Art Smorgasbord - Reflection on Love

Love is in the air!  Everywhere you go, there are signs of love around this time of year.  You see it in decorations at homes, schools, and business offices, as well as in the exchange of Valentine's Day cards and gifts.  However, wouldn't it be marvelous if we could spread it throughout the year?  With this in mind, I'm dedicating this post to love.

After much thought and deliberation, I don't think I can say it any better than Jesus did in Mark 12:29-31, when asked about the most important commandment, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.  The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'  There is no commandment greater than these."

Thank you for ALL your loving comments during my post last week.  May your days be filled with love through the year.  Blessings!

  3. Amen. Your Love Post is amazing and it's true we all could give more love to others around, but we always forget it cause we are too busy with unimportant details.
    Wish you a day full of love,

  10. Hi Arnoldo! I looked everywhere for a vintage perfume bottle image to use on my project for that verse, but never found one. Must be nice to just be able to draw your own. God has blessed you with such amazing talents, and I love that you use those gifts to glorify HiM!
    Have a blessed week, and thanks for sharing with us.
