I painted a picture yesterday--the first one I have painted in a long, long time.
It felt good--really, really good emotionally.
It hurt physically but it was so worth it and helped me get my mind
off a foreign object--
A new knee--a steel and plastic gliding thingie that is an engineering marvel--
These are close ups of my picture--only portions of the whole thing--
But I like them and think I will paint some huge canvases just like the
ones above--
And here is the whole canvas--it makes me happy, makes me smile
to look at it. For years to come or as long as God gives me on this earth,
when I look at this painting, it will take me back to a time of extreme growth and
stretching--
I will be able to look back and realize how God brought all the desolate parts of my
soul back together after some tragic losses and hard changes--
"You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance." Psalm 65:11
