This Monday’s post comes from my beautiful Bella. She is not only a gifted writer, but a talented artist as well. I am honored to share her work with you here. Thank you for continuing to read and comment.
Bella's Cross...on yellow, lined paper
We lay our sorrows at His feet
He cares for us
In our strife and our defeat
He matures us
So we lift our white flag
And surrender it all to Him
For the sake of becoming
We lay it all down
At the foot of the cross

It is amazing work… 😉
Thanks! 🙂
No wonder the rest of us are short on talent—the Rileys got it all. Tell Bella this is great!
Ha! You are crazy talented! You don’t fool me! 😉
Tell us more about Bella. Is she your granddaughter or your daughter. I am sorry John I have forgotten. At any rate, she is truly inspired by God with her beauty in drawing and in her poetry. What a talent and I know you are so very proud of her. She comes from good roots.

Thank you for your reply. She is truly an amazing girl which I have heard you
