Remind Yourself of Your Gifts

Now and then we come across something unexpectedly that reminds us of the extraordinary gifts God has given to us. This Lent let us remind ourselves of how blessed we are.
This is a photo of a painting I did in college. We were supposed to attempt to copy a master painting from the DIA (Detroit Institute of Arts). I shocked myself at how well I was able to do. I gave this painting away and so I don't think of it very often. However, when I run across the photo or it's memory comes to mind it takes my breath away and I remember that I am blessed and that blessings are not to be feared. This is harder than it seems. :)
