Justin Smith created this piece and said, “Every morning, I sit and have a devotional, and this is similar to a painting I look at during my quiet time. I was inspired to do it because I always thought I could paint something similar, and it means a lot to me because, during those quiet mornings, I often pray for Mila. She is our miracle with Myhre and the heartbeat of our family. She is 8 years old and the mightiest, most brave and outgoing girl we have ever known. Her smile brightens the room, her confidence attracts everyone to her, and she attacks everything with bravery and poise. Because of her, we have learned to worship our Lord Jesus in the peaks and valleys, through the graves and gardens. That's why we bought the painting in the first place. For Mila.”
