Two Pictures, One Message

This past Monday, I had the opportunity to visit my mother for a fun lunch and an afternoon of shopping - just the two of us.  She lives around an hour away, so this was a quite a treat!  After a yummy lunch at Travinia's we hit the shops.  One store we visited was a favorite kitchen shop, Mary and Martha's.  There, I was able to make some wonderful purchases, including this beautiful and inspirational canvas I have hung over the double doors to the pantry that holds our food and other kitchen necessities.

That was going to be the end of my blog were it not for another piece of art I saw today:  a photograph that conveyed yet another message of God's greatness and goodness.  Kiki was pulled out alive from the rubble in Haiti after almost eight days.  Reaching out for him is his mother.

For God IS Great and God IS Good!

  8. That was an amazing moment. I can't stop thinking about Haiti - especially the many orphans making their way to the U.S. and other countries. May God hold them in the palm of His hand.

    The plaque is great, too. Don't you love lunch and shopping with your mom? So fun!

  10. I love that pic...and your new wall hanging. I bet it looks adorable over the pantry doors--what a great place for it! My Bible Study friends told me of another pic they saw of a cross amidst the rubble and Haiti. I would love to see and to put it on my blog but can't locate it.

  11. I am so glad that you found my blog and left a comment. I adore your blog already and have spent too much time sitting here getting to know you.

    Great minds think alike I guess. This photo is truly a piece of art and I get teary eyed every time I look at it.

    I love your canvas and might need to pop in to Mary and Martha's to see if my family can't copy yours. :)
