A Day In The Life

A day in the life

“Gizmo,” (graphite pencil drawing by Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com)

 

A day in the life…our lives are filled with so many things; never lose sight of your passion for living.

“All my life, I always wanted to be somebody.  Now I see that I should have been more specific.” Jane Wagner

It is easy to get so caught up in life’s “daily grind” that we lose sight of the overall picture.  Our focus becomes blurred between what we do and who we are.  Each of us are unique and were born with a purpose.  It is not always easy to determine what that purpose is, but finding it can fill our days with so much meaning and provide an entirely new vision for who we can become.

Sometimes I sit and close my eyes and imagine what it might have been like to have lived in a different era.  I think of how tedious it must have been living in ages where the modern conveniences that we enjoy today were inconceivable.  Yet, those simpler times provided the basis for imaginations to gradually develop and produce those very things.  It makes me believe more an more that old saying “…if you can dream it, you can become it”.

Living our daily lives in the present, in the reality of each day is what we must do; we are responsible for our own well-being.  Peering beyond that, being sensitive to who we really are and why we are alive, well that is essential too.  In fact, I dare say that is what truly sustains us.  Do you agree?

“Live life to the fullest, leave nothing undone…after all, isn’t that how the best races are won?  Your passions, they strive when you give them a go.  Do not wait, start today…let vitality flow!”  Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

Peace and love,

Felecia

Never Alone

Never Alone

“First Steps,” graphite pencil drawing by Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

Never Alone

There may be times when I am so afraid;

when I’ve become paralyzed with fear…

But, I am never alone.

There may be  times when I have blown it;

when I’ve truly let myself down…

But, I am never alone.

There may be times when I feel lost;

when I cannot seem to find my way…

But I am never alone.

There may be times when it seems to me,

that God is no longer there,

But, this I know for certain…

it is during all of those times He is right by my side.

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you.  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

Life can present so many challenges that frighten us.  Fear of the unknown, can cause so much anxiety that it can threaten to invade our very core.  We need only to take a moment to look around us and realize that we never need to despair.  God is greater than any obstacle that can force its way into our path, and He promises to be with us every step of our life’s journey.  It’s up to us whether or not we choose to step out on our own, or invite Him to travel with us.

Peace and love,

Felecia

Oh the Joy!

Oh the Joy

“Oh the Joy,” graphite & colored pencils drawing by Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

Oh the Joy!

Oh the joy, and the love that this season brings,

each day I’m reminded of many favorite things.

The chill in the air is so sparkling and clear,

the laughter, the singing, the voices full of cheer.

The oven filled with cookies and other sweet treats,

shoppers dashing around as their cars fill the streets.

The children bundled up and ready for much fun,

making snowmen that threaten to melt in the sun. Continue reading

I Once Was Lost

I Once Was Lost

“Carla,” graphite pencil drawing by Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove,com

I Once Was Lost…but now am found…

“Amazing grace produces amazing faith!” Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

Isn’t it funny how seeing an image or hearing a phrase can bring to mind a certain tune, or a specific time and place that comes alive from your memory to the present?  That happened to me recently when I came across the words, “I once was lost.”  Can you guess what song immediately popped into my head when I read those words?  You’ve probably guessed right; that old, familiar hymn,  “Amazing Grace.” 

Once that song entered into my mind, it stayed with me for a long time. 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

For the Eye of the Beholder

for the eye of the beholder

“Sparkle,” graphite pencil drawing, Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

Art is what you make it…

An artist sees the world as a blank canvas; he interprets it in his own way.  It becomes a new creation, a gift waiting to be opened and enjoyed by all who gaze upon it.

For the Eye of the Beholder

Beautiful, lovely, gorgeous,

Sensual, attractive, appealing,

Dark, deep, solemn,

Wild, lively, vibrant,

A shape, a mood, a feeling,

An object, cold and abstract,

Something heartwarming and desirable, Continue reading

Random Thoughts

random thoughts

“Sam,” graphite pencil drawing, Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

Random Thoughts

My mind is scattered;

little broken pieces,

Thoughts racing ahead of me,

and they just don’t fit!

This way, that way,

where do I go next?

Stop for a moment?

There’s no time for that!

Always more to be done.

Will it ever end?

Now the day is over,

And another one has begun!
