Every conversation, every cuddle, aver kiss and caress, even every disagreement, adds another brushstroke to the picture of home you paint with the days and hours of your life.

Romance makes a radiant sunrise out of every moment.

Whether it's a pebble in a riverbed or a soaring mountain peak, I see everything in the world as the handiwork of the Lord. When I paint, I try to represent the beauty of God's creation in my art. Many modern painters see the world as a jumble of random lines and shapes with no divine beauty or order, and their works reflect their viewpoint. Because I see God's peacefulness, serenity, and contentment, I work to capture those feelings on the canvas. My vision of God defines my vision of the world.

To be romantic is quite simply to allow yourself to fall in love with life - all of life - and experience it fully, openly, passionately, and purposefully

The act of contributing to the lives of others is its own reward. A servant's heart is a greater motivator than financial gain.

Somewhere out there is a unique place for you to help others - a unique life role for you to fill that only you can fill.

The more you give yourself to others, the more joy and peace will flow into your own life.
