Happy Easter

 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not  perish, but have everlasting life. ~ John 3:16

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. ~ Romans 6:9

"The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God." ~ C. S. Lewis

 "A man can eat his dinner without understanding exactly how food nourishes him. A man can accept what Christ has done without knowing how it works: indeed, he certainly would not know how it works until he has accepted it." ~ C. S. Lewis

Ginger Rogers

"I believe in living each day as it comes, to the best of my ability. When it`s done, I put it away, remembering that there will be a tomorrow to take it`s place."~Ginger Rogers

Bread

"But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." - Matthew 4:4

Man cannot live by bread alone, he needs something stronger to feed his hungry soul, so he'll try everything under the sun, but nothing will end his hunger nothing but Your love. - Ginny Owens 

The Little Crocodile

"How doth the little crocodile 

Improve his shining tail,

And pour the waters of the Nile

On every golded scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin,

How neatly spread his claws,

And welcome little fishes in,

With gently smiling jaws!" ~Lewis Carroll

The Dog

‎"You see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad." Alice's Adventures In Wonderland - Lewis Carroll

This it a picture of a dog I drew.

The Rock on which our Society Rests

"It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible." - George Washington 

Today our government tries to take God and the Bible out of everything, and our society is losing its morals; it's growing farther and farther away from God. People used to know how important God and the Bible were to society! Here are several quotes from some of the great leaders of our nation, on the importance of keeping God in our government.

"We have been assured, Sir, in the Sacred Writings that, 'except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it' (Psalm 127:1). I firmly believe this, and I also believe that without His concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the building of Babel." - Benjamin Franklin

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions but on the gospel of Jesus Christ! For this very reason people of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here." - Patrick Henry

"The only assurance of our nation's safety is to lay our foundation in morality and religion." - Abraham Lincoln 

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other." - John Adams

"Religion and morality are the essential pillars of society." - George Washington 

"The Bible is the Rock on which our Republic Rests." - Andrew Jackson

To all of the problems man has ever known... It is my firm belief that the enduring values presented in it pages have a great meaning for each of us and for our nation. The Bible can touch our hearts, order our minds, and refresh our souls. - Ronald Reagan

People used to know how important Christianity was (and still is), and they would try to keep God and the Bible in everything they did. But today in our society people treat Christianity as if it is of no importance.  

Rose

"I read in a book once that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but 

I've never been able to believe it. I don't believe a rose would be as nice if 

it was called a thistle or a skunk-cabbage."~Anne of Green Gables

This is a picture of a rose I drew.

The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. - Isaiah 35:1

The Light

"Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life' " (John 8:12).

The Cross

,

"To those who have suffered in this life and have borne your pain in silence - there is yet hope."

I found this quote in the back of lamplighter's The Hidden hand book, the reason I decided to use it with this painting is because, even if in this world everything seems to be going wrong there is hope in the cross. Because Jesus Christ gave his life for us so we could be forgiven for our sins, and that is the greatest hope anybody can ever have.

For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

(Romans 6:23)

Abraham Lincoln

We trust, Sir, that God is on our side. "It is more important to know that we are on God's side." 

 - Abraham Lincoln

This is the picture that I drew of Abraham Lincoln.

My house

"It's lovely to be going home and know it's home..." - Anne of Green Gables

This is a picture of my house that I painted in 2008

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the [Lord] for ever.

(Psalm 23:6)
