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 an endearing holy card and that quote from St. John Vianney--the truth so succinctly said! Thankyou as always, Micki, for sharing.
d.s.
Oh, this card is so pretty, Micki, and the quote is wonderful too. Simple, clear, true - enough said!
Best Regards, Lynneda
D.S. - As always DS, I appreciate your comments.
Lynneda - Thank you for being so good to always feel comfortable in leaving comments.
Hello dear Micki!
I just love that picture of baby Jesus sleeping, though not truly sleeping, for in that picture he invites us to come to him. I find that interesting. Maybe it is we who think that he is asleep at times and that he doesn't seem to hear us, when in fact, Jesus is ever constant in his invitation to have us all come to him.
Hmmmm... fascinating!
Thanks dear Micki! Love you!
I love the holy card's picture. Do you know of a picture of child Jesus sweeping out the heart? I saw it when Wendy Wright spoke at a retreat, and I've always wanted a copy! Please let me know if you know of this lovely image.
Easter - You make me want to come running right now. Thanks.
Jan - I sent you an email, hope you get it.
Ha ha ha... Micki, you are so cute and funny! Thank you. I do come back to read all your comments. I am very grateful; I am sure the others are too! :-)
Hugs,
Easter:-)
Like we don't have enough time...now we have to come back and keep reading. I love it. :-))
