"God's Blessings"

Copyrighted by Art4Him Studios - All rights reserved

I did this drawing for my husband. I really enjoyed working on it and praying for him. He loves farm life and I wanted to remind him that the Lord has blessed us in so many ways...ways that we might not even realize. I did this by drawing things that are special to him and to others. For the 'man thing', I included his love for John Deere tractors, farming and pigs. I also wanted to add more personal things from our life together. The apple trees represent our life together in New Hampshire, and the mouse going into the barn represents our many 'mouse stories'.  I added sheep in the pasture to represent several things... myself, as I love sheep and our daughters as they are our precious little lambs that the Lord has blessed us with. There is one little lamb looking up towards Heaven along with three butterflies in front of her. This particular lamb represents our daughter, Gabriella Joy, who went to Heaven at birth. The three butterflies represent our little ones who are also waiting for us in Heaven. We never had the privilege of holding these precious ones as they went to Glory through the miscarriages I had. Last of all, the dog under the tree, is our first dog we had together. His name was Bruiser. Jeff loved him so much and still misses him. I also wanted to remind my husband, that even Bruiser was a blessing from the Lord. I hope we will take the time to remember the MANY blessings the Lord has given us, even the tough times. It is in the tough times, that the Lord will take our weaknesses and make them perfect through His strength in us.
