I've just been having fun with pictures, frames, edges and stuff, so today's thread is all about pretty, and nothing but, but you can still post your warm fuzzies here. :)

Making A Masterpiece
READ:
2 Corinthians 5:12-21If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
One of my earliest memories of my dad is that he loved doing paint-by-number pictures. The canvas was large, but the numbered segments where a predetermined color would go were very small. Dad would sit in his chair in our basement for hours, working meticulously with his painting in front of him and a cup of coffee at his side.
As a boy, I would sit on the basement stairs and watch with fascination. My interest did not stem from a misguided thought that doing paint-by-number work made my dad a great artist. Rather, I was amazed at how patiently he would work on each painting. Finally, the thousands of slivers of color became an image that Dad considered well worth the effort.
As I think of my dads patience in bringing a painting to life, my heart is directed to our heavenly Father. He looks on us and sees the voids and imperfections in our lives, yet lovingly and patiently does His work in us to make us His masterpiecea masterpiece that conform[s] to the image of His Son (Rom. 8:29).
What a joy it is to have such a God, who makes us new (2 Cor. 5:17) and never tires of investing His energy and effort into our lives!
God sees in us a masterpiece
That one day will be done;
His Spirit works through all our life
To make us like His Son. Sper
Only God can transform a sin-stained soul into a masterpiece of grace.

WOW, what a thread!
Simply beautiful.. and how comical & ironic that the header in the next post by The Mayor says Making a Masterpiece!
Wonderful pix work Billie...love the edges & frames & softness. The alternation of B/W and color is very effective
Wish this were a couple day thread (for MANY reasons?)..... maybe JH2 on weekend? just an idea. I dont now have time to work something up new.. will see what I have in archives.
Rus, thank you for the daily word/cuppa.. we are masterpieces.. new creations for sure!

Thank you, Dolly. You never fail to put a big smile on our face when you mention the little details of each new opening post we do.
It is funny - so often, Rus' Daily Bread in some way seems to have been written especially with the thread of the day in mind!
Sigh! Guess what I forgot though - the topper. I was having so much fun 'creating' that I forgot to include our regular topper.

I still love these photographs - Winter is my very favorite, followed by Summer, then Spring, then Fall. :)

Yes, the twins surely are 'pretty' people! Barbara is the prettier of the two - she is absolutely stunning! (but their mom's no slouch either) :)
