Memories Of Eternity

'Christmas Morning'  (Photograph Bellingham, WA)

© Maleko 2011

A journey's new start

Moments slip past

A quickening of the heart

Loves rains down

A distant star

Falls to the ground

Sparks illuminate the night

And eternity beckons

Shines loves pure light

Staring into the Light

"Staring into the Light"      Watercolors    5.5x7 inches 

Maleko ©2011

A watercolor painting of a cat staring intently towards a bright light that appears to be just off the page, indifferent to what ever may be occurring behind him.  The red stocking hat points to the holiday season and the light represents the reason we celebrate Christmas.  From the first Christmas day when a star heralded a miraculous birth and the coming of a Savior that split time in two.  

May we also point our lives, moment by moment towards the source of that light.  

May we live only for His glory.

Merry Christmas!!! ~M

He knows ...

"Santa's Watching"       Watercolors       Border & text added with Paint Shop Pro

Maleko ©2011

A whimsical watercolor painting of Santa Claus peering through a frosted window.  He is always watching and knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake.

Reminds me of Jesus who is always watching us.  He sees and He knows, but we do not have to earn gifts from Him.  Jesus freely gives to those who chose to believe in Him.  His promises are sure, His love and mercy endures and He gives us the greatest gift, eternal life.

Out of Control

"Out of Control"       Watercolors    5.5x7 inches

Maleko ©2011

A snowman sledding down a hill 'out of control' captures the often felt winter time and 

holiday emotions.  Let this be a reminder to slow down during the holiday season, reflect 

on the reasons we celebrate and not live our lives out of control.

May you and your family feel God's blessing this Christmas season.

Resting...

   "Tree of Light"    

Maleko ©2011

I am His desire

I am His beloved

I am His child

Even in the darkest night

I am His joy

I am His passion

I am His child

Even as the storm rages

So..... why....

Do I feel anxious?

Do I feel alone?

Do I feel abandoned?

Be still and rest for

the Lord is good to you

Like new fallen snow 
covered by grace and love

Christmas Magic & Mystery!

"Nativity"   Watercolor Pencils   5"x7"

There is a magic & mystery in this season, but we so often fail to see or experience it.  We so often get caught up in the commercialization, consumerism and competition.  We run on and on ever faster trying to out give, out spend and simply out do everyone around us.  These distractions so easily rob the Christmas season of the mystery and throw a veil over the magic.

We forget the simple joy of twinkling    lights on a tree, sitting in silence listening for God's voice.  The magic and mystery contained in a baby born in a manger over 2000 years ago.  The shepherds were awestruck in fear when angels appeared and announced the Messiah's birth.  Wise men from other lands endured hardship and traveled great distances to see a new born king. Have we in our modern day lost that wonderment and passion of this event that split time in two? 

For there up in the sky was a star to follow but few dared to risk and embark on the adventure. Would we today leave the safety of the story we have created for ourselves to follow a star?  God always gives us a star to follow both literally and figuratively if we would only take our eyes off our circumstances and look up.  My prayer  this season is that each of us finds a moment and basks in the eternal glow of the magic and mystery! 

Merry Christmas!   ~Maleko
