I had a moment this morning to sit and make a winter skinny using various rubber stamps from Paper Bag Studios and little hearts from justjohanna…I wanted to create something peaceful, glistening and sort of mystical…so I used various inks and embossing powders. Added some crystal glitter and a vintage image on some blue backgrounds…
I love the song “The Prayer” by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli and wanted to share the lyrics with you…the song is on my music prayer at the bottom of the blog.
I pray you’ll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.And help us to be wise in times when we don’t know.
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way.
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe.
La luce che tu dai
Nel cuore restera
A ricordarci che
L’eterna stella sei.
I pray we’ll find your light,
And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night,
Remind us where you are..
Nella mia preghiera
Quanta fede c’e.
Lead us to a place ?
Let this be our prayer
When shadows fill our day
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe.
Sogniamo un mondo senza piu violenza,
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza.
Ognuno dia una mano al suo vicino,
Simbolo di pace…di fraternita.
La forza che ci dai
E desiderio te
Ognuno trovi amor
Intorno e dentro se.
Let this be our prayer,
Just like every child.
We ask that life be kind
And watch us from above.
We hope each soul will find
Another soul to love.
Let this be our prayer,
Just like every child.
Needs to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
E la fede che hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salverai…
