Sacrament






















The new father held his baby daughter
gently within his hands.
His gaze never left her face;
he focused intently upon her,
not even looking up when I entered the room.

I dared not disturb this holy scene,
this reminder of how
tenderly God looks at
each and every one of us,
and I was blessed by the sacrament of the moment.

  2. When I saw this picture it immediately made me think of the picture Colleen put up of her son and grandson.
    Beautiful words and picture!
