A CHERISHED CHILDHOOD MEMORY



I am very blessed to have a wonderful Mother. She woke me up in the morning by patting the side of my face, softly telling me that it was time to get up. It's one of my most cherished childhood memories. Feeling her love through a softness that is hard to describe. I won't be able to spend the day with her this year, but she plans to visit later this month.

I hope all have a happy and wonderful Mother's day! Happy Mother's Day!

Convergence of Stars a Precursor? | Laveda D. Rockford

  Photo of the finished ornament the I made for my daughter and her husband. Christmas, 2024 Laveda D. Rockford Convergence of Stars a Precursor? | Laveda D. Rockford During this season we know that the sounds of joy filling the air could fall flat upon the ears of those suffering unimaginable sadness. What can we do to ease the pain of so many? Do we let them wallow in self-pity? Or do we share what we know to ease the pain? Each Christmas is no different than the last since I have been alive. We celebrate the love of God. While God watched with saddened, darkened sky, His own son die, we know that His birth was celebrated with a distant star shining bright in the sky. Guiding those who, for decades, watched. A convergence of stars in the heavenly realm to announce His birth and our deliverance. Did I say Deliverance? Yes, deliverance! Though Roman domination was not toppled for years to come, the devil lost his grip on the human soul. We gained communion with God Hims...

  Introduction: 2025 R 1 There will be three paintings in the 2025 Rockford series. R 1 is the first complete painting in this sequence. Though I say that this canvas is finished, an artist, which I am, will always look at their work and find something that could be brushed up with the edge of a paint brush. This is my concept and the two that will be joining it is already in my mind. I will keep you posted. While you are waiting, here is a photo of 2025 R 1. God bless, Laveda D.

  Getting Ready For The Holidays | Laveda D. Rockford With the weather getting cold and below freezing, that special feeling of sunshine brightens my eyes. What am I talking about, you ask? The bright Christmas lights twinkling in the evening sky to cheer the sighs of so many. This is not the time when we only think of family and friends, but Jesus Christ who came for the price of our sins. Gift giving is celebrated for the gifts that Christ was given on that day when wise men came to worship Him. What is interesting about that, you ask? The three gifts that He, the Christ child, received. Gold is meant for royalty. Frankincense and Myrrh was used to anoint the body for burial. The ultimate sacrifice. While the Bible does not say how these men were given the knowledge of the Savior being born, one can only assume that they heard about it and was versed in the prophecies that Daniel taught them in Babylon.
