A friend of JM and mine lost their son two years ago, Nov. 7 2007. Judson or Jud the stud as his mom calls him. He was a miraculous little boy. Never in my life have I known a child that knew his creator so profoundly. JM and I have had the privilege to get to know his parents of the last few months. But we never got to meet Judson while here on earth. Judson has touched my heart and has made me draw closer to our Lord Jesus Christ. He has not only affected me but hundreds of people around the world with his story.
This week I was able to create a canvas piece in tribute to Judson. There where so many emotions for me while creating this piece for his parents. Here I was making a piece of art for a boy who I never met and how he has touched my heart so deeply. At the end of the 5 hours it took to put it together fear entered. I told JM that I was afraid to give it to our friends. I was afraid that they may think it was offensive in some way or that it hurt their hearts. I prayed as I laid every piece on the canvas and asked the Lord to direct what it was that I was to create. Then I looked back as the light over head glowed over it and all I could do was stare at it. It was beautiful in my eyes and JM said I did a great job. Judson has inspired me to create on canvas again, something I have not done in a long long time, 8 years to be exact. I pray it becomes a regular habit again!
