My beloved Dianna is a very gifted artist. Some of her work can be viewed by clicking on to the link in the upper left corner of this blog under the heading, “Giving Theology the Boot”.
Recently she had also discovered some pretty amazing computer tools she could use to enhance pictures taken of “dead things”, that is, dead plant life. There is a whole world of art work and pictures and stories that can be found in God’s creation, for truly, every stalk is a quill proclaiming the glories of His grace!
As she was working on a particular piece, and finding much joy in the process, I happened to notice how the sun was reflecting its light and framing in what was a beautiful picture to me and thus I went outside and took a picture. She did not account for the fact that we were having Internet connection problems at the time. Thus the following tells the story of what happened.
The sun is going down.
My wife is in her gown.
She’s painting with computer skills
That will you just astound.
We find that all around
God’s beauty can be found.
Hidden in the smallest things
God’s glory doth abound!
But then there was a glitch.
Computers have a hitch.
For when the Internet goes down
It’s like a turn-off switch.
And that which she had done,
Was like it had off run,
Erasing everything that she
Had only just begun.
Now thankful for her trial.
We laughed for just awhile.
And glory in the beauty
Of our God and Father’s smile.
For every stalk’s a quill,
Proclaiming that God will
All His purpose for His glory
Surely will fulfill!
The art print below was cropped from an original photo of a dead "mum" on Grandma’s porch back in North Carolina. There was one small green sprout in the bottom of the pot which I had the camera focused on. When the picture was snapped, the shadows from the sun streaming into the pot revealed the presence of these little creatures. Adding color to the grey images produced this final Master piece.
