Feed My Sheep
(Oil on canvas on panel, 7" x 5", 2007)

 
     
  An elderly gentleman once said to me, "I've always believed that you can see the face of God in a small child."

This child was born, God's gift, on Christmas Day. My family spent Christmas morning in quietude, cherishing our time together as labor progressed. Our Christmas child came peaceably, gently, in the afternoon.

He is a special child, who does not bother keeping step with other children. He has his own ideas, his own priorities; he marches to his own drummer. He is without guile. His emotions are pure; his loyalty is priceless. His imaginings are beautiful.

Last Christmas Eve, our Christmas child temporarily became a sheep. He was wholly involved in his sheep-ness: confused, yet clearly pleased, at being seen as both himself and a sheep by those around him. On this night, from this little earnest sheep, shone forth
I do believe the face of Christ.
