Always a place for gifts…

I’m one of the artistic type of people. I love to make things beautiful…with fabric…with a piano or keyboard-that-places-an-orchestra-at-my-fingertips…with words…with a mouse and screen and vectors and colors…with website coding.

But so often, I wonder how God can really use art. It often seems so very unpractical and unnecessary in the grander scheme of things…even though I know that these things I love to do stem from a gift He’s given me.

Maybe that’s why this photo post from Keely blessed me so much…

A Melody to God. . .

As we were doing the normal “tour the Compassion Development Center” this morning I couldn’t help but notice all the bright colors covering the walls.

Some filled with writing, some with diagrams. . . but every wall was Art.

We walked into a room that had a handful of beautifully painted canvases displayed on the shelves. . .I was in awe and quickly knew someone at the project had talent and sees talent.

Admiring the art I asked one of the project staff members who the art teacher was. . .I had to meet them!

With a big smile they said “Our director Susan, she is an artist.”
