We-Three-Kings

Greetings everyone! ♥

These I made for my blog headers, depicting the three kings who followed the Star to Bethlehem, in search of to look upon Baby Jesus, the Reason we celebrate the day, the season, of 'Christ'mas. Perhaps, next year I'll make a full desktop size. Merry Christmas! ♥

Cardinal-Christmas

Greetings everyone! ♥

I love cardinals and they are especially pretty against the winter's snow and brighten the dreariness of winter. They are a symbol of warmth and faith, as well as the blood Jesus shed for us on the Cross. The word, 'cardinal', means of greatest importance and Christmas surely is! Merry Christmas! ♥

"When we give the Gift of Love, we give the very best,

And the joy we bring to others, the same with, we are blessed."

~ Quotes by Artsieladie

Gift-Of-Love

Greetings everyone! ♥

When we give the Gift of Love, we are giving from our heart without any expectations of receiving in return. We don't have to give from our wallet to be giving, either. When we 'show' we care; when we 'show' compassion, understanding, empathy; when we have and 'show' respect for others; when we do something, even seemingly small like helping another carry something or things or hold the door for another or say something to cheer up another; when we listen to another to actually listen; when we give up just some of our time for another or others are all ways to give the Gift of Love. There are so many ways to give the Gift of Love that do not cost a single cent and giving should be throughout the entire year, not just around Christmas. When we give selflessly, our self worth, self esteem, and self respect are all boosted. Therefore, when we give to others, we gift ourselves as well and no amount of money can buy this for us. "Giving is the joy of living." ~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

"Gift Of Love" (with poem)

Regardless of our faith, in Love we can believe,
For Love's within us all, if we choose to retrieve.
Should we choose to leave Love in a dormant state,
Then we invite into our heart the bitterness of hate.

Those who believe in the power of Love,
Radiate and spread around all the beauty of.
Those who deny Love to flourish within their heart,
Spread misery around, since it's all they can impart.

We have all been blessed with the greatest Gift,
Though some choose to away from Love, drift.
The presence of Love or not is always crystal clear
In how we treat others; how others we revere.

Love is not selfish, cruel, apathetic, unforgiving;
Does not embrace greed or a miserable way of living.
Instead, Love is selfless, compassionate, and kind,
With consideration for others a natural state of mind.

Love is not ego serving, boastful and bragging;
Doesn't tune out a guilty conscience nagging.
Instead, Love is humble, modest, and reserved;
Accountable and accepting of what's deserved.

Love is not jealous, envious, resentful, or bitter;
Nor shallow, spineless, a flip-flopping fence sitter.
Instead, Love cultivates virtue, values, and integrity,
Making real in oneself a comfortable place to be.

When, our Gift Of Love, we cultivate with care,
We then reap to scatter Love seeds everywhere,
Always hoping they'll take root in another's garden bed,
Where there's being tilled the opposite of Love, instead.

When in our hearts we grow Love, we never have to feel
Afraid that another will come along and from us, steal
What we are growing and therefore, in possession of,
Because all they can take from us is some of our Love.

Once in the thief's possession, Love can only grow,
Infiltrate and change the current seeds they sow.
So, when we give the Gift Of Love and without request,
We can know in our heart we have given the very best.

In this day and age of money taking precedence,
Love is still free to receive and to dispense.
Love cannot be bought nor can Love be sold,
Making the Gift Of Love untouchable by gold.

We need not save our Love for special times and places,
Just for special occasions and to gladden special faces,
For the magic of Love is released every time we give
And multiplies within us when the Gift Of Love we LIVE!

Merry Christmas!

Master-Artist

Greetings everyone! ♥

I am always so amazed when I look around and see all the wonderful, Masterly Created creations by God. To me, nowhere is this realization more profound than when I am surrounded by nature. Springtime is the grandest show of life, both with the new birth of and the renewal of life. But autumn just dazzles the eyes with such a splendid array of colour that just can't be unseen. When I think of all the damage and destruction humans have done to our earth and continue to do, I am sickened beyond description. ♥

As I look around, the beauty I do see,
What an awesome picture, painted for you and me!
God, thee Master Artist, Master of Design,
Created ALL this wonder with His Touch Divine.
Only a Master's Golden Brush in every Stroke with Love,
A rainbow for His Palette, across the sky above,
Could possess such Magic, a Power so profound,
To paint in 'living' colour, giving life all around.

"When we count our blessings, so many we will find, Filling us with gratefulness, a positive frame of mind."
~ Quotes by Artsieladie

Wounded-Healers

Greetings everyone! ♥

Wounded Healers have learned these lines well (from my poem, "Gifted By God"):

"Oftentimes, when with our life, we're dissatisfied,
We give in and accept that our misery's justified.
But just one adjustment, a change to/in our objective,
Can make all the difference when we alter our perspective.

When we understand why there are struggles in our life,
All with silver linings in spite of stress and strife,
We afford ourselves the ability to negate the negative,
Transform it into positive to be wiser how we live.

Not only wiser but more humble with our ego more subdued
To be more considerate of others, instead of callous, rude.
We're all a work in progress with each our own path to carve;
Who we are, become, depends upon what traits we feed or starve." ♥

Inspired by my dear friend, Naomi, Delilah, and all the Wounded Healers, who inspire us to have the courage, strength, and perseverance we need to get through our own struggles and challenges, by conquering and rising above their own painful experiences, whether they be physical, emotional/mental, or both, as is often the case, this poem needed to be brought out into the Light. Writing it, I thought of all those who have faced and who are facing great battles in their life, but instead of allowing them to define them, they 'choose' to define themselves through faith, hope, and courage, while maintaining Love and the traits of Love in their heart, instead of wallowing in self pity, with bitterness and resentment in their heart.

To post this poem, I wanted to also display with it an example of a true "Wounded Healer", and this lady, Delilah, surely fits this role. She uses her well known show to bless others, to encourage others, to spread the Message of Love. I listen to her show almost every night through the radio station I listen to, B95.5, WYJB-FM, which, if you look in the lower right hand column of this blog, you'll see I have there embedded a live stream to my radio station Delilah's show is aired on from 7:00 - Midnight, Eastern time. But it will only show on the "http" version of my blog currently, because I haven't figured out how to make it show over the "https" one. I'm not one who is savvy with technical stuff. You can listen to Delilah, however, at: https://www.iheart.com/live/delilah-4846/ and Delilah's website is: https://www.delilah.com/ ♥

Hence, I'm sharing this video, with Delilah talking with Robin Roberts, another lovely specimen of a beautiful soul, who has also faced and through her personal struggles and challenges, has inspired so many. These are people we need to inspire us through our own struggles and challenges. These are our best examples of human heroes, along with our service men and women, our firefighters, our police officers, and our emergency responders. ♥

We tend to get all gaga over movie actors/actresses, entertainers, sports players, politicians (regardless of what office they hold), wealthy people, etc., but they aren't our heroes. Our heroes are those who make a positive difference; who influence our lives in a positive way; who inspire us to want to keep the faith, to hang in there, to hold onto hope, and to remind us we have value, not in our wallets, but within us, within our hearts, and we each matter and have importance. ♥

Anyone who knows me well, knows I'm not one who gets all excited over a celebrity, entertainer, politician, etc.. I'm not one who publicly honours the same, either. So, when I do, you can bet I'm doing so because I believe in the person I'm honouring and because I want the person to KNOW they are valued and appreciated, which I do for/with the same thoughts and reasoning, when I compliment anyone. There's little point in saying words that aren't meant and felt within your heart. I'm a firm believer in "Credit earned is credit due", as well. I only advocate for those and what I believe in and I don't receive compensation for doing so, nor do I have any desire to. My blogs are simply for sharing with others the Gifts God blessed me with, creativity through writing and art, in the hopes others will in turn feel blessed in some positive way as well. ♥

"If we compliment more, criticize less,
Hearts respond, minus bitterness."
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

"With words of kindness, generous be;
While words to criticize use sparingly. 
Give compliments without hesitation;
Criticize with caution and reservation."
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

From my poem, "Thank You, Leticia":

"When we know we're appreciated, we feel positive and uplifted;
We feel blessed with worthiness and with value we feel gifted."
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

Since I'm not one who gets excited or goes gaga over celebrities and such, I likewise feel no need whatsoever to go to a show to watch a performance, singing or otherwise. I can think of much better ways to use the money such would cost. I've never had much money, but I'm not a materialistic person, either. Even if I had more money, I highly doubt I would be wasteful with it, simply because 'things' aren't what matters most. Lives do and lives in need especially do. For e.g., clothes at a thrift store or a yard sale, as long as they are still in good, wearable condition, are just as good as those in the store, where they cost a lot more, and wearing them is more than fine with me. Practical is wisest, I think, but there's nothing more practical, more fitting than helping someone in need. ♥

I recall a number of years ago now, when I was about to leave a Stewart's Shop. I had bought gas for my car, milk, and a few other needed items and I had just $20 left to my name. But that $20 I held onto in case we'd need something else in the near future before I was able to earn more. As I was leaving, a woman approached my car and wrapped on my window. She clearly was desperate for help and was crying. 

She told me her situation and I remember thinking, "Suppose this is a con. I only have $20." But then I thought, "Suppose she really is in need and if I don't help her, then what?" The latter thought outweighed the fore and so, I gave her my last $20. I even felt bad that I didn't have more to give her. She was so grateful and she said it was enough as we both said to each other, "God bless you." ♥

There's a point, a moral, to this true story and it is, giving to another from the heart, without expecting anything in return, is NEVER a bad thing, only good. If the receiver is unappreciative, is pulling a con, or chooses to give a negative response for whatever reason, how they receive, react, or reply, has NO bearing on the giving or the giver. The giving cannot be made into something bad. I gave her my last $20, but what I received in return is priceless, in spite of expecting nothing. The feeling inside I felt knowing I had done something, though very small, for another that made their life a little better, a little easier, all the money and possessions in the world cannot facilitate. My advice: Don't worry about giving. Just give and give from the heart. The giving reflects well on you. How your giving is taken, whether appreciated or not, reflects on the receiver. So, don't ever let fear of how your giving will be received, stop you from giving. ♥

Back to Delilah, if you're looking for, yearning for, more than the everyday bickering, bitterness, and overall disrespect so well portrayed in our world today, especially on the Internet, and you want to listen and connect to/with something/someone positive, inspiring, exhibiting and promoting Love, caring, respect, etc., I suggest to give a listen to Delilah. In this bleak and troubled world, she is surely a powerfully bright ray of sunshine, who shines the Light of Love this world so DESPERATELY needs. ..And her latest book, which I'm going to purchase, which I view as practical, since inspiration is priceless, is "One Heart At A Time". The link to: https://www.oneheartatatime.com/ ♥

Like Delilah, I so believe in the awesome and tremendous power of Love. Love is the only true Magic and I believe that God's Message to the world, to all His Children, is to "Love one another". I believe in God. My religion is Love. ♥

"If only in your heart is sowed and grown Love,
There can be no hate and bitterness to ever then speak of."
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

"If we'd each give a little, it would add up to a lot
And not a single soul would then ever be forgot."
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

"Peace and harmony help to create
By spreading Love instead of hate."
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

"Instead of allowing our differences to bring about division,
We should embrace our differences to magnify our vision."
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

"Wounded Healers" https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/video/radio-icon-delilah-talks-faith-raising-13-children-58564584
The strongest of those among us are
The Wounded Healers who have fought,
Against all the odds they've faced,
Disallowing any being all for naught.

Through trials and tribulations,
Through much suffering and much pain,
Their will and spirit succumbs not,
Denying satan, their soul, to gain.

Many wounded walk among us
Caused by pain of many types,
But keep their pain invisible
With few complaints or gripes.

The wounded souls, who among us
Have learned well to cultivate
The right perspective to inspire us,
We should honour and celebrate.

The tragedies they've endured,
The injustices they've survived
With pain and grief immeasurable,
Yet, have risen above and thrived.

Warriors of substance, valiant,
With values deeply in engraved
Cannot be defeated nor to pity
Be servants to, enslaved.

Though with ample reasons to seek
The path of hatred's bitter traits,
They hold more fiercely onto Love
And what Love in us cultivates.

Wounded Healers do not wallow
In a quagmire, pitying their pains,
But invert negatives into positives
By changing losses into gains.

With immense courage unrelenting
Fueling their strong determination,
Their unwavering perseverance,
Makes them our best inspiration.

Their choice to rise above
And preserve their dignity
Gives proof of their resilience
In no greater human capacity.

There are many Wounded Healers
Who've suffered and have grieved,
Not deserving human vileness,
Though innocent, they've received.

Regardless of what pain
Or by what means derived,
Wounded Healers show us best with
How they've conquered and survived.

Wounded Healers are among us;
Angels, with wings and without,
Exemplary souls showing us what 
Faith, hope, and Love are about.

They are our shining stars
Who show for us the way
How faith and courage works
To reap, in spite of what we pay.

Wounded Healers use their own pain
To help others then to heal,
Since they understand perfectly
And relate to the pain others feel.

When we, ourselves, are suffering,
We can look to them and gain
The strength we need to carry on,
Knowing we can rise above our pain.

Wounded Healers are our heroes
Who fight adversity with grace.
They are our grandest champions
Who inspire the entire human race!

Delilah, the uplifting, inspirational lady I listen to on her radio show. Though we've never met or even spoken to each other, I have and feel a tremendous amount of respect for her. Spreading the Message of Love, as she does, there is NO better, NO greater, NO more needed message than of Love. ♥

Spring

Greetings everyone! ♥

We think of Spring and all the wonders of,
God's Masterpiece of Life with His profound Love.
What else could be greater than what Spring displays
That could humble us more, give God all the praise?
God so Loves us all He gave His only Begotten Son
For our lives to be Eternal, each and every one!

We think we know so much about Love and sacrifice; 
About the meaning of forgiveness and of life, the price,
But in reality we know nothing and realise even less
The magnitude of God's Greatness, only He does possess.

"Spring"

Spring has come; Spring is here,
‘Tis the season, the time of year,
When all across the northern Earth
There’s life renewed, as well new birth.
No season can compare nor can one bring
The splendor of life, like the time of Spring.

Though winter tries to hang around
To keep so cold the frozen ground
For its crystal art and flakes of white,
To be preserved, its wondrous sight,
Spring has sprung in sheer defiance,
Since with life, Spring has alliance.

Mother Nature has rested long,
Quiet’s been the robin’s song
During winter’s hush of crystal down
Draped over life’s dormant brown.
But with nature’s stirring, waking yawning,
Winter fades into Spring’s new dawning.

The Earth is changing, slowly warming,
Like a metamorphosis transforming,
As earth’s frozen cocoon melts away,
For Spring to colour the winter's grey;
Like a canvas just brown and white
In transformation to colours bright.

A brand new world is upon the scene,
Winter’s whitewash now budding green,
As Spring unfolds, the curtain draws
On a frozen wonder as winter thaws
Under the sun's rays. shining stronger
Through daylight hours lingering longer.

Melted, crystal clouds spill their overflow
Onto the waiting, waking Earth just below,
Creating an atmosphere of enchanted mist
That when the sun's warmer rays've kissed,
Spectrums of colours over the Earth, high,
Arc as rainbows in splendor across the sky.

Spring's cleansing rains prepare expecting Earth,
Making it fresh and clean for all coming new birth.
With the dormant stage of winter lost to the past,
A new stage of life's arrived for many months to last.
Everywhere, life is springing up around,
Evolving is a new wonder, one so profound.

The meadows turn a plush and velvet green,
With rainbow dipped flowers added to the scene,
Drawing in the busy bees, offering nectar, sweet,
To make their honey from, for their young to eat.
The forest is a bustling with creatures on its floor
To welcome family newborns, in preparation for.

High among the trees, many birds by the pair
Are building nests anew as their songs fill the air.
All the sleeping trees have awakened too;
Are busy growing foliage, all fresh and new
And the little seedlings all want to try,
Like their parent trees, to reach and touch the sky.

Winter is a wonderland in its own right
With nature in its slumber all dressed in white,
But the wonderland of Spring is one profound,
As nature is awakened with new life all around.
Spring exhibits the greatest show on Earth,
The true essence of life, the miracle of birth.

Thee Master of Creation with His Master Hand,
With His Touch Divine, all across the land;
Thee Master Artist with His Magic Strokes,
With His rainbow palette, new life He invokes
Through His Breath of Life and by His Divine Love
Paints earth in 'living' colour, there is no equal of.

But Spring in all its splendor with miracles abounding,
God's Masterpiece of Life, immeasurably astounding,
Can't compare to God's Love, the Sacrifice He made,
Offered for us His only Son to suffer and be slayed
For our souls to be cleansed of sin by the Blood of His Son,
That we would have Eternal Life, each and every one.

"Of all our gifts, Love is the best, To give from our heart without request."
~ Quotes by Artsieladie

Blessed-Christmas

Greetings everyone! ♥

I Love the Nativity Scene....

*laughing* I needed to change the battery in my wireless mouse and in the process I must have hit "publish". So now I'm resuming...

This work had its roots with taking some pictures of a little Nativity Scene I have and I bring out and display every Christmas. It plays Christmas Carols as well. Although very inexpensive, to me the miracle of all miracles it represents is what's priceless.

So, I took some photos (which I entered in an Elftown contest) and then in 2014 I decided to create a digital work of a Nativity Scene. I worked a couple months on it in 2014 but I still needed much more time. In 2015 I had no computer because its harddrive was destroyed on October 4th, 2015. In 2016 I resumed my working on this with another couple of months, but I was able to finish it by Christmas. ..And here you see the finished work. ♥

"There is no greater gift than the Gift of Love; Onto us a Saviour was born, the Son of God above."
~ Quotes by Artsieladie

Candle-Of-Love

Greetings everyone, from Artsieladie! ♥

We humans are with our hearts, the chosen Candle Holders.
Whether our Candle's Flame burns brightly or if it smolders,
Is within our own control since God gave us all free will
To choose the Light of Love or its opposite to fulfill.
~ Artsieladie ♥

When we burn the Candle Of Love,
The Flame of Love then grows,
As within our hearts, the Light of
With brilliance brightly glows.

The Flame of Love thrives on
The aromas born of Love in whole
And once our heart's Candle is lit,
Likewise shines our mind and soul.

If we fan our Flame with
Love’s aromas, sweet,
No amount of darkness
Can ever our Light defeat.

Kindness and Compassion,
Honesty and Forgiveness,
Humility in abundance,
Exhibit aroma richness.

A Candle Of Love will not melt,
Instead shall grow in size,
As the Flame of Love burns
Brighter and so, intensifies.

Normally with other candles,
That burn out unable to rekindle,
The Candle Of Love is lasting
Not ever meant to dwindle.

As long as there is Magic, Love,
Kept mixed in our Candle’s Wax,
The Flame will burn always,
Bright and steady without lax.

The more we burn our Candle,
The more we fan our Flame,
The more brilliant is our Light,
To shine for Love, proclaim.

The more we burn our Candle
The more intense is our Flame,
To more Candles of Love incite
To ignite and burn the same.

So keep your wick aflame,
With your Candle waxed in Love
And keep your Flame fanned
With the sweet aromas of.

There is inside everyone
Of Love, a Candlestick,
But the Candle Of Love won't burn,
If we fail to light the wick!
