Today, our three year old granddaughter , Rory, was playing at our house for a little while. I still have a few things propped up against the wood stove, waiting for me to put them back up. One is a special gift that my nephew, Derek, made for me when my mother passed away. My mother was deaf, and she always signed the well known "I Love You" to everyone. The gift from my nephew, is a sketch of the Savior's hand, signing "I Love You". The wound from the nail in His palm is visible. I love this because it says SOOO MUCH that is not seen. I noticed Rory kneeling by this sketch, and doing the I love you sign herself...comparing her own hand to the Savior's. I grabbed my camera quickly, and got this shot that I will always treasure.
We talked about how Jesus loves us, and died for us, and that we love him too.
"Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me."
Isaiah 49:16

I recently lost my mother too, so I find it ironic that I stumbled across your blog on the day that this is your post. I love your photo and I adore the story that goes with it. I look forward to seeing more of your pictures and following your 365 journey.
That is sweet :-)
