All I have Seen Teaches Me To Trust The Creator ....




The more I wonder, the more I love...Inspite of pains, sorrows and troubles we experience along this path called life...life is still beautiful. Inspite of the heartache we experience in this feeling called love...love is still the best and the most beautiful thing in the whole world.


I have seen sorrows and i have seen joys, i have experienced love's exultation and love pains...all i have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen and it is the heart which experiences God and not the reason...Loving God above all..this is Ophelia Jane Julia wishing everyone who pass by my sweet musings the best in life and love. Praise and glory is due to God in everything...

Even When It's Painful

The following humorous story appears in the autobiography of Clarence E. Macartney.
As two men were walking through a field one day, they spotted an enraged bull. Instantly, they darted toward the nearest fence. The storming bull followed in hot pursuit, and it was soon apparent they wouldn't make it. Terrified, the one shouted to the other, "Put up a prayer, John. We're in for it!" John answered, "I can't. I have never made a public prayer in my life!" "But you must!" implored his companion. "The bull is catching up to us!" "All right," panted John, "I'll say the only prayer I know, the one my father used to repeat at the dining table: O Lord, for what we are about to receive, make us truly thankful!"
This fictitious story suggests a valuable truth. We should thank God always not only through good times but also through bad times.

Here's to us....when all is said and done....


Painter's Honeymoon by Lord Fredrick Leighton



Here's to us one more toast and then we'll pay the bill
Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill
Birds of passage, you and me
We fly instinctively
When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun
Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done

In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks
Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex
We're still striving for the sky
No taste for humble pie
Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun
Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done

Its so strange when you're down and lying on the floor
How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more
Clear-headed and open-eyed
With nothing left untried
Standing calmly at the crossroads,no desire to run
There's no hurry any more when all is said and done
