The Daily Spectrum - Faith Grows Best In The Winter Of Trial

This past winter was a trial for many people. The Northener's froze as did the Southener's when the temperatures in America dipped well below normal. Many opinions and attitudes were shaped by the media and the weather broadcasters.

Yet a complete transformation of the mind is possible. By listening to the bleak forecast and the undercurrent of depression elicited from the reporters' mouths, one might be tempted to become angry and bitter. This is a waste of time. We don't have to become oppressed and suppressed.

I long to know that who I am matters. I want to shine in the art world and have a sense of accomplishment before I leave this world. I would love to leave a legacy, but more importantly - did my work make a difference? Did it help someone appreciate their own life?

This passion fuels my life message - I do all through God's grace. I see His divine beauty. This vision and the action of putting my art up for sale can change the world: One sold painting at a time - one changed and opened heart at a time. Let the love flow in.

Over this past winter, my head got straightened out. The only way to replace sickness is with wholeness.

Until next time,
The happy painter,
Jill
