Bee Attitudes.
3“You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule.
4“You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.
5“You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are—no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.
6“You’re blessed when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God. He’s food and drink in the best meal you’ll ever eat.
7“You’re blessed when you care. At the moment of being ‘care-full,’ you find yourselves cared for.
8“You’re blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.
9“You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family.

Well, T, please come by and get your free download at my blog – a bee photoshop “illustration…: ) – are you bee keepers too? My vintage tweener would love to do that too, I just haven’t gotten into it yet…I don’t know if I want to!

Very cool! 😉
beautiful connections between life of the bee and me…
Oh, I love that painting of the bee in the field of flowers
lovely words… lovely art! my favorite….”with less of you there is more of God”!
Thanks for this reminder: “You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope..” Less of me, more of Him. And I love the way The Message phrases this! Sweet little bees–looks like they’re so fun to paint! The wings look three-dimensional. Are they? And what did you use? –Sadee Sadee @ a Picturebook Life
no the wings aren’t 3d isn’t that technique cool.. I was just messing around with these paints and I just “knew” I wanted to paint wings on…something… and then my new bee obsession was the perfect opportunity.
Thanks so much for noticing… I want to get better at the bees.. but the wings were the whole reason I wanted to try.
T
Love the bees!! I was going to say the same thing Sadee did… the wings look 3d. That is so neat! Beautiful work T!
isn’t that cool.. still messing around with it.. hope I can get the look I really want soon.
T
These painting and the pictures of them are really beautiful! And the wings are so neat looking. They have a little sparkle!
yes they do have a touch of pearliness to them.. thank you for your sweet words.
T
mmmmmmm…. loving reading the posts I missed while on my ” no computer retreat” Oh how I love the Message, the words just cut me to the core.
Super-cute! Thanks for linking up!
