“Enduring,” graphite pencil drawing by Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com
Goodness, love, mercy,
charity, faith, hope,
these are all the things,
that enable me to cope.
When life is challenging,
when I want to give up,
I think on these things,
and The Lord fills my cup. Continue reading
“Best Friends,” graphite pencil drawing by Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com
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.

My little friend “Bilbo”
This poem was inspired by my little four-legged friend, our Yorkie named “Bilbo”. He is living proof that friends come in all sizes, shapes, and they are not always human!
“Bilbo”…a little tuckered out after a few too many rounds of playing fetch!
My little friend is cute
and oh so funny.
He is warm, cuddly,
and as sweet as honey.
He barks, a lot, he loves attention,
he loves to walk, to play,
and to bark, did I mention? Continue reading

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? Continue reading

“Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.” Psalm 33:3-4
I have a song in my heart today,
oh my, it’s a happy one!
I can’t get it out of my head;
it’s playing over and over.
I have a song in my heart today,
oh how it makes me smile! Continue reading

My relationship with my own art has been “on again, off again” for the past several years. I’ve had periods of time when I’ve leaped into that creative world full force, exhibiting my work, taking on commissions, drawing just for my own pleasure. There have also been times when I’ve quietly stepped aside and closed the door behind me, not wanting even to look at my drawing board, let alone pick it up and start sketching.
Gratefully, I have been blessed with other talents and abilities that satisfy my creative hunger in unique ways. Continue reading

An artist sees the world as a blank canvas; he interprets it in his own way. It becomes a new creation, a gift waiting to be opened and enjoyed by all who gaze upon it.
Beautiful, lovely, gorgeous,
Sensual, attractive, appealing,
Dark, deep, solemn,
Wild, lively, vibrant,
A shape, a mood, a feeling,
An object, cold and abstract,
Something heartwarming and desirable, Continue reading

““The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.” Psalm 23:1-3
Resting in Him,
there is no other way.
Resting in Him,
to be at peace today. Continue reading
