The Allure of Thomas Kinkade

Recently, there was an article about Thomas Kinkade in the Monterey County Weekly....quite a lengthy one, I might add. (Link to Article HERE). It delved into the approach that Thomas takes with portraying life in this world as he sees it. Some protest his views, and offer opinions about his style, but most find his work adoring and inspirational.
Thomas Kinkade has recently heard of the work that is being done in and through The Bridge, and he himself has been inspired by the changed lives and the effects that those lives have on friends, family, and the community at large. And so, Thomas has taken to portraying life at The Bridge, and the "House of Hope" that it affords to those being touched daily through it.
I'm one to remind people that there is nothing that goes on that our Heavenly Father is not completely aware of. Nothing happens in our lives that has not already passed by the desk of an Omnipotent God that He has already approved for our benefit. Our Father has richly blessed us with everything needed to proclaim His love for us. He cares about our safety and security, and wants us to shout it from the rooftops that others might know. Throughout the Old Testament, it was pretty apparent who God's people were, even through their trials. My prayer is that The Bridge continue to be a reflection of how Our Heavenly Father loves us enough not to leave us where He finds us, but to draw us closer to Him.
Thomas Kinkade is know as being the 'Painter of Light'...Jesus said 'I am the Light of the World..' Thank you Thom for being an instrument of the Almighty!
