The question has been in every conversation for the past few weeks. What to get our sweet Hannah for her birthday? Officially turning into a teenager tends to make the gift portion of a birthday a little challenging. No more cute little pink dresses or barbie dolls, being a teenager changes everything and your thoughts have to shift in that direction.
We discussed her love language and what really, really mattered to her, and finally settled on a gift.
The gift of our time.
Our plan was to take her out to dinner, so steak (her love language) at Logan’s was our first stop.
Then we moved our party to the main street in Weatherford to Painting with a Twist.
We spent the next couple of hours painting one of Hannah’s favorite things, an anchor.
The class took us step by step through this painting.
We had a couple of breaks allowing for drying time, and some photo shots of the birthday girl.
We painted, and talked, and laughed and of course I took pictures. Sometimes we worked in silence, concentrating on fine lines and steady brush strokes.
With determination we continued on until our paintings were complete.
Hannah’s painting.
Happy Birthday to our precious Hannah! I pray that Jesus will always be the anchor of your soul, your constant hope and strength, both sure and steadfast. We love you.
so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 6:18-20
I just love the things you girls do for your family. shes such a beautiful young lady.
She surely is 🙂 maybe we could all go paint the next time you are here ❤
