Turn Towards the Son

“A sunflower ‘arises’ and grows taller than most other flowers. When it feels the heat from the sky, it turns toward the sun and completely opens itself to the sun’s rays.

“In this painting, the sunflower symbolizes us when we recognize the Light of Christ and are turned continually in His direction. We should be like the sunflower and grow, arise, and use God’s light to shine bright unto the rest of the world.

“The Light of Christ helps us be our best, rise above the world, and blossom so all the earth can see where true beauty comes from.”
