I wrestled with myself as to comment or not. I lost my son 3 years ago, my heart still aches every single day. I know my pain will remain raw until I draw my last breath. I commented because I saw the hands you painted, my son once told me he was thankful for his hands and the ability he had to draw whatever he set his mind to draw. He was a gifted artist, he left behind so many lovely drawings that adorn my walls. Thank you for painting hands. I pray you continue to have sweet and beautiful memories of your son.
Hey the home christ is being terrorized, the State of Israel in which the LDS church has gave millions to is committing genocide. Cut your ties with them or stop trying to evoke the name of Christ. Jesus would not approve and would not be silent
It was such a pleasure and an honor to meet Jennedy in her studio while she was painting. She put her brush down and spoke with me for almost an hour. She listened to my grief story about the deaths of 7 of my 8 siblings and my mother. She is a wonderful and faithful person. I feel very grateful for the angels God brings into our lives. She was the hands that day when I was the sparrow.
I remember as a 12 year old being neighbors with Jenedy when that tragedy happened. I got to spend some time with their family following the loss of their son, and I’ve always been so amazed by their faith in the midst of heartbreak. Such an inspiring message!

My cousin-in-law said it best when she told me that grief doesn't really go away. You just learn to live with a hole in your heart. We lost my dad to covid on Christmas Eve 2020. Six months prior, my maternal grandpa was called home after battling cancer for over a year. While we could see my grandpa's decline and had time to send him off with all our extended family, my dad getting so ill was a shock. The hospital staff wouldn't let us in to his room to hold his hand or anything. We were lucky we were even allowed on the ICU floor to see him through the glass. Grief is a daily struggle, but the tender mercies of the Lord keep us going.
I just wanted to say thank you for distributing food. We are struggling and I read on the label that it was distributed by your church. Thank you so much.
This was heaven sent for me. We just suffered a miscarriage after 12 years of infertility and I've not been taking it well. Thank you for such a meaningful message
Thank you. I've lost two sons and my wife of 53 years has just passed . . . He is always there to catch us, and remind us of where we are going. Thank you again.
Hi @mvoorheis, we're so sorry for your loss. We know comfort and healing can come through prayer and by relying on Jesus Christ at this difficult time. He loves you and can mend your heart and give you peace. www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/believe/life-has-purpose/grief?cid=42001274
I lost a little girl at birth. She would be 46 now. I know your loss and your pain. You know you will be with your son again, and your painting is so beautiful, so touching,it really affected me. I am so grateful for this reminder that our brother does catch us and is always with us. Amen 🙏🏼 ❤
Thank you for sharing. When I was 4 years old I was drowning in a lake. My mother fainted and I was drowning. A 12 year old girl on her way to school jumped in the lake and saved me. I'm 66 now. Being in the lake is my earliest memory of life and it seemed like I was slipping peacefully asleep. Words for you are superfluous, but thank you. You are an amazing artist, an inspired mother and an exemplary disciple of Christ
Only our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ can turn such horrible tragedy into immense beauty and eternal joy. They are the supreme Creators, turning chaotic darkness into beautiful, bright order.
I'm so impressed at the ability people have to give themselves to the healing light of Jesus Christ. Jenedy is a beautiful example of how to let the pain work to bring a higher good as we focus faith in Him. Jenedy, I'm so sorry for your loss but equally in awe of the healing gift, now magnified, and radiating to heal and bless others. That's the miracle!
I love the depiction of the sparrow falling into the lord's hands. Its backwards to me when in church people depict trials as if God thought the sparrow needed a lesson learned and pushed him out of the tree, ruining his life. When in reality hardship and trials happen. It's part of life. But there is a God that will catch us. Everytime. All unfairness is made fair through Christ if we will accept it.
I love this family so much. I’ve seen them grow through their grief. I have admired them and leaned on them during my grief. I am grateful to call them friends. I am grateful their story is being shared more broadly. It needs to be. It’s heartbreaking, inspiring and heartwarming, and healing.
Thank you for sharing your personal story with us. Yes, the Lord wears of what’s going on with us, individual! I am also an Artist and your art work is amazing 🤩! To me attending the temple session heals my soul and feel the love of God. I feel peace ! He loves us all 💕💕❤️😀
What an incredibly beautiful painting and beautiful sentiment. I know it’s in no way comparable to losing a child but I had to put my dog down of 15 years just a few months ago. I loved him and cared for him through diabetes and many other illnesses and I would like to think that like a fallen sparrow, our furry friends also fall into his loving hands when they pass.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful painting and your beautiful words. It’s all very spiritually touching. I’ve lost a lot of people from my life, but in February 2023 I lost my husband of 54 years of marriage. This is healing, and I shared it for those I know have lost loved ones. 😌❤
This is such a beautiful story, I really enjoy her paintings a lot and I love them all. God does everything to the people and he wants us to have an abundant life.
I heard the LDS artist Lynde Mott give her parable of the unfinished painting: she says... "In school I had the advantage of watching demonstrations of the different processes of a teacher creating a painting right before our eyes. I was so grateful to get to observe the natural process of what it really takes to create a fine masterpiece. A masterpiece is created line upon line, precept on precept; one small thing building upon another. A masterpiece is created one brush stroke at a time. This concept is precisely how our lives are. But then, there are moments during this process that it looks like a hot mess & the artist, at times, may want to throw it out lol. And this is where the teacher demonstrations came in handy, we got to observe that halfway through the process the paintings look terrible." If they were mine I would have thrown them out," Lynde says. If you're unfamiliar with the process, paintings don't look good halfway through! And this is where courage, commitment & experience come in for the artist. You must press on and continue even in the absence of success.Keep going! Keep trusting in yourself in the process. As humans we have these same moments: "this isn't working, maybe I should throw in the towel!" But we must exhibit great trust as participants in this great "art work" we call life. There are moments that we need to just let go and let God take over because he is the Master artist. He knows what the painting needs and what it's supposed to look like. He knows the end from the beginning in his mind. When you can have this kind of faith and trust you won't be worried in the middle when the painting doesn't look good. You will work through the details & problems as best you can, but you won't be worried. In the end he will make a masterpiece of our lives!"
Jenedy, that is such a tragic event! Thank you for sharing your interpretation of that scripture in your astoundingly beautiful painting. I am sure your little boy was close to you in spirit as you accomplished this project. God bless you and your family. 😊 x x x
I love this Lived story and the beautiful painting Jenedy painted. What a gift she has given us. Through it she has given us the vision to see ourselves as both the sparrow and the saving hands. She addresses the question that is so often asked, "why me" or "why did this have to happened to my loved one." She helps us to truly see that God loves us and is in the details of our lives and helping us to become.
God gives talents to teach life through them . And to glorify him . And to have compassion and teach each other through loss Thank you for sharing your testimony and your talent !
What a touching and powerful testimony of faith and resilience. Your story of loss and healing beautifully illustrates God's presence in our darkest moments. Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring others through your art.
I can't imagine what she went through! This really grieves me and I don't even know her or her son. So can you imagine what this would do to a Mother! But a creative activity like painting ,ESPECIALLY a painting intimately related to her grief, Is one of the BEST therapies there is in relationship to emotional turmoil or grief!
One more amazing thing that caught my eye in the portrait; is that part when you turn it upside down and instead of the hands holding the sparrow, they give life too. Thank you for this powerful testimony.
I was paralyzed 32 year's ago and I'm now a paraplegic in a wheelchair. I always wonder if I wouldn't have gone to work that day if I would still be in a wheelchair? It's not been an easy life since then. Some days I ask why am I being punished with the pains in my back. But I have also seen miracles in my life. I've got a beautiful wife of 45 year's and means to provide for myself and my family for the rest of my life after working for the same HVAC supplier now for 43 years.
Your tender story reminds me of our forever three little angel, Ashley. I just shared your story with my wife. December makes seven years for us. We have seen His hands in our lives, catching us. Your painting and personal story is inspired and what I needed to hear today.
Thank you so unbelievably much for sharing your sacred story and remarkable painting. My heart is touched beyond expression with it all, with your verbal and artistic expression of such tender, difficult, complex, loving and vulnerable feelings and experiences. I pray God will continue to bless you with His peace, and for being such a special tool in His hands to bring others to Him! Thanks to you and thanks be always to the Lord!!!
I am deeply deeply moved by your story and your painting. Words aren’t enough to describe it. My son left this world just about 5 years ago from out of the blue a diagnosis of ALS. Great son, spouse, dad of two small kids and a great place in his life. Wow! Your testimony and scriptures are so meaningful to me. I paint as well, but not like you. It falling into my paints and projects gets me out of my head and I find peace if only for an hour or so. I love that scraping away is a fresh place for God to build upon for my heart. I too think of his life stages he would be in now and more importantly his children’s without him and yes it hurts a lot, but I know God has me and them in his hands too.
I have been having a bad day these past two days, and I am very overwhelmed with everything in my life. I too have lost a lot of good people in my life being a vet. The last one was my Father, and grandfather. Even though my father was not their, I was able to rekindle that relationship with them. I feel so bad about not having that chapter with them, or when I lost my friends because of war, I wish there was something I could tell them in the end. Why did they have to go and not me? Then I keep hearing these stories, they tell me they had to go to fulfill their life, and I needed to stay here to better my life. I am thankful for all of them, and you for sharing your story. I struggle each day, some days are better than others, but I still have my best friend, my wife next to me and my son. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Thank you for painting this. It reminds me that God cares about every living creature-- including animals-- as I am reminded when I look at the sparrow. I appreciate you and your son so much.
So beautiful ❤ I’m incredibly sorry for the loss of your little boy. I’m sure glad I came across your video and got to see the beautiful painting you did. Thank you so much for sharing this ♥️
I’m trying not to cry because my son is next to me and it would make him sad with him being so little but this entire video was absolutely incredible. I can not… imagine what you and your family went through. Your faith and your perspective is awe inspiring. I love the way you explained the process of your grief and your paintings belong in a museum. Those hands look 3D to me. I can definitely understand you saying my skill level needed to be at a certain point, well his Glory shines through your hands 🤍🕊️
My grandpa died last year after fighting cancer twice, and I just want to say how beautiful this painting and the testimony of the artist is. To anyone experiencing grief from loss I just want to say god understands your pain and will help you through it.
What a perfect way to share the message of healing and faith and hope in Christ. Thank you for providing a window into the beauty of your difficult journey.
I needed this video. Although I didn't lose a son I can relate living in grief and regret wishing to go back! Nobody knows what that pain is like! As the years go by and the memories still haunt you when you want to forget! Only God I guess is the only person who understands and can get you through to the next day.
Thank you so much for sharing point. I hope one day in another dozen years you’re able to make a painting showing Christ holding that sparrow as it flies off into joy
What a beautifuessage. Im a 4 th cousin to Joseph Smith. When myself 3yr old fsuhhter was sick with cancer she had many"visits from 5 generations back of family members.after she passed it took 25yrs to realize she was myself living testimony that haven is real. That Jesus was real. We have a loving Heavenly father. I know she's one of my guardian angels. We will be with them again.🙏😇❤
Needed to hear this today. I work with the youth and I feel this so powerfully trying to help them find their way. I'm so sorry you lost your son. This piece is going to mean so much to so many.
I just lost my son in march. Thank you for sharing your story the pairing is beautiful I hope to get to that point some day. I know god is the first step .

As an artist I can appreciate this story so very much. I let the Lord guide me with my art also. This is a beautiful story and a beautiful piece of artwork and I can see the Lord's hand in it. Thank you so very much for sharing your painting and skill as well as your story. All glory to god, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Amen
I love that she has that personal relation and connection to the Lord’s lesson using the sparrow. What many don’t know was something Truman Madsen shared about this. He said that sparrows were a much-hated species back in the time of Christ’s ministry. They were an undesirable infestation that people would gladly kill because of the damage they’d do to crops, fishing, and property, etc. He said the Lord was trying to teach us that even something that hated and considered insignificant by man was never so to the Father; who wouldn’t hesitate to notice us, love us, and when needed, rescue us. Such a powerful lesson about how much we truly matter to our Father and His Son. ❤🙏🏻

I have been afflicted with much pain of my past which has been taking a toll on my mental health, but thanks to your testimony and your story, I am no longer hurt or harrowed up by the pains of my past. Thank you for reminding me that God has caught me when I have fallen.❤❤🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing your painting and story with us jenedy!! It really touched my heart and i could relate to your situation and the difficulties of trusting god, i needed to hear this ❤
I watched this video a few times when it came out because so many people were sharing it. I was moved by her story and her strength and her talent. I couldn't imagine dealing with that kind of grief. Five days later, my brother-in-law took his own life. Our family was shattered in that moment, but I immediately imagined him a sparrow being caught in the Lord's "capable hands". The imagery of this work of art buoyed me through the following days as our family came together to grieve. I was able to be the hands to catch them because He had already caught me.

Hey the home christ is being terrorized, the State of Israel in which the LDS church has gave millions to is committing genocide. Cut your ties with them or stop trying to evoke the name of Christ. Jesus would not approve and would not be silent
It was such a pleasure and an honor to meet Jennedy in her studio while she was painting. She put her brush down and spoke with me for almost an hour. She listened to my grief story about the deaths of 7 of my 8 siblings and my mother. She is a wonderful and faithful person. I feel very grateful for the angels God brings into our lives.

I couldn't have gotten through it without the friendship of your sweet mother.

So so sorry 💔
I don't know you. But, I've prayed for you. I'm sorry for your heartbreak.
I’m sorry for your loss. It’s a heavy burden, I’m sure. I pray you feel the Grace of Christ bear you up beneath the load.
Thank you. I've lost two sons and my wife of 53 years has just passed . . . He is always there to catch us, and remind us of where we are going. Thank you again.

Sorry ❤
Thank you for sharing.
When I was 4 years old I was drowning in a lake. My mother fainted and I was drowning. A 12 year old girl on her way to school jumped in the lake and saved me. I'm 66 now.
Being in the lake is my earliest memory of life and it seemed like I was slipping peacefully asleep.
Words for you are superfluous, but thank you. You are an amazing artist, an inspired mother and an exemplary disciple of Christ

Thank you ❤❤ you are so talented!
this is beautiful--thank you so much. I've had loss, but also a great deal of trauma, and you reminded me, that He caught me, too 💝
God gives talents to teach life through them . And to glorify him . And to have compassion and teach each other through loss Thank you for sharing your testimony and your talent !
What a touching and powerful testimony of faith and resilience. Your story of loss and healing beautifully illustrates God's presence in our darkest moments. Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring others through your art.

Faith in GOD looks like when you are not putting your trust in the earthly Flesh, Bones and Money, and that's a beautiful painting.
Wow!!! Beautiful painting!!! Beautiful story. Thank you for this. I love the analogy of God catching us.
Thank you so much!
My daughter died in 2020 at 10 months old. Lots of love and hugs for you.
Jesus knows our infinite value.
So beautiful ❤ I’m incredibly sorry for the loss of your little boy. I’m sure glad I came across your video and got to see the beautiful painting you did. Thank you so much for sharing this ♥️
Thank you for sharing! I seriously needed this today. I am so grateful that this popped up on TH-cam for me today.
So glad to hear this video could help you!
Beautiful in every way ❤
I’m sorry for your loss, Jenedy. 😢 Thank you for sharing how you have found comfort, hope and healing as you turned to Jesus. ❤️
Thank you. Your painting speaks volumes, and it truly is inspiring.
I’m trying not to cry because my son is next to me and it would make him sad with him being so little but this entire video was absolutely incredible. I can not… imagine what you and your family went through. Your faith and your perspective is awe inspiring. I love the way you explained the process of your grief and your paintings belong in a museum. Those hands look 3D to me. I can definitely understand you saying my skill level needed to be at a certain point, well his Glory shines through your hands 🤍🕊️
Thank you thank you thank you😊

This is a beautiful video to match the beauty of the story, the testimony and the painting.
Thank you for sharing your art, your heart and your testimony of our Savior.
My grandpa died last year after fighting cancer twice, and I just want to say how beautiful this painting and the testimony of the artist is. To anyone experiencing grief from loss I just want to say god understands your pain and will help you through it.
What a perfect way to share the message of healing and faith and hope in Christ. Thank you for providing a window into the beauty of your difficult journey.

I have always loved those verses in Matthew. This art and your story were exactly what I needed to hear today.❤
simply breathtaking
This is so beautiful!! Thank you for sharing !! ❤
I needed this video. Although I didn't lose a son I can relate living in grief and regret wishing to go back! Nobody knows what that pain is like! As the years go by and the memories still haunt you when you want to forget! Only God I guess is the only person who understands and can get you through to the next day.
Your painting is absolutely breathtaking just like your testimony. I wish there could be prints of this painting made it is so rich in symbolism.
There are. I looked up her name after watching this and found this print available.
This was cery beautiful thank you fro sharing your story with me.

Thanks for sharing!
I love that she has that personal relation and connection to the Lord’s lesson using the sparrow. What many don’t know was something Truman Madsen shared about this. He said that sparrows were a much-hated species back in the time of Christ’s ministry. They were an undesirable infestation that people would gladly kill because of the damage they’d do to crops, fishing, and property, etc. He said the Lord was trying to teach us that even something that hated and considered insignificant by man was never so to the Father; who wouldn’t hesitate to notice us, love us, and when needed, rescue us. Such a powerful lesson about how much we truly matter to our Father and His Son. ❤🙏🏻
Do you know where the talk is about the sparrows? I would love to read it. Thank you for sharing this. ☺️
Thank you sharing that. ❤
Incredibly moving and powerful. Thank you for sharing your journey. Your work is beautiful.❤
Thank you for sharing. I feel like I'm still falling after my son's death and the years of heartache before and after.
I had my Moms funeral today. This is a great, healing message.

Amazing Jenedy!! Those hands look like a heart to me. Thank you for your touching example!!!
I have been afflicted with much pain of my past which has been taking a toll on my mental health, but thanks to your testimony and your story, I am no longer hurt or harrowed up by the pains of my past. Thank you for reminding me that God has caught me when I have fallen.❤❤🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing your painting and story with us jenedy!! It really touched my heart and i could relate to your situation and the difficulties of trusting god, i needed to hear this ❤
I’ve lost my dad, my brother, my niece and a nephew. I know I will see them again.
Thank you Jenedy. Thank you
I watched this video a few times when it came out because so many people were sharing it. I was moved by her story and her strength and her talent. I couldn't imagine dealing with that kind of grief. Five days later, my brother-in-law took his own life. Our family was shattered in that moment, but I immediately imagined him a sparrow being caught in the Lord's "capable hands". The imagery of this work of art buoyed me through the following days as our family came together to grieve. I was able to be the hands to catch them because He had already caught me.
Wow! 😍❤💝🙏
