I love painting these portraits for @hollychollon ! What a special day for a baptism. #Repost @hollychollon with @get_repost ・・・ My dear friend @sarah_robins_powell painted this precious portrait of Clementine to celebrate her baptism which was this morning. 🧡 The blessing Charlton wrote: Clementine Louise, you’re mother and I are so thankful the Lord has blessed us with you. Your name means “merciful warrior,” and our prayer for you comes from Micah 6:8: “... and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” Clemmie, we pray that early in your life God would call you to himself and that you would always walk humbly with him in ever increasing intimacy.  And as Clementine Churchill stood with her husband against the evil and injustice of her day, we pray that Christ would enable you to courageously yet compassionately pursue justice heeding the call of God in Isaiah to “loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free” (Isaiah 58:6). We love you our little merciful warrior! Amen. 🧡
