WE ARE ALL PICTURE PAINTERS

My maternal grandmother was an artist.

Indeed, I have hanging on a wall at home two pictures she painted that are obviously of the same place but painted in a different mood and with differing landscape changes.

The point I would make is that all painters paint not only from what they see but what they also have seen and experienced in the past. And everyone of you is a painter, even if it is only pictures you paint on your mind.

Good memories.

Bad memories.

And remember, as a parent or a grandparent you are helping your children and grandchildren in the painting of whatever pictures their memory factories produce.

This is proven all the time by little children who draw terrible pictures that show death and destruction with the color of blood predominating. Not just what is in front of their eyes but what they remember!

The memories of most people of their childhood would not cause bad and bloody pictures to be painted, but then how many good pictures would they inspire? How many indifferent, in-between pictures?

We are art teachers I guess is what I am saying, and so when Jesus says, “Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and mind and strength and soul and love thy neighbor as thyself” he is really giving instructions on how to help people paint better pictures, if not on canvas, at least on their minds.

James 5:13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
