Happy Thanksgiving


I painted this fall scene. If we open our eyes, we can see reasons to be thankful everywhere we look. 

Hey there all my amigos! I hope and pray you are all doing ok and keeping in strong in these hard times. Happy Thanksgiving to you each. 

I know  at times life can just be so tough and maybe you are dealing with things that make you think you don't really have anything to be thankful for. But that is only the perspective of those who merely see the seen. For those who can be big and who can see beyond the shallow facade of a fading world, and can believe so as to "see" the invisible, the eternal, then there is always much to be grateful for. Because Jesus gave His life to rescue us. Because we have an eternal Father who loves us. Because heaven is more real than the chaos around us. So let us seek and focus on the eternal, the unseen. Because those who have eternal life, forever have a reason to be grateful and thankful. 

Notice the "tiny" things my friend, your beautiful eyes, the breeze on your face, sunshine, raindrops, your creative mind and big heart that can carry you wherever you want to go. Look at the perfection of your fingerprint that is different for you then all others in the world. The same God who created that perfect fingerprint, is the same Father who is near, Who sees you and hears you. You are not alone, just talk to Him. Let these" tiny" things be "steps" to carry you up a "ladder of gratitude" and lift your heart to a new perspective. 



Since things have been locked down due to the virus, we have created and published an inspirational magazine which we are donating and shipping out to many places, especially prisons. So many men and women in correctional facilities are really suffering and have lost the chance to even get visits from their loved ones. 

We created a magazine to specifically give them hope, encouragement, new perspective and mental stimulation in these tough times. The magazine is also for for vets, people in hospitals and all who are suffering and need some uplifting words. 

If you would like to receive a copy, or know someone who would, please send me an email or address and I will send you a copy (whatwouldyoufightfor@yahoo.com).


Be strong, take courage and don't lose heart, 

Abrazo fuerte, love ya - Ruth 


"...While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal."
2Cor.4:18
