Recently I was sorting through my old artwork
and found this picture I did long, long ago.
It reminded me of "Charity" and giving throughout the year,
at the holidays, and at the close of the old year.
I feel blessed to live in a comfortable home with my family nearby.
Sometimes I forget to take notice of my blessings and to share.
So this picture was a good reminder to me to do what I can for others.
Yes, I do have something I will be doing soon and I hope this little
drawing is a reminder to you too.
We are often blessed and just need to notice what we notice.
It can be just a little thing.
As a young girl I remember my mom was on occasion given
a basket with fresh baked bread and jam or cookies from a friend.
What a special blessing it was to my mom, my sister, and I.
So for today and going forward I would encourage each of us to remember
those little blessings and pass them on.

That's a sweet little picture. I like the expression on the boy's face and the way the little dog is holding up his paw.
charity of any kind makes me feel sooooo incredibly good !!

A good reminder to share our blessings with others. . .and a darling picture! Now I know where "T" got his art talents from!
I like your sweet drawing and your reminder to share our blessings.
Marilyn, your artistic talents are a gift to us all!
What a precious little picture, Marilyn. The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to reflect on little ways we can make other's lives better.
I love this illustration, you should do more as you really have the gift.
Yes, helping others creates something special for oneself too - what a better place the world would be if everyone could do a little something extra for another more needy person.
Love, Mary
Your sketch/painting is very charming, Marilyn! It has such a sweetness to it, yet a big vibrancy, and tells a story--as art should. ;o) Thank you for always sharing the blessings. ((HUGS))
Marilyn, if I could draw like that I would toss my camera away and draw, draw, draw! This is exquisite! I simply adore this image and hope you will share more.
