In God’s Image

A few months ago I walked into church and on the wall was this painting the preschoolers had made.

My 4 year old showed me the part she painted. I asked her who she painted, expecting her to name family members who tend to be the subject of most of her current artwork. But I was wrong, it was God. She painted herself with God, her friend in all his orange and purple glory.


A few weeks later she returned home from school excited to show me what she had been working on. “I colored you and Daddy! You’re orange and Daddy’s blue.”

Well there I am all orange donning my best purple. Made in God’s image indeed.
