| The Path: Shining Ever Brighter Proverbs 4:18 |
I am posting
this to share with you a little more about my latest painting. The verse that
goes with the painting is special.
“The path of the righteous
is like the morning sun,
shining ever brighter
till the full light of day.”
(Proverbs
4:18)
As you can tell in the photo of my painting that the morning
sun has arrived and is reaching into the far corners of the forest while the
daylight reflects the brightness of the day in water so clear. Flowers edge the
riverbank and have spread out into the forest so peacefully. It is composed of something
that only could be achieved in the full light of day, yet time has been erased
and the scene is as if God Himself is watching. He sees the end from the
beginning, always. It is a delight to know that I depend on Him in all that I
do. With out God, I could not paint this way. To God be the glory.
I spent the week before my birthday visiting family in Texas
and Oklahoma. It was nice. I love them so much. I was back home on Friday and
spent my birthday unpacking and resting.
While I was gone, my cousin who had autism was admitted to
the hospital for an injury from a fall. I am not certain how it happened, but she
had to have stitches. She was finally sent home to recover only to be rushed to
the hospital that evening again. Come to find out, she had bleeding on the
brain that her initial ex-ray did not show. The Lord welcomed her with open
arms early Friday morning. Therefore, she is not autistic any longer. She is in
her glorified body with Jesus Christ our Savior while He wiped away every tear
from her eyes.
I was telling someone recently that she gets a double blessing.
More than what most of us will experience. She, because of her special needs,
was not able to run and play like the other children. We, on the other hand,
have played, jumped, and ran. Although she just turned fifty-two years old, she
was still just a child. But when she reached those golden gates, she could jump
and run like she never has before, praising God for the glorified body that she
was in.
