Two weeks ago my dear friends lost their sweet three-year old boy, Levi, to a rare type of brain cancer. I was honored when his grandparents asked me to draw a picture of him with some very specific details.
Levi loved giraffes and sports. He adored trains, too. They also asked for a garden, ladybugs and those wonderful trees with Mount-Kilimanjaro in the background. He loved the color blue.
When he saw the picture, Grandpa Nick said, "Only you could have done this." And when I told him how many people had been praying while I worked on it, he replied, "I see God's hand all over this drawing." That is one of the greatest compliments I've ever been given. I felt God guiding my pencil as I drew.
God bless you dear ones, thank you for dropping by--you are always, always a great encouragement to my heart. Happy Paint Party Friday!
This is so awesome, art for condolence. Stay blessed dear Beth
