If you’ve followed the blog for very long you know my love of St. Maarten, her land, her people, and #onelove. I have to share another story with you about #onelove. I hope it will touch your heart as it did mine.
There is a beautiful lady on the island who paints from her heart. Every piece she posts goes straight to my heart. You can feel the love she pours into every single one. They each speak to me in different ways. A couple of weeks ago we were talking about one piece in particular and I noted I would love to hang it in my apartment. Sadly, she told me the piece was already taken. What she didn’t tell me was that she went home and painted an entirely new piece just for me.
She presented this piece to me last night with the following inscription. It is painted on reclaimed wood from Irma. There are literally no words I can formulate to describe how much this touched my heart. Now tears of love flow from my eyes as God reminds me again that I am home. Claudette Alexander, I love you. I will treasure this for the rest of my life. Thank you.
