When I saw the 'sneak peek' for Sunday Postcard Art's next challenge - 'Wish List' my thoughts turned to the 29 coal miners trapped in the Pike River mine in New Zealand's South Island. At the top of my 'Wish List' is that they will soon be rescued. 'Home' is the next challenge for Take A Word so I decided to combine the two challenges and hope that the miners will soon be 'Home' with their loved ones. As I write rescue attempts are thwarted by the high readings of hazardous gases in the mine and it is nearly 4 days since the explosion, everyone is praying for a successful outcome.

Judy what a beautiful and touching piece of art!
ReplyDeleteGod willing they will all be rescued and home safe and sound as soon as possible.
Jayne :-)
This is a wonderful and powerful piece Judy! I have been following the news on this since it happened. I pray all are rescued safely, and soon.
ReplyDeleteTouching and powerful. Serious moments remind me that life is not always "funny".
ReplyDeletethanks for reminding me.
Judy wow I´ve missed my words.
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful hope for the mens. I will pray for them. Thanks for this wonderful hope.
Judy, this has to be your very best artpiece so far. It is touching, gut-wrenching and terribly sad but it also has great strength. The world has been following the tragic story with hope but it seems there is now little chance that the miners have survived.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how much this piece has affected me.
This is so powerful, words are just not adequate to comment on this. It really made me stop and think x
ReplyDeleteSo sorry the miners did not come home to their loved ones but now are at home with God.
ReplyDeleteTremendously, no words needed! What an emotion!
ReplyDeleteThx Claudia
