When I decide on something to paint, I don't always have a reason before I paint it. Sometimes the reason is revealed after it is painted, as was in this case. I learned that the cardinal symbolizes life, hope, and restoration. My thoughts went straight to Houston and the victims of Hurricane Harvey. The cardinal is a great reminder, that even in the bleakest circumstances, there is always hope in Christ. "You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word". Psalm 119:114
