“I want one of you, Lala,” the boy replies.
It’s unsettling.
I do this so a four-year-old can have a bust of his Lala to take with him to Hawaii. But I don’t like it.
17 But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth. 19 We will know by this that we are of the truth, and will assure our heart before Him 20 in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and knows all things. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 22 and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.
1 John 3:17-22 (NASB)
I'm so glad you did this for your grandson!
Your grandson is a genius – that is a great idea. At least the across the ocean ends in Hawaii and not somewhere even further away. It's a GREAT place to visit! Loved how you told this story and I'll bet it turned out really well, too.
I must smile as I sit with you in the discomfort of being scrutinized by the public as you are artistically transformed into a keepsake for your Grandson. I enjoyed your comparison of how God loves us no matter how young or old we are.
Thanks, Ladies! Diane, my prayer is that everyone's grandson(or granddaughter) is a genius…or at least apprised as such.
