I like to believe she is in heaven, beautifying it along with other artists as God enables and guides. My heartfelt thanks to God and to her along with other family members, who have inspired and encouraged my own (limited) artistic efforts.
For my second post on Hannah’s works I have gone way back to her kindergarten days when she was aged four or five. 今回のポーストのためにハンナの幼稚園の作品を見せたいです。ハンナは四歳か五歳でした。
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 19:14 in the Authorised Version or King James Version)
Our dear daughter, Hannah, passed away on Saturday 20th July. Although we miss her so badly, we remember that our loss is heaven’s gain. These works Hannah prepared for use in our church’s publicity.

In the final book of the Bible, the Revelation, the Holy City is described thus:
“The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendour into it. On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. The glory and honour of the nations will be brought into it.” (Revelation 21:23-26, NIV)
Those of us who are considered worthy to take part in the age to come may be kept happily busy creating music, art, poetry, and so on for God’s glory. For example, Handel’s ‘Messiah’ will be carried into heaven and played there. Angels as well as kings will stand! This is my imagination, but for God’s pleasure a place will be found even for Hannah’s works. She may be drawing a picture now!
