“Because we’re all recovering from something.”
I have reblogged posts by Beauty Beyond Bones, BBB, before.
Here is why:
And I was sitting in my little chair, looking at the painting, letting Jesus’ face make an impression on me, when my mom came in and sat next to me.
“You know the story behind this painting, right?”
And, truthfully, I didn’t. I know we got it a long time ago, but I just figured my mom’s bible study class gifted it to her as an end-of-year teacher gift.
BBB’s full post is worth reading.

Have you ever been just drawn to something?
And I’m not talking the bakery case at the grocery store. Or the shoe department at Nordstrom.
I’m talking, a soul pull. A spirit attraction.
Ever since I’ve been home during my mom’s stroke recovery, I’ve discovered a little place in our house that I keep finding myself sitting in. Just ending up there.
It’s a little sitting area in front of the fire place, and focal point of this nook is a beautiful painting of Jesus. It’s called the image of the Divine Mercy. Perhaps you’ve heard of it.
But I’ll often find myself sitting, just looking into the eyes of Jesus in this painting.
Now, to be honest, I’ve never really considered myself a “religious art person.” I mean, I think it’s beautiful and great for, say, a church, but I don’t know. I’ve just never really given it much contemplation.
