Witness the Work of God's Hands
As Julie and her teenage daughter drove west toward a beautiful Oregon sunset, they were instantly taken by the work of God's hands. "God is a really good artist... If only God would let us have jobs like that," they said. They mused about wanting the job of painting the sky. The next morning, Julie awoke and began writing Could I Paint the Sky?
Seek to Serve
The story centers around a little girl named Madeline Judith, who wants to work for God. She asks God if she could paint the sky for him. When God says "no," she realizes that there are special jobs for each of us to do. While they might not be great big jobs "like moving mountains or painting the sky," what's important is that God knows we are willing to help.
