It was a cold Easter morning as I set out to fill my car with the needed materials. About two weeks before I had a vision while worshiping the King of kings and I was ready to paint this heavenly design.

I continued, "The cups are our hearts getting ready for Jesus to fill us and use us." The 4 year old uttered, "What about the bird?" Again I was amazed how this little one wanted understanding.
