On conversation…

On conversation, have words will travel…

The longer I live the more my hunger for meaningful conversation grows. To me it’s like climbing steps; each one takes me to a new height. There is always something new to learn, something new to share with others.  Sometimes having a good long chat can make me feel as though I’ve travelled to another part of the world.

August 19, 2013

 

“A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere.  Before him, I may think aloud.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Can you imagine a world without friends?  Those special  people who are there for you when you need them the most; who are there to share your special moments; who can make you laugh when you might otherwise have cried.  To all of you whom I cherish as friends, thank you for being mine!

Peace,

Felecia

There is a time for everything

There is a Time for Everything

“Freedom”, graphite pencil drawing, Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

There is a time for everything.  I live in the northeast and our summer season is in full bloom.  The flowers in my garden have reached their peak; the grass is spotted with tan colored strands after so many days under the blazing sun.  I’ve even glimpsed some red hues staining the leaves of a few maple trees that dot the canvas of woods along my route to and from work.  These changes throughout this happy, care-free season have made me look forward to all of the things that autumn has in store for us to enjoy.

God Came Down to Me

God Came Down to Me

“Pale Pink Cosmos”, Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

This poem was written by my niece and Goddaughter, Alexia, as a Christmas present to my husband and me several years ago.  I was very touched by it, because I know that it revealed so much of her heart.  Thank you Alexia, for being the precious niece that you are to me.

God Came Down to Me

A poem by Alexia D. Ghering

Each time I walked with eyes cast down

and felt too weak to reach God in prayer,

it was then, he came down to me,

As he watched my footsteps falter.

Within my heart, he poured out his grace,

and gave me strength to walk on farther; Continue reading →

A Quote to Carry You – August 12, 2013

“He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge.” (Psalm 91:4)

There are many times when I feel weighed down by the things I call the “vulnerabilities of life.”  Those times when I am not strong, when I feel the need to be protected and sheltered from things that threaten to steal my inner joy and peace.  Although I do not relish them, it is during those times that I do garner the very  strength and confidence that I seek.  I wonder if it is the same for you;  are you strongest in your weakness?

Peace,

Felecia

Speak to me

Speak to me...

“Hydrangea”, Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove

Speak to me…love is a language not spoken with words.

“Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread everywhere. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choice fruits.”  (Song of Solomon 4:16 NIV)

Speak to me…

Hush, come closer, press against me,

let me hear you.

No, not with words spoken from your lips,

let me know you.

Breath in deeply, exhale slowly,

your thoughts are there, I can feel them. Continue reading →

A Quote to Carry You – August 5, 2013

“For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart.  It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.” (Judy Garland)

Love is a tangible thing that is expressed in so many ways.  We can experience it through all of the human senses as it reaches down into our souls.  May your love reach someone today and make their senses become alive and their heart filled to the brim.

Peace,

Felecia

Life and living…

life and living

“Celebrate Life!,” graphite pencil drawing, Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

Life and living…

I have done a lot of thinking about life and living it these days. I am the product of a multi-racial heritage. I often think of each member of my extended family as a patch of fabric all sewn together into one big, colorful blanket, That imagery has always brought comfort and warmth to my heart. With all of the racial tension surrounding us in the media recently, I can’t  help, however, to think about how my own ethnicity has impacted my life.  It seems strange to be writing about such a thing because there are so many facets to it.  I could go on  and on about the subtle events that have taken place in my past that bruised rather than lifted me up.  The things that caused me to be disappointed rather than hopeful.  There are also just as many times that I can remember being able to hold my head high, and to be proud of my accomplishments, despite any negativity that may have threatened to get in the way.

“I am living my life to the beat of my own drum and making my own beautiful music along the way.” Felecia R. Weber Continue reading →
