The Good Advice & Responding from Mrs. Darlene Sorensen from USA-- Sep 26, 2013

The more longer I stay in Springfield, MO, USA, the more Christians I meet, the more I am touched by what they have done for me.

I did never think, on the day I offered a free demonstration for more than 30 local artists in Ava Art Guild, except I got a Letter of Thanks in the frame and a gift from the Ava Art Guild, Douglas County, MO, USA, Mrs. Darlene Sorensen, a local architect and her daughter took a beautiful bag with some gifts for me. :-)

Can you imagine what they took for me? Until today, I just had time to check them one by one:

-- A apron for me to work in the kitchen or I paint;
-- Two pads for me to carry something hot in the kitchen;
-- 12 little books that her husband wrote for the Christians;
-- A lady's companion for my travel;
-- A pen;
-- A photo of the Church she goes;
-- A card with kind words on it;
-- A little thing I have not know what it is yet... :-)

Wow! When I got her beautiful bag, just I returned her my own book and album of paintings. I did not really realized there were so many kind and considerate gifts in it.

I cannot really express my so much appreciation to Mrs. Darlene Sorensen, and I have felt her so much sincerity and local people's wonderful folkway.

Meanwhile, I have seen the meaning of my work and creation.

I would really like to cherish my luck and to return so many good American friends and this world.

Now, I would like to share a part of the letter from Mrs. Darlene Sorensen and I really hope it will bring you a big smile and some thinking.

Shirley,

So good to hear from you!   You keep a very busy schedule.   I love and enjoy your web site.   You have everything so organized.   I did not see any place that you offered any of your paintings for sale or your book and DVD.   Have you gotten any of your original paintings printed in limited edition prints?   Your web site would be a perfect place to sell and promote your sales if that is something you are interested in.

My daughter, Sally, and I really enjoyed the class you so kindly taught at our Ava Art Guild.   It was a blessing to have you here.   We will cherish what we learned and continue to build upon it.   

Many years ago I went to God, repented of my sins, accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour, and asked Him to be the Lord of my life,.   That was the greatest decision I have ever made.   I have a personal relationship with God and He fills my life with joy, hope, peace, and love.   Of all the things you will find in America, I pray it will be a personal relationship with the God who made you, loves you, and has wonderful plans for your life.   Maybe you already have this relationship with Him.   I would love to hear about that too!

I know you are very busy and I hope you will keep in touch and we can converse further.

In His Care,
Darlene Sorensen
