ART & INSPIRATION BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER

181 days have passed since Paul entered heaven. During these past days I’ve been sorting through his many pieces of art. Paul loved nature. In fact, I learned how to determine a white pine out of all the other pine trees from him. He also taught me the little things to observe in life. A colony of ants for example. These tiny creatures work so hard at building and gathering food. They move from place to place so swiftly that it seems the world will never catch up with them. Though they were persistent and determined, their habitat could be washed away in an instant by a deluge of rain. He showed me the difference in the wingspan of an eagle and how those massive wings would soar straight out to the side, like a plane ascending into the clouds. He also taught me how God is with us through our daily walk. He never leaves us. He is available 24/7. He is totally accessible. He never changes, though everything around us seems to be in chaos.

The beautiful little watercolor of a heron sitting on a stump is one of those little things that Paul was completely aware of. I thank God for putting him into my life for so long. I was blessed beyond words, and I am glad to be able to share his art, so you can see not only what a wonderful artist he was, but also a servant of God.

1 Chronicles 29:11 “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.”
