A week ago we
were at Cades Cove for the day. This is one of my most favorite
spots! I have always looked at that area as a place of complete
relaxation and where I can enjoy God's beauty. I have gone there to
celebrate, de-stress, laugh, and cry. Sometimes all of those things
in one day! I seem to let my guard down more there than usual. This
allows me to be more open to God. That's probably why I have always
enjoyed the work of Thomas Kinkade. I wanted to share with you one of
my favorite passages from Thomas Kinkade. The last sentence is what I
have had to remember through the years. I can only imagine what he is
painting now!
Light of Hope
Through the
trees, the peaceful streams, the gentle rays of light, my hope
unfolds on canvas—a hope for a better world for my children and of
a future hope in heaven.
I know such
yearnings are not in vain. God paints the same optimistic picture in
His Word and makes my hope sure through His Son.
Though at times
the picture of life seems misshappen—with lines disjointed and
colors clashing—God sees a different beauty. It's simply my job to
trust His design and await with anticipation the unveiling of His
final masterpiece.
