“Luis’ Open Heart Surgery, Ecuador”
11″ x 14″ Pastel
I was privileged to hear this report from Dr. Chuck Dietzen and was asked to paint a portrait of Luis…
Luis, a two-year old from Ecuador, was brought to a temporary medical clinic with what was thought to be a cough, and was immediately diagnosed with congestive heart failure.
Friends of Dr. Dietzen were called upon to pray and help. With the help of six generous financial partners, Luis received the open heart surgery, that saved his life! Luis recovered well and is thriving.
What timing. Heart conditions are a spiritual matter, too. The Master Surgeon will heal any disease, sin or brokeness if we go to Him asking for help. I’m thankful.
“Orphans, Nairobi”
16″ x 20″ Pastel
I was struck by the great giggle that the center boy had. Orphans in Nairobi, Africa, laughing? These three were watching a skit being performed by a ventriloquist friend of ours. They heard about God’s complete and unconditional love.
God is Father to the fatherless.
“She’s Watched Over”
16″ x 20″ Pastel
If I’d only remember God is present.
“The Gift of a Child”
18″ x 24″ Pastel
“All children are a gift from the Lord.” Psalms 127:3
His love in conception, at birth, in families of birth or adoption is passionate. The places that our hearts long for will be completed in heaven!
“First Gift”
18″ x 24″ Pastel
The very first gift … God’s gift to us. His Only Son, putting on flesh, birthed into His creation. Just so we could know Him.
Our healing, forgiveness, and belonging… His life and His love forever.
Merry Christmas!
“Invisible Presence”
18″ x 24″ Pastel
Every delivery room senses the invisible Presence of God.
Miraculous, intended and forseen.
He looks forward to the day we want to meet Him as Father, tender and mighty.
