I started taking a colored pencil class hoping to learn some new techniques and work on my patience. My first exercise was doing this pear. I will have to say it took me 3 hours working on this project I really enjoyed it. It helped me to relax and slow down.

This bruised pear is a reminder of when we are bruised, hurt, and brokenhearted God is our source of hope and courage.

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18

we often wish we can escape troubles- the path of grief, loss,sorrow, and failure, or even the small daily frustrations that constantly wear us down. God promises to be our source of power, courage, and wisdom, helping us through our problems. Admit you need God’s help and thank him for being by your side.
