My last house for the biblical arts/exression. This week's visit was out of this world! All boys, and absolutely extravagant in their expression through the arts. Work with Crianca Feliz has been awesome!
Que Istou? What is it? The brilliance of a life: each set of fingerprints are different. A finished product of what it means to be the clay as the Potter forms and shapes us perfectly into His image year by year, day by day, tuning into precious gold in the end, as we are refined over and over again into glistening lights in the world.
Ready to see the works in this home? This was a beautiful day of explaining the Potter and the clay. The children were so relaxed as we went through the Word, and I praise God for that! He brought Himself to them in such a special way as they went through the pressing and pounding, and piecing together a person. We talked about creation as well. I told the children that they had a Father in heaven before the one who brought them into the earth. I read them about Isaiah 49:14-16...that they were inscribed on the palms of Daddy's hands forever!
Beautiful works!
Most of the time spent in this house I led the cuties down the road of Father God as ...PAPPA, and as the Potter (and we are the clay), but I also used the same theme of John 15 about staying close to him during our daily struggles and hard times together in the houses as I did with the others. The children painted out their own flowers, trees, or nature scenes to express good fruit being produced even during the difficult or lonely times. The whole lesson was about inner endurance. We did some theater to help demonstrate and bring home the message of loving others even when we don't feel like it, or when it seems like theres not any time to do this, or when we feel like we are the ones who need the love. Afterwards we talked about it and the kids had some great things to say. And finally... we painted! I loved the way these pieces came out!
A Brilliant Light....YOU! More on the cement textures we did together as our finale project!
Tons of fun spraying the creations with gold spray paint!
The finished products are spectacular! I cant wait to hear where they will hang these! In the other home they put them directly on the wals after they dried, and now there is a constant reminder there that they are the precious little lights of the whole world every day! Yeah! That their lives are brilliant, and unique, and absolutely beautiful as they shine for Jesus every day together in the midst of the tough truths, and stories of where each one of them came from before. God, You get all the glory!
