I guess this means I'll have to go to Paris in 2009........PRAYER TO SAINT GENEVIEVE................Loving Saint Genevieve, fair patron saint of Paris, lead us in your path of courage and valor.

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 fascinating quotation ... I guess as a mom, I do that pretty regularly! :)
What a consoling and beautiful holy card. Thankyou, Micki.

What a wonderful and rewarding thing to do this is. That everyone would practice this more. Yes, as moms we do this every day, the point being we should all do it even if we aren't moms.
I love these old black and white holy cards with the lace border. This card is particularly touching.
As the previous comments left, we should incorporate this act of charity everday. Yes, the world would be so much better if this were practised in the true sense of word. To many people today, are so busy and caught up in themselves they miss many opportunities to be a blessing to others. Or they say, what is in it for me? How sad!! May we all learn to bring the healing and gently touch of Jesus to the lives of others even if at times it is inconvient. A blessed weekend to all! Thank you Micki for sharing this "treasure."

Ginny - Wrong.....you get paid for that job.......in hugs and kisses from those sweet urchins :-)
Diane S. - Your welcome. Consolation is always so welcomed..nice that it can come through art.
Anonymous - I think another word for "moms" in this vein might be brothers, sisters, moms, dads, friends, neighbors....doesn't matter.....as long as we "do" for someone.
John K. - Glad you like the "oldies"... I'm partial to them also.
Yes, "daily charity" is what it's all about. Thanks.
