FRAGILE AND FRAIL!

Frail enough to fall. Weak enough to wobble. 
Without power says it all. But God in HIS transcendent power reminded me once again "THAT" power belongs only to Him NOT to me. It's only in this weakness and broken vessel of mine that I can find strength, in His all-surpassing power. As i've allowed Him to touch me in order to use me, just as I am, i received a big "touching" message.
A note from Ellen (1999) whose passing has "undone" me and yet I want to speak at her funeral-----to share her genuine goodness. How is that even possible?!

My answer..... "But God in His love and mercy" filled with His power gave me the words in Ellen's own hand writing,

"And thank you for always being there to encourage me to "dance." 
                           xoxo Ellen

May all that is within me praise His holy name as once again God allowed Ellen to bless me with her love and very own words!

WORD PLAY!

Wordsmiths love word play. Word Play defined as the witty exploitation of the meanings and ambiguitites of words. A figurative (not literal) form of language---think poetic license in your writing.

WORD PLAY---wonderful to wonderfully. OK? Yes, but take away the ly --- 
0nly one L unless you want word play emphasis. Wonder-full!
 
In the arts, a "wonderful" creations fills our hearts with wonder, awe and appreciation:
Consider the intricacies of light and color that dance on a canvas by Monet. Wonder-full!
Think about Verdi's opera, Aida, often staged with live horses on set..
Wonder-full!
Contemplate your favorite light-as-a-feather French pastry...cream-filled and coated with just enough dark chocolate.
Wonder-full! (Woman of God Wonderfully Made, p.4)
But God's creations are more wonderful and awe inspiring than anything created by mankind. We, created by Him, are "fearfully and wonderfully made." (Psalm 139:14)

(Isaiah 43:1) But now says the LORD, he who created you....Fear not, for I have redeemed you: I have called you by name, you are mine." (Woman, p.5)

Creator God is WONDER-FULL!
WORD PLAY at its best.
