and life goes on…
July 27 has always been a difficult time for me and my family. My sister passed away on this day, and life changed forever. Our family has always had faith that God is in control of all things. He giveth and taketh but it is always for good. So we worked through our grief and pain over the years with lots of prayers and a ton of faith.
So on this fine Sunday, July 27, 2008 at 5:52 p.m. my wonderful wife gave birth to our new baby girl!
Words do not do justice in what this day has meant. There are no more tears of pain and sorrow, but of joy and hope. I am always, amazed at God’s grace and mercy. I looked to the cross in that dark moment years ago and tried to remember that Jesus went through pain and death and that He also conquered it that day so all could live in light.
Today has shown me again the wonders of God and His eternal love.
Now I have another one of God’s creation to paint on canvas! Amen!

Hi Chris, I found you by way of Dave’s site. I watch him paint also. I just wanted to say I’m so happy for you and your wife, what a blessing. I think there is something special about her being born on the date you lost your sister. Take care. Barb Pask
