Once, while traveling throughout Central America, I came across a small wooden wall cabinet with doors.
It is a little version of life-sized stands often seen along roadsides in other countries.
It may have been in Costa Rica that it was purchased but I'm not completely sure.
More than 40 years and many moves have gone by since I bought it.
A tiny statue of the Blessed Virgin, Mary of Guadalupe, stands inside.
I keep the little grotto-type cabinet on a wall in my home office.
It's comforting for me to look at it.
The Blessed Mother has been a huge influence in my life, thanks to the faithful examples of my Mother and both Grandmothers.
The Mother of Christ is so powerful and filled with pure, never ending love.
My Mom and Grandmas are in her presence now, in the other realm of life.
It's so wonderful to feel their love in my heart at all times and I look forward to the reunion we will have one day.
In the meantime, each day, I place all my loved ones in her gentle, tender care.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FUN ON THE DOCKET FOR TODAY?
