The Family Portrait
Once upon a time a Canvas was set. He set aside a Palette of Colors, Placing His brush upon the Canvas A Portrait of a Family; His Palette was full of Colors,
He blended dark shadows with subtle hues of Gold. Splashes of Love outlined colors of Pain. The Portrait was finally complete, © Monica Palmer
Long before we ever met,
God placed it on the Easel. He waited.
A special Portrait would be Painted.
He knew just how to use them.
God waited till the Time was right,
then He began to choose them.
God painted an image Extraordinaire.
The details seemed faint at first,
but the Picture was truly there.
a child, a mom, a dad.
This painting had something Extra,
God used everything He had.
He knew just what it would take.
Each Stroke was deliberately brushed in place.
A Special Portrait He would make.
Using the richest colors, a picture began to unfold.
One very special child, two fathers and two mothers.
The image began taking shape with such beautiful colors.
Shades of Joy and Sadness
were mixed throughout the Picture,
among Stripes of Sorrow and Gladness.
He gently framed it with His Heart
He hung it in the Halls of Faith . . .
A Priceless Work of Art.
