Mozart and his music were on the for-front of everything we encountered that summer.\u00a0 It was the gift of a lifetime, for me.\u00a0 <\/em><\/h4>\nI was in Austria to celebrate the successful completion of my MFA degree at West Virginia University.\u00a0 I had made it, and I was overjoyed to be in Austria that summer.<\/em><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\nLast week I asked Alexa too “play some Austrian classical music.”\u00a0 The concert, “Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto,”\u00a0 began immediately and I really needed a nice break in a busy day here at home. This week had some Ups and some Downs.\u00a0 Moments when good news\u00a0 arrived and I am so happy.\u00a0 Then, there were\u00a0 moments, that are not what I wanted to get. Heartbreaking days, and mountain-high celebration days.\u00a0 All of it.<\/h4>\nFirst<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe rejection letter.\u00a0 The three fiber art pieces I entered in a regional exhibition were rejected by the juror.\u00a0 Bummer!\u00a0 But, to be frank, I’ve been at this “exhibition game” since 1976, when I entered my first art show.\u00a0 Getting rejections and acceptances is my normal life.\u00a0 I put my work out for a juror to see, and I hope to be in the shows.<\/p>\nWriting is very similar.\u00a0 I send my poems and non-fiction essays out occasionally, to editors of journals and anthologies.\u00a0 Just like waiting for the juror to select or reject my artwork, this is the same.\u00a0 My work goes before a juror, or editor, and selections are made.\u00a0 Some get published, and some do not.\u00a0 I have my ups and my downs, and that is my NORMAL way of life. We have to be willing to keep on going despite any set-backs we encounter.\u00a0 And, at the same time, we are willing to accept the good news, too.\u00a0 It is all a part of life.<\/p>\nIn the early-80s,\u00a0 I was studying painting at the Hoyt Institute of Fine Art.\u00a0 I spent about 3 years there, in the weekly painting classes taught by David Ludwick. I was painting every day, for hours, in between the weekly classes.\u00a0 I was on fire, with a desire to paint pictures. And, I was growing.<\/p>\nI learned from the painting instructor that if we got in 50 percent of the shows we entered, that would be fantastic.\u00a0 Most of the time, it will be blow that number.\u00a0 After putting work in for a juried show, it does not take long before the declines are not so disappointing, and the acceptances are even sweeter when they come.<\/p>\nLast week,\u00a0 I had received the\u00a0 rejection notice, I was listening to music as I was working at home.\u00a0 I have Alexa in the kitchen, and typically, I ask for some classical music.\u00a0 Most often, I ask for Mozart.<\/p>\nOne particular piece really made me stop and listen for a while.\u00a0 This was Mozart’s Clarinette Concerto.<\/p>\nI\u00a0 included this music\u00a0 today in my post because I have the hope\u00a0 that you also find peace today wherever you are.<\/p>\nEven if is a week where troubles come calling and something happens that brings sorrow and pain.<\/p>\nPause to listen to the music,\u00a0\u00a0Listen now.<\/a><\/h4>\n <\/p>\n\n\nToday, my focus is on the Ups and Downs that we experience\u00a0 in life.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSome days bring good news that makes me celebrate with a little happy dance. I\u00a0 pause to say “Thank You” to God for this blessing.<\/p>\nSecond.<\/strong><\/h3>\nHere is a positive notice that I\u00a0 received, also.<\/p>\nI learned this week that two of my pieces of pottery were selected to appear in the Somatosensory Exhibition, 2026.\u00a0 They were entered in this juried competition and 7 judges made the decisions\u00a0 of artworks to include in the show, as well as artworks that will not be in the show.<\/p>\nMy two pieces are sculptures that were created from slabs of clay in the pottery studio.<\/p>\n“Lemon Lily,” is a dynamic and beautiful bowl.\u00a0 It invites visitors to touch it to experience the slick glazed surface, and the organic waves of the bowls design, that flares in and out,\u00a0 The edges of this bowl have round and slick silky balls\u00a0 of clay that were applied to give the bowl more of that feeling for a visitor to reach out and touch those edges.<\/p>\nAlso, “Silver Iceflow,” is a wall piece that gives the viewer a feeling of standing on a frigid day in deep winter, and watch the ice flowing down stream, with rocks popping to the surface, here and there.\u00a0 It glimmers in the darkness, with three different colors of stones embedded into the silvery surface that give the sculpture\u00a0 a feeling of winter and storms that come in the deepest dark of the night.<\/p>\nOf course, I am delighted that my work will be on display and I hope to be able to be at the opening reception in November.<\/p>\nBut just after I got the good news, I also had some tragic news, too.<\/p>\nThird.<\/strong><\/h3>\nOther days bring sorrows and tears, and are heart breaking. I pause to say, “God,\u00a0 help me through this grief that is breaking my heart today.”<\/p>\nMy tears were flowing as I caressed my precious cat, Miss Bessy.\u00a0 She had reached the end of her life over the past 2 days.\u00a0 She was beginning to die, and I know the signs from years of caring for my beloved cats.\u00a0 An emergency visit to our veterinary confirmed my fears.\u00a0 It was very clear that she was dying\u00a0 as she stretched out on a warm towel on the table.\u00a0 Because Miss Bessie has been an indoor cat ever since we rescued her in the summer of 2012, I knew that we simply could not bury her outside.\u00a0 I decided to have her cremated and her name will be on the container that holds her\u00a0 ashes, here in the home where she spent her life with her sister Miss Opal, and the other cats we rescued over the years.<\/p>\nThere is a sad silence hanging over the entire house, it seems.\u00a0 One less bowl of bedtime treats, and a deep sorrow in my heart as I serve one less cat each evening at bedtime.<\/p>\nYes, we all have Ups and Downs, and sometimes, like it was this past week,\u00a0 they all touch our hearts in some way.<\/p>\n__<\/p>\n__Scripture<\/strong><\/h3>\n3 Bible Verses for Ups and Downs!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nI selected verses that will fortify us when we are celebrating victories or weeping tears in our defeats.<\/p>\nFirst of all, Our God will never leave us in any circumstances.\u00a0 We are never ALONE.\u00a0 Never.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\nColossians 3:15<\/a> ESV<\/span><\/h3>\nAnd let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nPsalm 40:1-17<\/a> ESV\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nTo the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. <\/span>I waited patiently for the Lord<\/span>; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord<\/span>. Blessed is the man who makes the Lord<\/span> his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie! You have multiplied, O Lord<\/span> my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told. .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nJohn 14:6<\/a> ESV\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\nJesus said to him, \u201cI am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n__Daily Action Plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n <\/p>\nAfter reading the scriptures and listening to the music, write about your own ups and down this past week.<\/p>\nHow can you\u00a0 move on this week, despite any set-backs?<\/p>\nHow can you celebrate your victories?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n__\u00a9<\/a>Lynda\u2019s Journal of Blessings, 2026.<\/em>_<\/p>\nPlease let me know how God\u00a0 has shown you his faithfulness this week.<\/p>\n__<\/p>\n” Lynda’s Prayer Garden”Photo by Bob Lambert<\/p><\/div>\nFYI<\/em><\/p>\nFinal Note:<\/h3>\nWhat inspired me to begin writing blog posts about BLESSINGS?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nYour comments and prayers inspire the best in me.<\/p>\nLet me know if this message is helpful to you.<\/p>\nThank you for sharing my Sunday Blessings posts with others to encourage them and share the Love of Jesus.<\/p>\n\u00a9<\/strong><\/a>Lynda\u2019s Journal of Blessings, 2026.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nFYI: My Background:<\/em><\/h3>\nProfessor Lynda McKinney Lambert taught fine art and humanities at a Christian college in Western Pennsylvania, She was a tenured professor, an actively exhibiting artist, and a published author.<\/em><\/p>\nMy\u00a0 courses\u00a0 were studies across the disciplines \u2013 Art \u2013<\/em>\nEnglish\u00a0 Literature \u2013 Humanities.<\/em><\/p>\nMy courses were taught on campus during the spring and fall semesters.\u00a0 In the summer, I taught in Salzburg, Austria for a month of travel and studies.<\/em><\/p>\nMy passions in academia are poetry and fine art.\u00a0 I author books and I create\u00a0 fine art in several mediums \u2013 Painting\u00a0 and\u00a0 Fiber Art.<\/em><\/p>\nHow I Found HOPEFULNESS in Unexpected Changes:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nI discovered a new life after sudden sight loss.

Mozart and his music were on the for-front of everything we encountered that summer.\u00a0 It was the gift of a lifetime, for me.\u00a0 <\/em><\/h4>\nI was in Austria to celebrate the successful completion of my MFA degree at West Virginia University.\u00a0 I had made it, and I was overjoyed to be in Austria that summer.<\/em><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\nLast week I asked Alexa too “play some Austrian classical music.”\u00a0 The concert, “Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto,”\u00a0 began immediately and I really needed a nice break in a busy day here at home. This week had some Ups and some Downs.\u00a0 Moments when good news\u00a0 arrived and I am so happy.\u00a0 Then, there were\u00a0 moments, that are not what I wanted to get. Heartbreaking days, and mountain-high celebration days.\u00a0 All of it.<\/h4>\nFirst<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe rejection letter.\u00a0 The three fiber art pieces I entered in a regional exhibition were rejected by the juror.\u00a0 Bummer!\u00a0 But, to be frank, I’ve been at this “exhibition game” since 1976, when I entered my first art show.\u00a0 Getting rejections and acceptances is my normal life.\u00a0 I put my work out for a juror to see, and I hope to be in the shows.<\/p>\nWriting is very similar.\u00a0 I send my poems and non-fiction essays out occasionally, to editors of journals and anthologies.\u00a0 Just like waiting for the juror to select or reject my artwork, this is the same.\u00a0 My work goes before a juror, or editor, and selections are made.\u00a0 Some get published, and some do not.\u00a0 I have my ups and my downs, and that is my NORMAL way of life. We have to be willing to keep on going despite any set-backs we encounter.\u00a0 And, at the same time, we are willing to accept the good news, too.\u00a0 It is all a part of life.<\/p>\nIn the early-80s,\u00a0 I was studying painting at the Hoyt Institute of Fine Art.\u00a0 I spent about 3 years there, in the weekly painting classes taught by David Ludwick. I was painting every day, for hours, in between the weekly classes.\u00a0 I was on fire, with a desire to paint pictures. And, I was growing.<\/p>\nI learned from the painting instructor that if we got in 50 percent of the shows we entered, that would be fantastic.\u00a0 Most of the time, it will be blow that number.\u00a0 After putting work in for a juried show, it does not take long before the declines are not so disappointing, and the acceptances are even sweeter when they come.<\/p>\nLast week,\u00a0 I had received the\u00a0 rejection notice, I was listening to music as I was working at home.\u00a0 I have Alexa in the kitchen, and typically, I ask for some classical music.\u00a0 Most often, I ask for Mozart.<\/p>\nOne particular piece really made me stop and listen for a while.\u00a0 This was Mozart’s Clarinette Concerto.<\/p>\nI\u00a0 included this music\u00a0 today in my post because I have the hope\u00a0 that you also find peace today wherever you are.<\/p>\nEven if is a week where troubles come calling and something happens that brings sorrow and pain.<\/p>\nPause to listen to the music,\u00a0\u00a0Listen now.<\/a><\/h4>\n <\/p>\n\n\nToday, my focus is on the Ups and Downs that we experience\u00a0 in life.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSome days bring good news that makes me celebrate with a little happy dance. I\u00a0 pause to say “Thank You” to God for this blessing.<\/p>\nSecond.<\/strong><\/h3>\nHere is a positive notice that I\u00a0 received, also.<\/p>\nI learned this week that two of my pieces of pottery were selected to appear in the Somatosensory Exhibition, 2026.\u00a0 They were entered in this juried competition and 7 judges made the decisions\u00a0 of artworks to include in the show, as well as artworks that will not be in the show.<\/p>\nMy two pieces are sculptures that were created from slabs of clay in the pottery studio.<\/p>\n“Lemon Lily,” is a dynamic and beautiful bowl.\u00a0 It invites visitors to touch it to experience the slick glazed surface, and the organic waves of the bowls design, that flares in and out,\u00a0 The edges of this bowl have round and slick silky balls\u00a0 of clay that were applied to give the bowl more of that feeling for a visitor to reach out and touch those edges.<\/p>\nAlso, “Silver Iceflow,” is a wall piece that gives the viewer a feeling of standing on a frigid day in deep winter, and watch the ice flowing down stream, with rocks popping to the surface, here and there.\u00a0 It glimmers in the darkness, with three different colors of stones embedded into the silvery surface that give the sculpture\u00a0 a feeling of winter and storms that come in the deepest dark of the night.<\/p>\nOf course, I am delighted that my work will be on display and I hope to be able to be at the opening reception in November.<\/p>\nBut just after I got the good news, I also had some tragic news, too.<\/p>\nThird.<\/strong><\/h3>\nOther days bring sorrows and tears, and are heart breaking. I pause to say, “God,\u00a0 help me through this grief that is breaking my heart today.”<\/p>\nMy tears were flowing as I caressed my precious cat, Miss Bessy.\u00a0 She had reached the end of her life over the past 2 days.\u00a0 She was beginning to die, and I know the signs from years of caring for my beloved cats.\u00a0 An emergency visit to our veterinary confirmed my fears.\u00a0 It was very clear that she was dying\u00a0 as she stretched out on a warm towel on the table.\u00a0 Because Miss Bessie has been an indoor cat ever since we rescued her in the summer of 2012, I knew that we simply could not bury her outside.\u00a0 I decided to have her cremated and her name will be on the container that holds her\u00a0 ashes, here in the home where she spent her life with her sister Miss Opal, and the other cats we rescued over the years.<\/p>\nThere is a sad silence hanging over the entire house, it seems.\u00a0 One less bowl of bedtime treats, and a deep sorrow in my heart as I serve one less cat each evening at bedtime.<\/p>\nYes, we all have Ups and Downs, and sometimes, like it was this past week,\u00a0 they all touch our hearts in some way.<\/p>\n__<\/p>\n__Scripture<\/strong><\/h3>\n3 Bible Verses for Ups and Downs!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nI selected verses that will fortify us when we are celebrating victories or weeping tears in our defeats.<\/p>\nFirst of all, Our God will never leave us in any circumstances.\u00a0 We are never ALONE.\u00a0 Never.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\nColossians 3:15<\/a> ESV<\/span><\/h3>\nAnd let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nPsalm 40:1-17<\/a> ESV\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nTo the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. <\/span>I waited patiently for the Lord<\/span>; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord<\/span>. Blessed is the man who makes the Lord<\/span> his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie! You have multiplied, O Lord<\/span> my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told. .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nJohn 14:6<\/a> ESV\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\nJesus said to him, \u201cI am the way, and the truth, and the life.

\u00a9<\/a>Walking by Inner Vision, since December 2009.<\/em><\/p>\n__My Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\u00a9<\/a><\/em>Lynda\u2019s Journal of Blessings, #784<\/strong><\/p>\n>> Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto <<<\/strong><\/h3>\n\nI\u00a0 have been in love with Mozart’s music for many years.\u00a0 I was saturated in Mozart’s music and life in the summer of 1991.\u00a0 This was my first trip to Austria, and the entire country was celebrating the 200th anniversary of Mozart’s death. Mozart and his music were on the for-front of everything we encountered that summer.\u00a0 It was the gift of a lifetime, for me.\u00a0 <\/em><\/h4>\nI was in Austria to celebrate the successful completion of my MFA degree at West Virginia University.\u00a0 I had made it, and I was overjoyed to be in Austria that summer.<\/em><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\nLast week I asked Alexa too “play some Austrian classical music.”\u00a0 The concert, “Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto,”\u00a0 began immediately and I really needed a nice break in a busy day here at home. This week had some Ups and some Downs.\u00a0 Moments when good news\u00a0 arrived and I am so happy.\u00a0 Then, there were\u00a0 moments, that are not what I wanted to get. Heartbreaking days, and mountain-high celebration days.\u00a0 All of it.<\/h4>\nFirst<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe rejection letter.\u00a0 The three fiber art pieces I entered in a regional exhibition were rejected by the juror.\u00a0 Bummer!\u00a0 But, to be frank, I’ve been at this “exhibition game” since 1976, when I entered my first art show.\u00a0 Getting rejections and acceptances is my normal life.\u00a0 I put my work out for a juror to see, and I hope to be in the shows.<\/p>\nWriting is very similar.\u00a0 I send my poems and non-fiction essays out occasionally, to editors of journals and anthologies.\u00a0 Just like waiting for the juror to select or reject my artwork, this is the same.\u00a0 My work goes before a juror, or editor, and selections are made.\u00a0 Some get published, and some do not.\u00a0 I have my ups and my downs, and that is my NORMAL way of life. We have to be willing to keep on going despite any set-backs we encounter.\u00a0 And, at the same time, we are willing to accept the good news, too.\u00a0 It is all a part of life.<\/p>\nIn the early-80s,\u00a0 I was studying painting at the Hoyt Institute of Fine Art.\u00a0 I spent about 3 years there, in the weekly painting classes taught by David Ludwick. I was painting every day, for hours, in between the weekly classes.\u00a0 I was on fire, with a desire to paint pictures. And, I was growing.<\/p>\nI learned from the painting instructor that if we got in 50 percent of the shows we entered, that would be fantastic.\u00a0 Most of the time, it will be blow that number.\u00a0 After putting work in for a juried show, it does not take long before the declines are not so disappointing, and the acceptances are even sweeter when they come.<\/p>\nLast week,\u00a0 I had received the\u00a0 rejection notice, I was listening to music as I was working at home.\u00a0 I have Alexa in the kitchen, and typically, I ask for some classical music.\u00a0 Most often, I ask for Mozart.<\/p>\nOne particular piece really made me stop and listen for a while.\u00a0 This was Mozart’s Clarinette Concerto.<\/p>\nI\u00a0 included this music\u00a0 today in my post because I have the hope\u00a0 that you also find peace today wherever you are.<\/p>\nEven if is a week where troubles come calling and something happens that brings sorrow and pain.<\/p>\nPause to listen to the music,\u00a0\u00a0Listen now.<\/a><\/h4>\n <\/p>\n\n\nToday, my focus is on the Ups and Downs that we experience\u00a0 in life.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSome days bring good news that makes me celebrate with a little happy dance. I\u00a0 pause to say “Thank You” to God for this blessing.<\/p>\nSecond.<\/strong><\/h3>\nHere is a positive notice that I\u00a0 received, also.<\/p>\nI learned this week that two of my pieces of pottery were selected to appear in the Somatosensory Exhibition, 2026.\u00a0 They were entered in this juried competition and 7 judges made the decisions\u00a0 of artworks to include in the show, as well as artworks that will not be in the show.<\/p>\nMy two pieces are sculptures that were created from slabs of clay in the pottery studio.<\/p>\n“Lemon Lily,” is a dynamic and beautiful bowl.\u00a0 It invites visitors to touch it to experience the slick glazed surface, and the organic waves of the bowls design, that flares in and out,\u00a0 The edges of this bowl have round and slick silky balls\u00a0 of clay that were applied to give the bowl more of that feeling for a visitor to reach out and touch those edges.<\/p>\nAlso, “Silver Iceflow,” is a wall piece that gives the viewer a feeling of standing on a frigid day in deep winter, and watch the ice flowing down stream, with rocks popping to the surface, here and there.\u00a0 It glimmers in the darkness, with three different colors of stones embedded into the silvery surface that give the sculpture\u00a0 a feeling of winter and storms that come in the deepest dark of the night.<\/p>\nOf course, I am delighted that my work will be on display and I hope to be able to be at the opening reception in November.<\/p>\nBut just after I got the good news, I also had some tragic news, too.<\/p>\nThird.<\/strong><\/h3>\nOther days bring sorrows and tears, and are heart breaking. I pause to say, “God,\u00a0 help me through this grief that is breaking my heart today.”<\/p>\nMy tears were flowing as I caressed my precious cat, Miss Bessy.\u00a0 She had reached the end of her life over the past 2 days.\u00a0 She was beginning to die, and I know the signs from years of caring for my beloved cats.\u00a0 An emergency visit to our veterinary confirmed my fears.\u00a0 It was very clear that she was dying\u00a0 as she stretched out on a warm towel on the table.\u00a0 Because Miss Bessie has been an indoor cat ever since we rescued her in the summer of 2012, I knew that we simply could not bury her outside.\u00a0 I decided to have her cremated and her name will be on the container that holds her\u00a0 ashes, here in the home where she spent her life with her sister Miss Opal, and the other cats we rescued over the years.<\/p>\nThere is a sad silence hanging over the entire house, it seems.\u00a0 One less bowl of bedtime treats, and a deep sorrow in my heart as I serve one less cat each evening at bedtime.<\/p>\nYes, we all have Ups and Downs, and sometimes, like it was this past week,\u00a0 they all touch our hearts in some way.<\/p>\n__<\/p>\n__Scripture<\/strong><\/h3>\n3 Bible Verses for Ups and Downs!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nI selected verses that will fortify us when we are celebrating victories or weeping tears in our defeats.<\/p>\nFirst of all, Our God will never leave us in any circumstances.\u00a0 We are never ALONE.\u00a0 Never.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\nColossians 3:15<\/a> ESV<\/span><\/h3>\nAnd let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nPsalm 40:1-17<\/a> ESV\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nTo the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. <\/span>I waited patiently for the Lord<\/span>; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord<\/span>. Blessed is the man who makes the Lord<\/span> his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie! You have multiplied, O Lord<\/span> my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told. .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nJohn 14:6<\/a> ESV\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\nJesus said to him, \u201cI am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n__Daily Action Plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n <\/p>\nAfter reading the scriptures and listening to the music, write about your own ups and down this past week.<\/p>\nHow can you\u00a0 move on this week, despite any set-backs?<\/p>\nHow can you celebrate your victories?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n__\u00a9<\/a>Lynda\u2019s Journal of Blessings, 2026.<\/em>_<\/p>\nPlease let me know how God\u00a0 has shown you his faithfulness this week.<\/p>\n__<\/p>\n” Lynda’s Prayer Garden”Photo by Bob Lambert<\/p><\/div>\nFYI<\/em><\/p>\nFinal Note:<\/h3>\nWhat inspired me to begin writing blog posts about BLESSINGS?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nYour comments and prayers inspire the best in me.<\/p>\nLet me know if this message is helpful to you.<\/p>\nThank you for sharing my Sunday Blessings posts with others to encourage them and share the Love of Jesus.<\/p>\n\u00a9<\/strong><\/a>Lynda\u2019s Journal of Blessings, 2026.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nFYI: My Background:<\/em><\/h3>\nProfessor Lynda McKinney Lambert taught fine art and humanities at a Christian college in Western Pennsylvania, She was a tenured professor, an actively exhibiting artist, and a published author.<\/em><\/p>\nMy\u00a0 courses\u00a0 were studies across the disciplines \u2013 Art \u2013<\/em>\nEnglish\u00a0 Literature \u2013 Humanities.<\/em><\/p>\nMy courses were taught on campus during the spring and fall semesters.\u00a0 In the summer, I taught in Salzburg, Austria for a month of travel and studies.<\/em><\/p>\nMy passions in academia are poetry and fine art.\u00a0 I author books and I create\u00a0 fine art in several mediums \u2013 Painting\u00a0 and\u00a0 Fiber Art.<\/em><\/p>\nHow I Found HOPEFULNESS in Unexpected Changes:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nI discovered a new life after sudden sight loss.

\u00a9<\/a><\/em>Lynda\u2019s Journal of Blessings, #784<\/strong><\/p>\n>> Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto <<<\/strong><\/h3>\n\nI\u00a0 have been in love with Mozart’s music for many years.\u00a0 I was saturated in Mozart’s music and life in the summer of 1991.\u00a0 This was my first trip to Austria, and the entire country was celebrating the 200th anniversary of Mozart’s death. Mozart and his music were on the for-front of everything we encountered that summer.\u00a0 It was the gift of a lifetime, for me.\u00a0 <\/em><\/h4>\nI was in Austria to celebrate the successful completion of my MFA degree at West Virginia University.\u00a0 I had made it, and I was overjoyed to be in Austria that summer.<\/em><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\nLast week I asked Alexa too “play some Austrian classical music.”\u00a0 The concert, “Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto,”\u00a0 began immediately and I really needed a nice break in a busy day here at home. This week had some Ups and some Downs.\u00a0 Moments when good news\u00a0 arrived and I am so happy.\u00a0 Then, there were\u00a0 moments, that are not what I wanted to get. Heartbreaking days, and mountain-high celebration days.\u00a0 All of it.<\/h4>\nFirst<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe rejection letter.\u00a0 The three fiber art pieces I entered in a regional exhibition were rejected by the juror.\u00a0 Bummer!\u00a0 But, to be frank, I’ve been at this “exhibition game” since 1976, when I entered my first art show.\u00a0 Getting rejections and acceptances is my normal life.\u00a0 I put my work out for a juror to see, and I hope to be in the shows.<\/p>\nWriting is very similar.\u00a0 I send my poems and non-fiction essays out occasionally, to editors of journals and anthologies.\u00a0 Just like waiting for the juror to select or reject my artwork, this is the same.\u00a0 My work goes before a juror, or editor, and selections are made.\u00a0 Some get published, and some do not.\u00a0 I have my ups and my downs, and that is my NORMAL way of life. We have to be willing to keep on going despite any set-backs we encounter.\u00a0 And, at the same time, we are willing to accept the good news, too.\u00a0 It is all a part of life.<\/p>\nIn the early-80s,\u00a0 I was studying painting at the Hoyt Institute of Fine Art.\u00a0 I spent about 3 years there, in the weekly painting classes taught by David Ludwick. I was painting every day, for hours, in between the weekly classes.\u00a0 I was on fire, with a desire to paint pictures. And, I was growing.<\/p>\nI learned from the painting instructor that if we got in 50 percent of the shows we entered, that would be fantastic.\u00a0 Most of the time, it will be blow that number.\u00a0 After putting work in for a juried show, it does not take long before the declines are not so disappointing, and the acceptances are even sweeter when they come.<\/p>\nLast week,\u00a0 I had received the\u00a0 rejection notice, I was listening to music as I was working at home.\u00a0 I have Alexa in the kitchen, and typically, I ask for some classical music.\u00a0 Most often, I ask for Mozart.<\/p>\nOne particular piece really made me stop and listen for a while.\u00a0 This was Mozart’s Clarinette Concerto.<\/p>\nI\u00a0 included this music\u00a0 today in my post because I have the hope\u00a0 that you also find peace today wherever you are.<\/p>\nEven if is a week where troubles come calling and something happens that brings sorrow and pain.<\/p>\nPause to listen to the music,\u00a0\u00a0Listen now.<\/a><\/h4>\n <\/p>\n\n\nToday, my focus is on the Ups and Downs that we experience\u00a0 in life.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSome days bring good news that makes me celebrate with a little happy dance. I\u00a0 pause to say “Thank You” to God for this blessing.<\/p>\nSecond.<\/strong><\/h3>\nHere is a positive notice that I\u00a0 received, also.<\/p>\nI learned this week that two of my pieces of pottery were selected to appear in the Somatosensory Exhibition, 2026.\u00a0 They were entered in this juried competition and 7 judges made the decisions\u00a0 of artworks to include in the show, as well as artworks that will not be in the show.<\/p>\nMy two pieces are sculptures that were created from slabs of clay in the pottery studio.<\/p>\n“Lemon Lily,” is a dynamic and beautiful bowl.\u00a0 It invites visitors to touch it to experience the slick glazed surface, and the organic waves of the bowls design, that flares in and out,\u00a0 The edges of this bowl have round and slick silky balls\u00a0 of clay that were applied to give the bowl more of that feeling for a visitor to reach out and touch those edges.<\/p>\nAlso, “Silver Iceflow,” is a wall piece that gives the viewer a feeling of standing on a frigid day in deep winter, and watch the ice flowing down stream, with rocks popping to the surface, here and there.\u00a0 It glimmers in the darkness, with three different colors of stones embedded into the silvery surface that give the sculpture\u00a0 a feeling of winter and storms that come in the deepest dark of the night.<\/p>\nOf course, I am delighted that my work will be on display and I hope to be able to be at the opening reception in November.<\/p>\nBut just after I got the good news, I also had some tragic news, too.<\/p>\nThird.<\/strong><\/h3>\nOther days bring sorrows and tears, and are heart breaking. I pause to say, “God,\u00a0 help me through this grief that is breaking my heart today.”<\/p>\nMy tears were flowing as I caressed my precious cat, Miss Bessy.\u00a0 She had reached the end of her life over the past 2 days.\u00a0 She was beginning to die, and I know the signs from years of caring for my beloved cats.\u00a0 An emergency visit to our veterinary confirmed my fears.\u00a0 It was very clear that she was dying\u00a0 as she stretched out on a warm towel on the table.\u00a0 Because Miss Bessie has been an indoor cat ever since we rescued her in the summer of 2012, I knew that we simply could not bury her outside.\u00a0 I decided to have her cremated and her name will be on the container that holds her\u00a0 ashes, here in the home where she spent her life with her sister Miss Opal, and the other cats we rescued over the years.<\/p>\nThere is a sad silence hanging over the entire house, it seems.\u00a0 One less bowl of bedtime treats, and a deep sorrow in my heart as I serve one less cat each evening at bedtime.<\/p>\nYes, we all have Ups and Downs, and sometimes, like it was this past week,\u00a0 they all touch our hearts in some way.<\/p>\n__<\/p>\n__Scripture<\/strong><\/h3>\n3 Bible Verses for Ups and Downs!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nI selected verses that will fortify us when we are celebrating victories or weeping tears in our defeats.<\/p>\nFirst of all, Our God will never leave us in any circumstances.\u00a0 We are never ALONE.\u00a0 Never.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\nColossians 3:15<\/a> ESV<\/span><\/h3>\nAnd let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nPsalm 40:1-17<\/a> ESV\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nTo the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. <\/span>I waited patiently for the Lord<\/span>; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord<\/span>. Blessed is the man who makes the Lord<\/span> his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie! You have multiplied, O Lord<\/span> my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told. .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nJohn 14:6<\/a> ESV\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\nJesus said to him, \u201cI am the way, and the truth, and the life.

\nI\u00a0 have been in love with Mozart’s music for many years.\u00a0 I was saturated in Mozart’s music and life in the summer of 1991.\u00a0 This was my first trip to Austria, and the entire country was celebrating the 200th anniversary of Mozart’s death. Mozart and his music were on the for-front of everything we encountered that summer.\u00a0 It was the gift of a lifetime, for me.\u00a0 <\/em><\/h4>\nI was in Austria to celebrate the successful completion of my MFA degree at West Virginia University.\u00a0 I had made it, and I was overjoyed to be in Austria that summer.<\/em><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\nLast week I asked Alexa too “play some Austrian classical music.”\u00a0 The concert, “Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto,”\u00a0 began immediately and I really needed a nice break in a busy day here at home. This week had some Ups and some Downs.\u00a0 Moments when good news\u00a0 arrived and I am so happy.\u00a0 Then, there were\u00a0 moments, that are not what I wanted to get. Heartbreaking days, and mountain-high celebration days.\u00a0 All of it.<\/h4>\nFirst<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe rejection letter.\u00a0 The three fiber art pieces I entered in a regional exhibition were rejected by the juror.\u00a0 Bummer!\u00a0 But, to be frank, I’ve been at this “exhibition game” since 1976, when I entered my first art show.\u00a0 Getting rejections and acceptances is my normal life.\u00a0 I put my work out for a juror to see, and I hope to be in the shows.<\/p>\nWriting is very similar.\u00a0 I send my poems and non-fiction essays out occasionally, to editors of journals and anthologies.\u00a0 Just like waiting for the juror to select or reject my artwork, this is the same.\u00a0 My work goes before a juror, or editor, and selections are made.\u00a0 Some get published, and some do not.\u00a0 I have my ups and my downs, and that is my NORMAL way of life. We have to be willing to keep on going despite any set-backs we encounter.\u00a0 And, at the same time, we are willing to accept the good news, too.\u00a0 It is all a part of life.<\/p>\nIn the early-80s,\u00a0 I was studying painting at the Hoyt Institute of Fine Art.\u00a0 I spent about 3 years there, in the weekly painting classes taught by David Ludwick. I was painting every day, for hours, in between the weekly classes.\u00a0 I was on fire, with a desire to paint pictures. And, I was growing.<\/p>\nI learned from the painting instructor that if we got in 50 percent of the shows we entered, that would be fantastic.\u00a0 Most of the time, it will be blow that number.\u00a0 After putting work in for a juried show, it does not take long before the declines are not so disappointing, and the acceptances are even sweeter when they come.<\/p>\nLast week,\u00a0 I had received the\u00a0 rejection notice, I was listening to music as I was working at home.\u00a0 I have Alexa in the kitchen, and typically, I ask for some classical music.\u00a0 Most often, I ask for Mozart.<\/p>\nOne particular piece really made me stop and listen for a while.\u00a0 This was Mozart’s Clarinette Concerto.<\/p>\nI\u00a0 included this music\u00a0 today in my post because I have the hope\u00a0 that you also find peace today wherever you are.<\/p>\nEven if is a week where troubles come calling and something happens that brings sorrow and pain.<\/p>\nPause to listen to the music,\u00a0\u00a0Listen now.<\/a><\/h4>\n <\/p>\n\n\nToday, my focus is on the Ups and Downs that we experience\u00a0 in life.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSome days bring good news that makes me celebrate with a little happy dance. I\u00a0 pause to say “Thank You” to God for this blessing.<\/p>\nSecond.<\/strong><\/h3>\nHere is a positive notice that I\u00a0 received, also.<\/p>\nI learned this week that two of my pieces of pottery were selected to appear in the Somatosensory Exhibition, 2026.\u00a0 They were entered in this juried competition and 7 judges made the decisions\u00a0 of artworks to include in the show, as well as artworks that will not be in the show.<\/p>\nMy two pieces are sculptures that were created from slabs of clay in the pottery studio.<\/p>\n“Lemon Lily,” is a dynamic and beautiful bowl.\u00a0 It invites visitors to touch it to experience the slick glazed surface, and the organic waves of the bowls design, that flares in and out,\u00a0 The edges of this bowl have round and slick silky balls\u00a0 of clay that were applied to give the bowl more of that feeling for a visitor to reach out and touch those edges.<\/p>\nAlso, “Silver Iceflow,” is a wall piece that gives the viewer a feeling of standing on a frigid day in deep winter, and watch the ice flowing down stream, with rocks popping to the surface, here and there.\u00a0 It glimmers in the darkness, with three different colors of stones embedded into the silvery surface that give the sculpture\u00a0 a feeling of winter and storms that come in the deepest dark of the night.<\/p>\nOf course, I am delighted that my work will be on display and I hope to be able to be at the opening reception in November.<\/p>\nBut just after I got the good news, I also had some tragic news, too.<\/p>\nThird.<\/strong><\/h3>\nOther days bring sorrows and tears, and are heart breaking. I pause to say, “God,\u00a0 help me through this grief that is breaking my heart today.”<\/p>\nMy tears were flowing as I caressed my precious cat, Miss Bessy.\u00a0 She had reached the end of her life over the past 2 days.\u00a0 She was beginning to die, and I know the signs from years of caring for my beloved cats.\u00a0 An emergency visit to our veterinary confirmed my fears.\u00a0 It was very clear that she was dying\u00a0 as she stretched out on a warm towel on the table.\u00a0 Because Miss Bessie has been an indoor cat ever since we rescued her in the summer of 2012, I knew that we simply could not bury her outside.\u00a0 I decided to have her cremated and her name will be on the container that holds her\u00a0 ashes, here in the home where she spent her life with her sister Miss Opal, and the other cats we rescued over the years.<\/p>\nThere is a sad silence hanging over the entire house, it seems.\u00a0 One less bowl of bedtime treats, and a deep sorrow in my heart as I serve one less cat each evening at bedtime.<\/p>\nYes, we all have Ups and Downs, and sometimes, like it was this past week,\u00a0 they all touch our hearts in some way.<\/p>\n__<\/p>\n__Scripture<\/strong><\/h3>\n3 Bible Verses for Ups and Downs!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nI selected verses that will fortify us when we are celebrating victories or weeping tears in our defeats.<\/p>\nFirst of all, Our God will never leave us in any circumstances.\u00a0 We are never ALONE.\u00a0 Never.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\nColossians 3:15<\/a> ESV<\/span><\/h3>\nAnd let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nPsalm 40:1-17<\/a> ESV\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nTo the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. <\/span>I waited patiently for the Lord<\/span>; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord<\/span>. Blessed is the man who makes the Lord<\/span> his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie! You have multiplied, O Lord<\/span> my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you!

The rejection letter.\u00a0 The three fiber art pieces I entered in a regional exhibition were rejected by the juror.\u00a0 Bummer!\u00a0 But, to be frank, I’ve been at this “exhibition game” since 1976, when I entered my first art show.\u00a0 Getting rejections and acceptances is my normal life.\u00a0 I put my work out for a juror to see, and I hope to be in the shows.<\/p>\n
Writing is very similar.\u00a0 I send my poems and non-fiction essays out occasionally, to editors of journals and anthologies.\u00a0 Just like waiting for the juror to select or reject my artwork, this is the same.\u00a0 My work goes before a juror, or editor, and selections are made.\u00a0 Some get published, and some do not.\u00a0 I have my ups and my downs, and that is my NORMAL way of life. We have to be willing to keep on going despite any set-backs we encounter.\u00a0 And, at the same time, we are willing to accept the good news, too.\u00a0 It is all a part of life.<\/p>\n
In the early-80s,\u00a0 I was studying painting at the Hoyt Institute of Fine Art.\u00a0 I spent about 3 years there, in the weekly painting classes taught by David Ludwick. I was painting every day, for hours, in between the weekly classes.\u00a0 I was on fire, with a desire to paint pictures. And, I was growing.<\/p>\n
I learned from the painting instructor that if we got in 50 percent of the shows we entered, that would be fantastic.\u00a0 Most of the time, it will be blow that number.\u00a0 After putting work in for a juried show, it does not take long before the declines are not so disappointing, and the acceptances are even sweeter when they come.<\/p>\n
Last week,\u00a0 I had received the\u00a0 rejection notice, I was listening to music as I was working at home.\u00a0 I have Alexa in the kitchen, and typically, I ask for some classical music.\u00a0 Most often, I ask for Mozart.<\/p>\n
One particular piece really made me stop and listen for a while.\u00a0 This was Mozart’s Clarinette Concerto.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0 included this music\u00a0 today in my post because I have the hope\u00a0 that you also find peace today wherever you are.<\/p>\n
Even if is a week where troubles come calling and something happens that brings sorrow and pain.<\/p>\n
Some days bring good news that makes me celebrate with a little happy dance. I\u00a0 pause to say “Thank You” to God for this blessing.<\/p>\n
Here is a positive notice that I\u00a0 received, also.<\/p>\n
I learned this week that two of my pieces of pottery were selected to appear in the Somatosensory Exhibition, 2026.\u00a0 They were entered in this juried competition and 7 judges made the decisions\u00a0 of artworks to include in the show, as well as artworks that will not be in the show.<\/p>\n
My two pieces are sculptures that were created from slabs of clay in the pottery studio.<\/p>\n
“Lemon Lily,” is a dynamic and beautiful bowl.\u00a0 It invites visitors to touch it to experience the slick glazed surface, and the organic waves of the bowls design, that flares in and out,\u00a0 The edges of this bowl have round and slick silky balls\u00a0 of clay that were applied to give the bowl more of that feeling for a visitor to reach out and touch those edges.<\/p>\n
Also, “Silver Iceflow,” is a wall piece that gives the viewer a feeling of standing on a frigid day in deep winter, and watch the ice flowing down stream, with rocks popping to the surface, here and there.\u00a0 It glimmers in the darkness, with three different colors of stones embedded into the silvery surface that give the sculpture\u00a0 a feeling of winter and storms that come in the deepest dark of the night.<\/p>\n
Of course, I am delighted that my work will be on display and I hope to be able to be at the opening reception in November.<\/p>\n
But just after I got the good news, I also had some tragic news, too.<\/p>\n
Other days bring sorrows and tears, and are heart breaking. I pause to say, “God,\u00a0 help me through this grief that is breaking my heart today.”<\/p>\n
My tears were flowing as I caressed my precious cat, Miss Bessy.\u00a0 She had reached the end of her life over the past 2 days.\u00a0 She was beginning to die, and I know the signs from years of caring for my beloved cats.\u00a0 An emergency visit to our veterinary confirmed my fears.\u00a0 It was very clear that she was dying\u00a0 as she stretched out on a warm towel on the table.\u00a0 Because Miss Bessie has been an indoor cat ever since we rescued her in the summer of 2012, I knew that we simply could not bury her outside.\u00a0 I decided to have her cremated and her name will be on the container that holds her\u00a0 ashes, here in the home where she spent her life with her sister Miss Opal, and the other cats we rescued over the years.<\/p>\n
There is a sad silence hanging over the entire house, it seems.\u00a0 One less bowl of bedtime treats, and a deep sorrow in my heart as I serve one less cat each evening at bedtime.<\/p>\n
Yes, we all have Ups and Downs, and sometimes, like it was this past week,\u00a0 they all touch our hearts in some way.<\/p>\n
__<\/p>\n
3 Bible Verses for Ups and Downs!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nI selected verses that will fortify us when we are celebrating victories or weeping tears in our defeats.<\/p>\nFirst of all, Our God will never leave us in any circumstances.\u00a0 We are never ALONE.\u00a0 Never.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\nColossians 3:15<\/a> ESV<\/span><\/h3>\nAnd let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nPsalm 40:1-17<\/a> ESV\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nTo the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. <\/span>I waited patiently for the Lord<\/span>; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord<\/span>. Blessed is the man who makes the Lord<\/span> his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie! You have multiplied, O Lord<\/span> my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told. .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nJohn 14:6<\/a> ESV\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\nJesus said to him, \u201cI am the way, and the truth, and the life.

I selected verses that will fortify us when we are celebrating victories or weeping tears in our defeats.<\/p>\n
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. <\/span>I waited patiently for the Lord<\/span>; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord<\/span>. Blessed is the man who makes the Lord<\/span> his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie! You have multiplied, O Lord<\/span> my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told. .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nJohn 14:6<\/a> ESV\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\nJesus said to him, \u201cI am the way, and the truth, and the life.
