Twelve Days of Mary Love

DAY 6

The Many Faces of Mary

pastel

Each day brought her closer to heartbreak

Each day her expression would change

Sorrow and fear coming to the surface

Anguish and denial

Hate and Anger surrounding her

Grief just around the corner

Yet her love would show through

Even as her heart shattered

May we all feel the love of Mary

and fill our days with her gentleness

Let our hearts overflow with kindness

for each person we meet

Linked with love to the powerful

thoughts and writings in

REBECCA'S ROOM

Join us and feel the love

As you leave here

take with you a piece of

Mary Love

and spread it to the world

Mornings With Mary - Special Treasure

In my never-ending quest for treasures, I have scored again!

Last Friday I found this small tapestry at a church thrift store.

Not having a religious upbringing, my interest in Mary is more of a huge appreciation than a dedicated love

and as soon as I picked her up she "told me" where she wanted to go.

 

 

She will go to a home where I know she will receive more love than I would ever be able to give.

When I went to the counter and plopped down my three bucks (yes 3!) the little church lady asked if I would be putting it on the floor as a rug.

What?  Walk all over these lovely faces?

Never!

It's even too small for a rug.  It's coffee table size.

Or wall hanging size.  Not floor.

 

I'm sure this must be a painting hanging in a museum somewhere but I am not familiar enough with it to know.

If you do please tell me, I'd love to know.

It looks as if it has been very gently loved over a number of years.

I am confident that love will continue in her new home.

Goodbye and be well Mary. 

I will continue to love and admire you in my own small way.
