From the Inside Out

From the Inside Out

We are fearfully and wonderfully made…from the inside out…

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well” Psalm 139:14

Have you ever considered what it is that makes you who you are from the inside out? Have you ever sat and meditated on all of the intricacies that have come together to make you the person that you’ve become thus far? Continue reading

What Lies Within You

What Lies Within You

“Penelope Unraveling Her Work at Night.” (Detail), 1881, Dora Wheeler. Image from a page of the 2011 Desk Calendar, courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art Store

What are the things that lie within you?  What are the things that make you who you are? Do you know for certain?

“Finally, brothers, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.” Philippians 4:8

What Lies Within You

Is it the beauty from the flowers that speckled the road that you traveled,

on that gorgeous afternoon last spring?

Is it the warmth of the sun that beamed down it’s blinding rays,

on that lazy day at the beach not long ago this summer?

Is it the golden, red, and purple hues that colored your view,

on that walk in the woods this very autumn? Continue reading

A Quote to Carry You – October 14, 2013

A Quote to Carry YouA Quote to Carry You 

October 14, 1013

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”  Ralph Waldo Emerson

Where I have been, where I am heading…the longer I live, the more I ponder such things.  Even more so, how what fills my mind fills my heart, and in turn, fills my life.  What lies within you? What shapes your thinking? What fills your heart?  It is my hope that they are the things that will provide you with everything that is good in life.

Peace,

Felecia

Taste and See

Taste and See

“Taste and see that The Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him!” Psalm 34:8

We cannot always know what lies ahead of us.  Sometimes it feels as though we can barely wade through the murky waters that seem to flood out anything good in our lives.  The dimness that has captured our focus surrounds us and threatens to pull us down.  When even a glimmer of hope comes along, we tend to grasp it so tightly, as if our lives depend upon it.  What is it? Where does the strength to rise up out of any grave situation with a vibrancy that can conquer the darkest night come from? Continue reading

Friendship

Friendship

“Best Friends,” graphite pencil drawing by Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

There are many types and levels of friendship, but the truest and deepest ones, they are what I love the most.

Let’s face it, developing a friendship can be hard work.  We all have our own idiosyncrasies and deep down, we all have the tendency to put ourselves first.  That’s just part of being human.  Another thing that we all have in common, is the need to be loved and cared for in some way or another.  I believe that it is the balancing of all of these factors  that makes for a  true, fulfilling and worthwhile friendship.

“A friend loveth at all times” Proverbs 17:17 Continue reading

A Quote to Carry You – September 30, 2013

a quote to carry youA Quote to Carry You

September 30, 2013

“The one unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog…  He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wound and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world…When all other friends desert, he remains.”  George G. Vest, speech in the US Senate, 1884

Although they cannot express it with words, every endearing look, every enthusiastic greeting, every lick  and every snuggle that they give, all say ” l am here, I am your friend.” By now you might have guessed that I am a dog lover.  To me, dogs are furry, four-legged bundles of love.  Faithful friends they are indeed.  No wonder they are called man’s best friend.

To all of those who feel the same…may your special friend make your day a little brighter.

Peace and love,

Felecia

Oh Happy Day!

Oh happy day

“Oh Happy Day!,” graphite pencil drawing by Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

I feel like laughing, singing, jumping for joy…oh happy day!

I dedicate this post to my husband Stephen…I love you forever!

“Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!  For His mercy endures forever.” Psalm 107:1

I am sure we’ve all experienced them, those days that you awaken with a song in your heart, a delightful feeling within you that makes you want to jump for joy or laugh aloud, just because.  I am having one of those days right now.  “Oh happy day!”  That’s what I want to shout out at the top of my lungs.  What is it that’s causing me to feel this way?
