A Joyous Easter!

April 7, 2012 by Sybil Macbeth 3 Comments Leave a Comment

“Hallelujah, Christ is risen. The Lord is risen indeed!”

Children in the church I attend bring flowers on Easter Sunday and cover a box-shaped or palm-frond cross with colorful blossoms.The children participate in the transformation of the cross from a tool of hatred to a symbol of victory and love.

This drawing below reminds me of the children’s crosses. When I look at the picture I want to call it Love Crucified, Arose–the title of a resurrection song by Michael Card.

 My friend Connie gave me the stencils (by Pebbles) I used to draw the flowers. She incorporates stencils as part of the way she prays in color. For the art-challenged like I am, this can be a non-threatening way to get started.

Lenten Calendar–First 10 Days

March 4, 2012 by Sybil Macbeth 1 Comment Leave a Comment

Below is my calendar of God names. What I notice is the number of songs I associate with the words.

“When God Almighty came to be one of us,
Masking the glory of his golden train.
Dozens of plain things kindled by accident,
And they will never be the same again.
(Author, Michael Hewlett?)

Creator of the stars of night,
Your people’s everlasting light,
O Christ, Redeemer of us all,
We pray you hear us when we call.
(6th, 7th or 9th century chant, Latin, Hymnal 1940 version)

The gentle Healer came
Into our town today
He touched blind eyes
And the darkness left to stay
But more than the blindness,
He took their sins away
The gentle Healer came
Into our town today.
(The Gentle Healer by Michael Card on 2 disc collection called The Life)
