The Body of Christ
|
The church is made up of all believers in Jesus Christ. The church was given the name of "the Body of Christ" as He is the Head. 1 Corinthians 12:12-31; Romans 12:5; Ephesians 4:12.
During my cancer fight many people in the Body of Christ came around me and prayed, comforted, brought food, visited, took care of my kids, etc. etc. Many of these were thank you gifts for those that surrounded me. I still have a few more to paint and will add those when I complete them. However, I am not going to share who they went to but I will share the location of the picture and in time, a couple of the stories that went along with them. |
This painting was taken from several pictures I found on the internet. I was asked by husband's boss to paint something for the Relay for Life event in Findlay, OH, that could be auctioned off. After completion of the painting his boss told me that she changed her mind and asked permission to hang it in the new Cancer Center Blanchard Valley was building in Findlay. I agreed, so hopefully one day I can update this and say I saw it there... of course being there only for a check up and not for treatment.
The title to this painting is CURE-AGEOUS as it was to depict my interpretation of my journey. The team that was walking called themselves this so I gave it the same name as I leaned very heavily on the book of Joshua during my fight for the cure. Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." The water representing the Living Water; Jesus Christ running right along the path I had to walk. The path was made smooth and you are looking at it seeing that He brought me through the mountains and the valleys and all the rocky places in between. I give God all glory for the strength and protection I endured as He brought me through! |
