In His Will

In His Will

“Magnolias and Irises (Detail),” c. 1908, Louis Comfort Tiffany. Image from the 2015 Desk Calendar, courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art Store

In His will…when there, I am at peace.  With my arms opened wide…I await His blessings to release.

“Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.  Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of the heart.”  Psalm 37:3-4

In His Will

In His will,

A place that I long to be.

It’s not a thing that I can touch;

nor with my eyes can I see.

In His will,

When there, I am at peace.

With my arms opened wide…

I await His blessings to release.

In His will,

Not just for a day or an hour.

No, it will take more than a lifetime,

to experience the depth of His power.

In His will,

It’s the only thing that is true.

Nothing on earth can compare,

to the glorious things He can do.

Felecia R. Weber 2015, OntheWingofaDove.com

Discerning God’s will for our lives requires us to trust Him enough that He knows what is the absolute best for us and to relinquish control of our desires to Him.  To trust Him is to know Him.

“You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  John 8:32

Do you know the freedom of trusting in Him?

Peace and love,

Felecia

Love – What’s in a word?

Love - What's in a word?

Love – What’s in a word?

“Love encompasses so much, it cannot be put inside a bottle.  No, love needs to be scattered all over the world, so that everyone can share a part of it.”  Felecia R. Weber 2015, OntheWingofaDove.com

Full, luscious, desirable, sweet,

Love is a feeling that cannot be beat!

Warm and fuzzy, a sensual kiss,

Love is something you won’t want to miss!

Affection, fondness, attraction, desire, tenderness, devotion, of the heart, romance, bond…

Love…what’s in this word for you?  If you can tell me, please do!

Love to me means fullness and life, for both are born out of love.  My heart feels as though it may burst when love fills and resides within it.  My being feels alive with renewed vitality when love surrounds me.  Love truly has the power to change any circumstance into the most beautiful thing in the world…

May the love that fills your heart create a beauty of its own…when you share it with another.

With love,

Felecia

You and Me, We Will Always Be

You and Me, We Will Always Be

You and me, we will always be…even those times when we’re apart…because we’re connected heart to heart.

“The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for man to be alone…'” Genesis 2:18

This Bible verse solidifies exactly how I feel about sharing my life with others…and that is good! When I spend time with someone I love and care about, it is as if that period of time transcends everything else in the world.  Being in a close relationship, be it platonic or romantic, has a way of connecting one person to another.  Whether they are physically together or apart; it is a bond that is inseparable no matter what.

You and Me, We Will Always Be

You and me, we will always be,

even those times when we’re apart.

The miles between us do not matter at all,

because we’re connected heart to heart.

You and me, we will always be,

you are my buddy, my pal, my friend.

I am here when you need me, and when you don’t;

I’ll be with you from the beginning to the end.

You and me, we will always be,

I can’t imagine ever being without you.

We’ve seen each other through thick and thin;

indeed, I am your comrade through and through.

Felecia R. Weber 2015, OntheWingofaDove.com

Peace and love,

Felecia

A Friend Indeed

A friend indeedA friend indeed, whether it’s at night or during the day…close by my side is where he wants to stay.

“He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.  You are his life, his love, his leader.  He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.  You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.”  (Author Unknown)

A Friend Indeed

(A poem dedicated to my little companion, my little friend Bilbo)

A friend indeedA friend indeed,

yes, that’s my four-pawed friend.

Whenever I’m happy, whenever I’m sad,

he’s the one on which I can always depend.

A friend indeedA friend indeed,

whether it’s night or during the day,

no matter what it is that I’m doing;

close by my side he wants to stay.

A friend indeedA friend indeed,

he can’t tell time nor what day it is of the week.

But he knows how to say “I love you,”

in ways that don’t require him to speak.

A friend indeedA friend indeed,

his sweet, brown eyes, they tell me so much.

Like how much I am needed, (and I need him too).

I hope he know how deeply my heart he has touched.

His Eye Is On The Sparrow

His Eye Is On The Sparrow

“An Old Song,” 1874, William John Hennessy. Image from a page of the 2014 Desk Calendar, courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art Store

“His Eye Is On The Sparrow” – That song brings back sweet memories for me…knowing that God cares so much, makes me feel light and happy and free!

“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?  Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.”  Matthew 10:29

“His Eye Is On The Sparrow”

“His eye is on the sparrow,”

that song brings back sweet memories for me.

Knowing that God cares so much,

makes me feel light and happy and free!

During times when I tend to worry,

and the times when I tend to fret.

Those words remind me of His love,

and life’s troubles I soon forget.

“His eye is on the sparrow,”

as God ceaselessly watches over the earth.

He has never taken His eyes off me,

not ever, since the moment of my birth.

“His eye is on the sparrow,”

His faithful love always sees me through.

That assuredness can be yours as well.

Turn it over to Him; He’ll care for you too.

Felecia R. Weber 2015, OntheWingofaDove.com

Freedom from worry is a wonderful thing.  Knowing for certain that nothing can take place in your life apart from the loving and protecting arms of our Heavenly Father…priceless.  That’s the kind of wealth that I seek…what about you?

Peace and love,

Felecia

Justice – What’s in a word?

Justice

Photograph courtesy of Martin Watson

Justice, like the laws of nature, spawns beauty and harmony within our world when it is nourished and balanced…

“Justice involves fairness and getting along well, without it, most surely our troubles would swell.  Keeping the peace, ensuring the rights of the free, without moral justness, where would our world be?” Felecia R. Weber 2015, OntheWingofaDove.com

Impartiality, equality, righteousness, morality, non-judgmental, justness…

Justice…what’s in this word for you?  If you can tell me, please do!

The more I think about the word justice and all it entails, the more I realize how important it is to making our society flourish.  Everyone has their own unique set of ideas and sense of morality.  They also have the right to exercise them within the boundaries set by governing bodies according to civil laws.  Justice, like the laws of nature, spawns beauty and harmony within our world when it is nourished and balanced…and it is up to each of us to uphold and perpetuate it; so it can do just that.

Peace and love,

Felecia

So, You Say

so, you say

Photograph courtesy of my niece, Leia Gabrielle

So, you say don’t try too hard.  But if I don’t dream…I will merely sleep.

“Life is meant to be lived…so live it!”  Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

So, You Say

So, you say I shouldn’t do that.

It’s not what’s expected.

But, what if I do?

Will the world fall apart?

So, you say it’s too risky.

What will others think?

But, what will others think?

Does that really matter so much?

So, you say slow down,

tomorrow’s another day.

But, what about today?

Why not fill it up fully first?

So, you say don’t try too hard;

that way you won’t be disappointed.

But, if I don’t dream…

I will merely sleep.

Felecia R. Weber 2015, OntheWingofaDove.com

Many times we have to follow our own instincts, that God-given voice that provides wisdom and guidance when we are not certain what to do.  Those whom we trust can provide valuable insight and advise…but ultimately it is your life to live. Taking risks; exploring territory that you’ve never even imagined; taking the plunge into something you’ve always wanted to try…life is meant to be lived…so live it!”

Be inspired, explore, reach higher…soar!

Peace and love,

Felecia
