbs. I remember sitting there, looking through the protective canopy—looking at the branches draping down in a circle around me. It was a pretty awesome tree.  

It was a place of beauty and 

contentment, 

a place to feel safe and 

protected 

and a place to feel loved. 

Let us enter the safety and protection of God.  

Let us bask in the beauty of His gift of creation.  

Let us radiate the joy of the Lord.

Let us be like the Willow Tree Girl!

Numbers 6:24-26 TPT

“The Lord bless you and keep you; 

the Lord make his face shine on you 

and be gracious to you; 

the Lord turn his face toward you 

and give you peace.”
