The Window Shows It All
When I first started blogging I had no idea what my focus would be. Unlike Chelsey, our standard poodle, who had her focus on keeping us safe from the outside world. That’s why I named the blog The Window Shows it All. I later decided sharing my holy card collection would be my goal and that’s why my computer address is not Holy Cards for Inspiration.

What a wonderful depiction of Christ! It is not too often that you see him pictured in such a full blown smile. It made me smile just looking at him. Great reminder about joy. No one will believe we love Christ if we walk around sour. Thanks Micki!

I LOVE the laughing Jesus pictures. Too bad they are so hard to find!
I should find one for my son's bedroom. What a great image of Christ to grow up with.
Stephanie - Thought you'd appreciate this quote...."From silly devotions and sour-faced saints, good Lord, deliver us!" -- St. Teresa of Avila
Ginny - Sounds like a good idea. He could learn about JOY with that face of Jesus....then the message of joy (Jesus, Others, Yourself)
Great quote, Micki! Thanks for taking the time to share it with me. Stephanie
This is such a great reminder of how to be Christ-like by sharing the joy that he brings. I've been searching the internet for a place to buy this picture, but am having a hard time. What is the name of the artist?
Would also love to buy a larger print of this picture for my father! Any ideas?
I think this holy card was made from a section of a huge painting. It is a glossy holy card and the writing is very blurred....can't make out any name. I have never seen it available as a hanging picture so can't offer much help.
