Just as the thickness of a brush stroke on canvas cannot be deciphered in its entirety, a 7-year-old child’s shrinking family cannot be vulnerable unless you peel away at each layer of paint. Only then will you see the grief, burdens, fears, and love hidden in it all.
Amidst upheaval and want for security and hope, this child’s story forms an impressionistic painting of joy amidst mourning, love, and the healing message of God’s redeeming grace.
