My oldest daughter wanted to guest post on this devotional site. I wanted to include her explanation of this picture in her own handwriting, but alas, the technology to include more than one picture on here eludes me. So, I will quote her directly:
“Well, I like to compare art to God…like look at this! We are like the tree. We try to reach the sky but we never can. Jesus is like the mountain. He had a perfect life. The sky is heaven and you will live eternally there if you trust Jesus.”

Great Job, S! I love your picture and hearing how you compare the trees and sky to us and heaven. I also agree that Jesus is like the mountain. The Bible says Christ is the solid rock on which we stand. I can’t think of any rock more solid than a mountain. I love you, Daddy.

When I changed my email address WordPress seems to have stopped me receiving your posts. I have just woken up now and fixed it (I’m very slow!!) But I’m so glad to have arrived back in time to see this great post from your fabulous guest artist. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings
