Grown in Faith

   We painted at the kitchen table. A variety of colors laid out in front of us. Shades with names that we did not know existed. We each had our own canvas, where we painted from the heart. The world seemed quiet and still. Though in the silence an occasional special conversation would come up.…

   My youngest son really wanted to go the park. So, after dinner we headed out. Although it was a nice day, it was still pretty cold outside. Though through the cold air, my heart was warmed with the laughter of his giggles. We played made up games of lava and tag. Although I can’t…
