Perfectly portrayed and imaged. The Lord Himself is beaming down at you for this exquisitely crafted depiction. Blessings, Gershon

Thank you SO much, my good friend, this means a lot to me ... this was a tough write, believe-it-or-not, to walk the line between personification and not taking away from the power of the event and what it meant. Blessings!
