Good day and blessings to you all. My art puzzle.

This may be difficult for some of you and to you its the trying that counts!

For those of you who find its easy, now you can appreciate how things you find easy are terribly difficult for some of your brothers and sisters! Hmm perhaps not, but I shall give some thought to it.

The puzzle is to locate the art in the top two pictures in the bottom one! This is your assignment if you wish to accept it. 

How about this one here of the left, can you see a couple of monks, one with two small children. A nun and a large skull? Remember I am only the artist whom is just one part of the creator and you are another. If you see other people or beings before me then well done. Give yourself a pat on the back. I could get a bit of it, but the nun stumped me. That will teach me not to play cricket in a convent! Got no idea now where she is. I must have seen her at one point or I wouldn't have mentioned her. I cant remember if she was young, old black or white. You know it doesnt matter as its only artistic exercise to test ones imagination.

Thanking God

German pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a leader in the confessing church, which opposed the anti-  Semitic policies of Adolf Hitler during the second world war. He was hanged just weeks before the liberation of Berlin by the Allies. This extract reminds us of the need to express our gratitude to God for the small things of life that we receive from him.

  Only he who gives thanks for the little things receives big things. We prevent God from giving us the great spiritual gifts he has in store for us, because we do not give thanks for daily gifts. We think we dare not be satisfied with the small measure of spiritual knowledge, experience, and love that has been given to us, and that we must be constantly looking forward eagerly for the highest good. Then we deplore the fact that we lack the deep certainty, the strong faith, and the rich experience that God has given to others, and we consider this lament to be pious. We pray for the big thins and forget to give thanks for the ordinary,small (and not so small) gifts. How can God entrust great things to one who will not thankfully receive from him the little things?

Have a good weekend my brothers and sisters and know that you are loved. If things for you are very easy, then see if you help out elsewhere. If things are difficult then I pray that our Lord God will send you either assistance or more strength and fortitude to overcome them. Blessings love and peace to all living things.
