Sometimes they painted their feelings.
She and Gran called it ＂painting prayers.＂

Gran’s art studio is one of Wren’s favorite places in the world. Not only is it where Wren and Gran paint, but it’s also where they talk about all the good and hard stuff of life--to each other, and to God. Join young Wren as she explores her feelings and discovers that God welcomes our honest prayers.
