Friday's 40 or Less Photo Challenge

I’m posting this a little early because I’ll be traveling Friday and Saturday. Robin has asked us to write a post of 40 words or less about this picture.






I love this statue. She makes me smile and makes me feel joyous and spiritual. Is she stretching in the sun, reaching for a hug from someone much taller or simply praising God for a blessing? I'm not sure, but I'm positive her heart is full, so my post is in the form of a prayer…for you.

Brothers and sisters,
May the grace of God warm you like the sun and fill your heart with uninhibited joy. May you love the Lord with the boldness of a child and share that love with outstretched arms. Amen.

Thank you for offering such sweet words for "us". It's a lovely prayer that seems so fitting for our muse. You seem to have had the same response to "her" that I did :) (I've gotta call the Choo Choo and find out more about the statue! I just KNOW there's a history there!).

Thanks, too, for joining in early--there's always a lot to do to get out of town, so I appreciate the extra effort :).

My first thought was, "Why are these birds spitting in the water?"
BUT, you are much more sincere with your words.
Nice.
