G*d Loves Me Heart

G*d Loves Me

Outlining a radiant heart

to fill with intense red and purple

is exciting to me.

Freely splashing water

and wildly brushing layers of color onto silk

is satisfying for me.

A frosting of salty tears

add surprise and a magical marbling finale.

With a bit of a broken heart

I dance on silk, knowing

G*d loves me.

G*d Loves You

 ~ a story

by Joy Krauthammer

Grieving

when my husband, z'l, had died

 after lengthy life-support,

and after I had served for years

as Caregiver Angel Warrior,

I felt very 'alone',

although surrounded by friends. 

My beloved Jerusalem rebbe Yosef Ben Shlomo Hakohen, z'l, said to me,

 "G*d loves you."

I painted these words

 and hung them on my wall where I work.

I felt loved and healed,

 no longer alone,

 accepting this wisdom,

and have shared the thought

"G*d loves you"

 with others during my Bikkur Cholim / visiting the sick experiences.
