Bride and Groom

Psalm 119:15
"The voice of rejoicing and salvation
is in the tabernacles of the
righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly."

Ephesians 5:1-3
Be ye therefore followers of God,
as dear children;
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us,
and hath given himself for us an offering
and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling
savour.
But fornication and all uncleanness,
or covetousness, let it not
be once named among you, as becometh saints."

"Thy neck is as a tower of ivory;
thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon,
by the gate of Bathrabbim:
thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon
which looketh toward Damascus."

The Parade

Inspired by the Dior Exhibition at the NGV....
one of my favourites was a gown with lace over black....
but the simple combination of a cream jacket and full black skirt ,
the very first exhibit was lovely.
...now to find a scripture...

"How beautiful are thy feet with shoes,
O prince's daughter!
The joints of thy thighs are like jewels,
the work of the hands of a cunning workman."
Solomon's Song 7:1

LaMp UnTo My FeEt

Inspired by the Viktor and Rolf exhibition of their beautiful gowns encompassing
bows, some with abundant colour and all with exquisite texture plus their original and daring jaunts (holes in tulle).....

I had in my mind the scripture about the Word being a my lamp to my feet...
then just before I went to bed last night I stumbled on that exact scripture!
