Very interesting thing happened today at work. I work at a facility for persons with developmental disabilities. A staff member who has a very deep faith and has worked at the facility for years was starting her day with those she cares for. As she was sitting in the dining room looking at the windows, which had recently been painted a festive “beach” scene, she began her usual internal prayer, to the Blessed Virgin Mary for strength for the day.
As she looked at the painted beach ball on the window she discovered it was more than the ususal beach ball. In the middle of the ball, just the way the paint was applied, revealed an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary. As she quietly asked people to look at the beachball to see if they saw anything unusual? One by one, many people saw the same image. It was quite a pleasant focus for the day. Sometimes I guess we just have to stop and look around, and apparently not very far, to get messages of hope.

Teresa thank you for sharing the wonderful story.

Hug Sherri
