Rush Hour $95.00- by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

Rush Hour. Someone rightly said many years ago,time marches on and waits for no man. Running water reminds me of time. When I watch water running,especially on a rocky creek bed or stream , it has such a soothing effect. The sound is nice, but I'm always curious as to where it is in such a hurry to get to. Maybe the water isn't really going too far, before it reaches a smaller stream, and then a quiet pool, where it can take a deep breath and slow down for awhile. Maybe it's flowing sort of slowly from where I am standing at the moment, only trying to fool me into believing it will stay like that before it builds up great strength to go crashing down with a loud roar into a huge water fall farther down stream, where it will shockingly find itself in an even faster running river that eventually leads to an even greater body of water,the ocean! Whatever the case may be, it seems the water is always in a hurry, just like people.Take the time to meander today, not tomorrow. Watch the sunset on the river, or the bustle of the funny little stream. Smell those wildflowers, or listen to a  mother bird chattering high in a tree at some unwelcome squirrel. Stop and watch children at play. Go outside and sit in the evenings, taking in your neighbor's dinner cooking down the street. Painted on a gallery wrapped 12" x 12" x1" canvas (all sides painted a dark hue)  $95.00

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.Psalm 118:24

Light of Grace by Sandra Reeves Cutrer 16"x20" $325.00

I am finally coming back to my blog after weeks of being away. We took a nice vacation with our older granddaughter, only to come home and have to deal with some major surgery for me. Thankfully,my husband took off of work to care for me. I don't know what I would have done without him. I don't think I would have made it! It was an extremely painful recuperating period, at times I did not think I would heal, or even survive. The pain seemed to be so extreme at times that I would cry out in tears, and an almost out-of-body experience, to God for some relief. I had moments of thinking that I would not live through this, as the pain was so horrific. Hopefully soon I will be back in my studio to create some new work.
When we are at our weakest it puts perspective on who is in charge in this life- surely not ourselves.
Light of Grace- $325.00. No shipping charge from this site- if mailed in the USA.Includes insurance & signature confirmation when received.
Hebrew word and meaning:
enosh: weak or sick — This word indicates our true state even though we don’t like to admit it. We are frail human beings apart from the strength of the Lord. It doesn’t matter how strong we think we are or how self-reliant we are, or how much we feel we are in control of our life, God will allow something to happen to us to remind us of our frailty. God wants us to recognize our own weakness.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10, "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."

Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
