The theme for the Competition is - Tell Me The Stories of Jesus. Here is my painting:

Natalie came to church the Sunday after she was baptized. She
walked in with her family and as she passed by in her pure white dress I
was drawn to the smile and peace that shone from her face. She sat in a
wooden pew a few rows in front of me and pondered the scriptures that
she laid in her lap. Although our chapel has no windows it seemed that
the sun's rays were shinning directly on her.
Natalie was adopted at birth by a family that loves her and has
taught her about Jesus Christ. Turning 8 years old she followed the
example of Jesus by being baptized. "I know when I am baptized my
wrongs are washed away, And I can be forgiven and improve myself each
day. I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain. I want
to be the best I can and live with God again." ( When I Am Baptized
verse 2 page 103 Children's Songbook)
On this day Natalie was as clean as earth right after rain. She glowed with the love of Jesus. She was a work of art.
