Word Art Wednesday #35

Happy Wednesday!!!  Today is a great day!!  First of all it's the 4th of July, Independence Day, the day we celebrate our nation's freedom.  One nation under God!!  Secondly, it's the first Wednesday of the month so it's double sponsor day!!  We have 2 sponsors for this week's challenge,  Isabella's Sketchbook and Our Daily Bread Designs.  Stop by their sites and check them out.

Today's word art comes from the book of Deuteronomy...


When you stop to think about it,  God doesn't really ask much of us.  All we have to do is love Him with ALL our heart, soul and might. And Jesus did say that this is the first and greatest commandment.  If we truly love God with everything we've got, He'll take care of the rest.  Pretty easy, huh???  NOT!!   Perhaps if we lived in a vacuum...but we live in the world, and things of the world can be pretty distracting at times... 

Last week I had the privilege of being a preschool leader at our church's Vacation Bible School.  Challenging yes, but seeing those little children so eager and excited to learn about God far outweighed the challenges.   Of course they get distracted too, but their distractions were temporary. We were always able to bring them back to the main focus, God, because their hearts were so open to receive and pour forth God's love.  Let the little children remind us that we are to love God with our "all".

    Incredible layout Gemiel. I like your insight and honesty about this Scripture. We are only humans after all. Thankfully we serve a merciful God and He forgives us when we don't get it right. Thanks for sharing in Tuesday's Testimonial. I'll have to check out Word Art Wednesday.

    Your art is always such a blessing to me, Gemiel. I look at this photo and it just reminds me how quickly our children grow up, and how very important it is to raise them in the love and fear of the Lord. I am so very blessed to have you in my life to encourage me.
    Thanks for your loving heart.
