Time

 

Today's quote is special. There are many individuals who live in the past. It seems there is nothing else that matters to them. It is good to remember the past at times. The people, places and things that made us who we are. It is also important to remember those things that happened that were things we should not repeat. Then there are some people who only look to the future. We often call them dreamers. They are important as long as that is not all they do. The dream world is not a real world but often a fantasy world of non-realities. Everyone lives in the present world where reality is the gift of the present. It is in the present that the past is remembered and the future is created. The present is the gift of being alive and enjoying what God has made. It is not to be wasted by living in the past. The past is gone, never to return. The future is  a dream world with nothing in the present. The present is a gift to all of the senses and feelings of life. The simplicities and complexities of life are in the present whether good or bad. Creation is in the present not the future. We were created for the here and now. Jesus is the only one that is in the past, present and future. It is the present that He wants us to live in so the future will be with Him. The only part of the past that we need to remember and carry forward is His sacrifice for our sins. The time we are living is the here and now with Christ.

Here is another image by Moontear. There are 50 of these images that I purchased in a digital book. Not all of them are images I will color. Some of them have tattoos. Children and tattoos are not something I believe in. Sorry! 


The Copic colors are: 


At first glance it doesn't look like that many colors does it? Details, details details. "Always Love The Details." It makes the image come alive. In order to do justice to any image, yep, even cartoon images, pay attention to the details as much as possible. My wife says I am a perfectionist. The details are important in artwork.

Thanks for visiting and remember to "Always Love The Details." God bless and keep you safe and healthy.

    You are so right, once again Jim, that it is the present that truly matters, and the only thing we should really dwell on from the past is Christ's sacrifice that gave us abundant life for the here and now!!
    Children with tattoos are not for me either. Don't apologise for stating your values!
    Blessings

    Your image is beautiful, your colouring is always exquisite. I hate tattoos, and can never undersstand why people cover themselves with so much ugliness. Living in the present is very important. Have a good week, take care, hugs, Valerie

    You know I'm somewhat of a dreamer, but being so helps with my creativity. As always, your coloring is absolutely stunning and yep, the details are so important.

    Love and hugs xoxo

    Yes, life is too short to live in the past. We all need to treasure each day in the present.
    Your image is so pretty and coloring is gorgeous! Like you said - so many details. Beautiful job!

    This is a great post Jim. It's easy to live in the past if one lets them self but then they miss the gift of the present. Fun to day dream as long as you don't stay in the daydream of the future. Present is indeed a gift and the best place to be. Take each day as it is offered, thank the Lord for it and for God giving his only begotten son. Yes, I love this post!

    Beautiful image, love the hair on this sweetie. I love red hair, especially this color of red hair. It is all in the details and that makes all the difference in the look of something. Well done Jim! I agree, don't like tattoos on children! Hugs and blessings, Brenda
