"Let us run to Mary,
and, as her little children,
cast ourselves into her arms
with a perfect confidence."

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.

Beautiful, Micki! Thank you so much. I love the quote from St. Francis~JMJ~Lisa S.
I find myself in that crowd around Mary so often. Thank God for her, and thank God for you, Micki, that you share such beautiful treasures with us. Please, could I offer the website www.comepraytherosary.org
I find it so helpful and your followers might as well. Thank you.
A lovely card! Thank you Micki. May Our Lady always keep you and your family under Her mantle.

Diane - I think all the children are like a box of crayons also, all different yet all for the same purpose, to love God.
Lisa S. - Some of these quotes were so perfect for some of the cards. Thanks.
Anonymous - A wonderful way to pray the rosary on the internet. I added it to my side-bar Links. Thanks.
Ceci - Thank you for that blessing and please, there is room for you there too :-)
I have this picture from a calendar I bought years ago. It is painted by a group of religious in Canada. All of their paintings are breathtaking! Thank God for the gift that He has given them to paint the beauty that speaks to the soul. I love the commet by "anonymous,' "I find myself in that crowd around Mary so often." That is simply a beautiful image to contemplate. Each of us are most fortunate to have been given such a Wonderful Mother in Heaven to intercede for us! It is my prayer each day that she will gently hold my hand, never letting go of it until I have safely reached the port of Heaven, their to Praise her Divine Son Jesus!!
Thank you Micki for your kind words and prayers, they are most appreciated and helpful. John K.
John K. - Yes, the same religious organization that made the calendar had a shop in Quebec. We spent some time in their store and I was able to find this in a holy card. I love the colors and all the nationalities of the different children.
I will also pray that she holds all our hands. We certainly are blessed with her love also.
Friends,
The Latin words in Our Lady's halo mean, "Mother of All Nations [or Peoples]."
John
