We sincerely thank Douglas and Lorie McDermott of the for donating the beautiful artwork “The Lord Has a Better Way” to be presented to a veteran at the 3rd Annual Pacific Island Veterans Day Dinner on November 7. Their foundation honors those who defend liberty, our country, our people, and God by gifting inspirational paintings that bring hope and encouragement.

This painting portrays the prophet Elijah at his lowest moment, alone, weary, and ready to give up after standing against hundreds of false prophets. In his despair, the Lord met him not with judgment but with gentle care and renewed purpose, reminding us that even in our darkest hours, He has a better way.

We are truly grateful for this meaningful and inspiring gift. Find out more by visiting www.giftofgratitude.com.
