Color Intentionally ~

the soul
becomes dyed
 with the color
of
its thoughts
Marcus Aurelius
~ ~ ~
Finally, brothers and sisters,
whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable
—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—
think about such things
Philippians 4:8

so colorful, each its own, so different yet all equally beautiful. A wonderful scripture. My Friday has startd off well by visiting your blog.

Maureen said...

For some reason the line "Color Me Beautiful" popped into my head as soon as I saw the images.

Is the object a toy of some kind?

Maureen, it's a little thing my niece's daughter made to attach to her cell phone holder.

It's time for me to say hello to you and tell you thank you for the quiet beauty and truths you share. This was exactly the verse God brought to me yesterday as I was struggling and striving to take "every thought captive" to Him. This morning, I 'happen' to visit you and He reminds me again through you. Thank you.

I love that verse. But I often forget it until too late! After words are spoken. My mouth! My mouth! Aaack!

Photos are lovely!

Linda said...

What a brilliant way to express that very convicting verse.
You are such a delight Susan.

at first i thought i had the wrong blog site - those brightly colored children's beads didn't look like a photograph of yours - but alas put it together with words and scripture and yes it's yours - perfectly illustrated truth.

Michelle DeRusha said...

Susan, I'm coming by to say that YOU are a huge blessing: artist, writer, photographer, nature lover, believer -- YOU put color in so many lives!

Emily Young said...

It's like every colorful bead is a beautiful thought.. the green is true, the orange noble, the yellow pure... all strung together by the Spirit.

You always use the most interesting perspectives in your photographs. Did you get that camera you've been dreaming of?

Oh, my! That's a powerful truth - and the photo so beautifully illustrates it . . . one thought builds on another.
