God has given my husband artistic ability. He had a massive stroke that has affected the right side of his body. He used to be right handed but now he has learned to do everything with his left hand, including these beautiful abstract paintings. The technique is called “acrylic pouring painting” on canvas. He has put a scripture on the back of each painting to remind us that God keeps His promises. As I watch Carl pour the paint on the canvas using only one hand and see his artistic ability, I’m reminded of God’s sovereign purpose. This is about what GOD CAN DO through us. No stroke, no paralysis, has stopped what God has prepared in advance for him to do…for God’s glory!
For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Eph. 2:10
These are amazing Carl. I’m constantly reminded, as well as inspired, through your artistic expressions how important it is see life as a continuing journey of faith and gratitude.
Someone much wiser than I once told me, “Everything is a blessing. Everything.” One thing I know for sure is that God loves us and will help us to get through whatever happens.
Your messages are so inspiring. These are lovely paintings. God bless you and Carl.
Amazing ! As always ๐๐๐
You both never cease to amaze me, when one is weak the other is strong. His painting and your words bring me great comfort. Thank you for being faithful and thank you for helping to remind me to be. We do have an amazing God and he has sent us unforgettable friends to help us live this life until we get to be with him for eternity. Thank you friend for your constant reminder!
We are not able to see what God has planned for us. We try to see and understand what is ahead, but it just doesnโt work that way. God loves to take what we cannot see and turn into beauty. Wonderful works! Keep on keeping on.
