Description For all those aching during these times of grief.
For all those loved, for all those lost.
For all those troubled, cares untossed...

A new year, a fresh beginning, and a loving safe haven.


Hymn #676

All thy griefs by Him are ordered,
Needful is each one for thee;
All thy tears by Him are counted,
One too much there cannot be;
And if while they fall so quickly
Thou canst own His way is right,
Then each bitter tear of anguish
Precious is in Jesus' sight.

Far too well thy Savior loves thee
To allow thy life to be
One long, calm unbroken summer
One unruffled, stormless sea;
He could have thee fondly nestling
Closer to His loving breast,
He would have that day seem brighter
When alone is perfect rest.

What a brilliant shot! The boat reminds me of jesus being a fisherman and the storms behind with that small calmer cove well it just captures the meaning behind christianity and finding calm in the storm through christ. Thanks for sharing this... for me personally it came at a perfect time to inspire hope.

The color is beautiful, surreal. I dislike the noise that I see in the sky but as someone who is also learning and growing in this area of digital art, I know that sometimes that cannot be helped. All in all a lovely manip.
