Fine Work



People always comment on Marissa's energy level.
We're used to it. In fact, I often praise God for the energy "in abundance" that He gave to her. One of the great things about her reserves of power, however, is that she can sit and focus at any time. She doesn't just go and go and go and go.
The photos show a picture that Marissa spent about a month working on. She kept it out on the table in the family room and when she felt like coloring on it, she worked until she wanted to play with something else, but always came back to it without being told to finish it. She wanted to focus on making it very pretty - down to color choices and skill. Marissa made the picture for Daddy to take to work and hang in his office.
I don't know who is most proud of the work...Marissa or Daddy.
But, I warn you. Don't go to Daddy's office at work and not expect to be shown the picture...and you'd better tell him it's very well done.
