Default Re: Love and beauty are pervading our world...

Thank you for reminding me of this. When my husband and I were going through a very punishing time I happened into a mariner's museum on the south side of Lake Huron, Canada. It impacted me greatly to see a painted wooden statue of this beautiful chinese lady and the plaque called her "The Chinese Goddess of Mercy". We did receive the mercy we did not deserve and we managed to turn our lives around.

I am reminded of her again to thank her and also to remind myself to extend mercy to those who ask for it.
