I have a friend, Nathan Pinnock, who is an artist. One day he asked me if I would like him to paint a picture for my therapy room. He wanted to do something on a spiritual theme. We talked about it on several occasions. I wanted something that was spiritual in a suttle way because I have people of every walk of life and religion come to me for physical, mental, emotional and sometimes spiritual help. I didn't want a painting that would 'offend' someone because of their religious or ethnic background.
We talked about different ideas and I told him that I would like a picture of a child, with dark hair and dark eyes, with the Savior's hands cupping her face. I gave him a picture of me when I was 2 1/2 years old.
Well, this is the picture that he painted for me. It has great meaning to me because it is a symbol to me that the Lord doesn't stop bad things from happening to people, but he does help us heal IF we allow it.
Thank you Nate, there are NO words to describe how this picture touches me. It is Perfect.
