MY CUP RUNNETH OVER | LAVEDA D. ROCKFORD

To start this post, I want to say something about the suffering of many people because of URI. This storm has caused havoc for many. I have heard stories of electricity being out for days, and now their water supply is suffering from the freezing temperatures. Please say a prayer for those in need and do not forget to thank those who are assisting them in whatever way possible. Being a light, for the people giving their time and/or money to assist those so devastated, is commendable. May God bless you and yours!

While I have been snowed in, I have the chance to paint again. I never know what to name my paintings until it gets to a certain point. I wait for the LORD to give me direction. It came to me this morning and the name of this painting is ‘My Cup Runneth Over’. It is from one of my favorite verses in the Bible. Psalm 23. I hope you enjoy looking at the photos showing the progress of my new painting.

And do not forget…

Call out to Jesus when times are tough,

Call out to Jesus when you have enough,

Call out to Jesus every day,

Call out to Jesus in every way.

He will be with you,

Through thick and thin.

I call Him my Savior,

And I call Him my friend.


God be with you!

With love,

Laveda D. Rockford

Thanksgiving Thought | Laveda D. Rockford

  Thanksgiving Thought During Thanksgiving, most people gather to share stories of their year and greet each other with great esteem. While Thanksgiving is not celebrated around the world, I wanted to tell those of you who will be gathering with your families this Thanksgiving to please remember to say a prayer for those people who are having a very difficult time. Though we, as humans, sometimes think that our little part of the world is the most important, we have to realize that there are difficulties the world around. Many people do not have money to fill their tables with a bounty of food. Other people do not have the money to go and see their family. Thank goodness for the modern capabilities that computers give us. We can see our family on Thanksgiving Day if time allows.   Then there are those who have lost loved ones this year, or years before this and are having a difficult time adjusting to the news or accepting the challenge to continue to live. In honor of your loved

I Live For Freedom | Laveda D. Rockford

  I Live For Freedom As you know, I have been on vacation. It began on Monday morning in Missouri, and we arrived in Maryville, Tennessee that evening. The Lord graced us with beautiful sunshine every day that we were there. The first day we drove into the Great Smoky Mountains, around curves, up mountains, and into valleys all green and yellow that introduced the early autumn season. The beauty of it all gave me a piece of awe that you can only get when you know the love that was placed into such a sight as this. This is where my Cherokee ancestors lived. While there, I had the privilege of visiting the Museum of the Cherokee Indian in Cherokee, North Carolina. Between June 1838 through March 1839, approximately 16,000 Cherokee were removed from their tribal lands and relocated to Oklahoma. It is said that approximately 4,000 Cherokee died. My Great-Great Grandmother was six years old when she walked this trail. Her Mother, my Great-Great-Great Grandmother, was one of those 4
