a Sunday Blessing

How?

 How can a young person stay on the path of purity?

By living according to your word.

I seek you with all my heart;

do not let me stray from your commands.

I have hidden your word in my heart

that I might not sin against you.

Praise be to you Lord;

teach me your decrees.

With my lips I recount all the laws

that come from your mouth.

I rejoice in following your statutes

as one rejoices in great riches.

I meditate on your precepts

and consider your ways.

I delight in your decrees;

I will not neglect your word.

Psalm 119:9-16

On this Sunday 

my blessing is my son, Jonathan,

who is in his ordination year.

 He was given this Psalm to meditate on for the year,

and I thought a visual of the verses 

would help instill in him a sense of his part.

So I stamped the brown highlighted words in the verses

onto the background of the painting.

Then I liked the idea of different tools 

to represent how each of us worships God in our own unique way.

Finally I pasted verses from an old Bible 

that was falling apart on to the edges.

Thanks for being such a blessing Jonathan!

Hope you all are having a blessed Sunday.
