One of the delights of my heart is when my son says, "Mommy, can we go to your studio and make art?" When he says that I am willing to drop pretty much anything and head downstairs. His latest venture is making buttons with oven-bake clay which he then glazes with nail polish. And they are beautiful. I've already sewn one onto a scarf and am receiving daily compliments.
And I am so proud of him. He has a plan to sell his buttons at Penn State's Earth Fest in April for $1.00 each and he has decided to donate half of his profits to an organization that is working to conserve Wolf Creek, which runs behind our house all the way to Slippery Rock, PA. If it goes well, he says, the next step will be to start a website or possibly an Etsy store called ww.kellansbuttons.com. Not sure where the other 'w' went, but nevermind.
We have been praying for years that our son will develop a sense something greater than himself and a passion for positive change in the world. Now my prayer is becoming one of thankfulness for evidence of God's answer to that prayer. To God be all glory and honor and praise.
"But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the
air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach
you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of all these does not
know that the hand of the LORD has done this? In his hand is the life of
every creature and the breath of all mankind."
-Book of Job 12:7-10
