Just wanted to share on this subreddit my favorite spot in the casa.

My mom painted the black velvet paint-by-numbers Jesus in the garden and gave it to my great grandmother nearly 50 years ago. My great grandmother had it professionally framed in the frame seen here.

The painting hung over the China cabinet in my great grandparent’s humble country home. It recently dawned on me the faith, suffering, and joy this painting has been a silent witness to in our family. Made all the more special because of the love between my mom and her mom’s mom.

I was away for a few decades…finally getting confirmed, God willing, when our bishop visits my home parish in May!!
