What is the longing deep within you just
beginning to blossom forth into the world?
Will you say yes? And YES?

Thank you Christine. Living in the Southern Hemisphere & now heading into Winter, I see around me the deep reds of Autumn leaves, once again reminding me of the cool, refreshing days ahead. It is always somewhat of a relief after our long hot summers. Now I can rug up during the day & sleep well in my cozy bed at night. God is good!
Beautiful pictures, Christine. I had not thought of my longing in this way, but your illustrations give it a beauty I had not realized it has.
Thank you.
