Follow the Light

Hi there.
I have liked lighthouses since I read a talk by President Monson (LDS church) about the light of Christ. It is meant for the youth. The original talk was given in October 1990. In it he said: "The lighthouse of the Lord sends forth signals readily recognized and never failing."

At the time I was going through my own pains of infertility, my son hadn't been born yet. It wasn't until years later that I read it, at a time when I was looking for a symbol to give to my boy, something that would make him want to stay close to the Lord. So I painted with acrylic paint on his bedroom wall a light house, big, tall, surrounded by the sea.
I wanted to make something similar for today's freebie. I found a copyright free picture, put a look of tapestry on it, added the phrase and some brushes. Here it is, and remember it's for Personal Use only.
Let me know what you think. Thanks.
Patricia.
