Enduring

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

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

My Little Friend

My Little Friend

My little friend “Bilbo”

My Little Friend…some friends have more than two feet!

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!

My Little Friend

My Little Friend

“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

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?

it’s playing over and over.

oh how it makes me smile! Continue reading

“A smile is contagious. A kind word is infectious. A comforting hug speaks volumes. The deepest joy is found not in the receiving of things, but from the giving of ourselves.”  Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com
