Enjoy the People
The quote in this piece is done in black in the Chancery Cursive style. The embellishment of the ascenders and descenders, and the variation of colors in the background represent the changes that children go through to become adults. The background is filled with Scriptures in a handwriting style, that show how children should follow the truth of God's Word.
Behind the Art
Good friends of ours had this piece commissioned for their daughter at her high school graduation. I appreciate the emphasis of enjoying our grown children at this stage in their lives, no matter their various challenges or struggles. Certainly, raising children is no easy job, but our Lord faithfully helps us with this responsility and with our interaction with them as adults.

Supporting Bible verses:
II Timothy 3:14-17 - But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
III John 1:4 - I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
