Always Mercy

ALWAYS MERCY

Jan 9, 2022 ~ Icons of Mercy

Medallions attached to my backpack for traveling to Kenya

Besides the gift of all of you, I carry a few icons of hope with me to Kenya to remind me of who I am.

Crucifix–the source of all mercy, always

Mother Teresa--the model of humility, spiced with courage and perseverance

Camino shell–points me to The Way. It is often by losing my way that I find my way back home, one step at a time

Virgin Mary–”I am the handmaiden of the Lord. Let it be unto me according to Thy will.”  The ultimate surrender

Of course, I’ve safely packed the Hot Tamales and Sweetarts. I can’t leave home without them!

Thank you to all of you who support the mercy work in Kenya.  Besides my medallions, I carry you–icons of mercy and hope–with me to Kenya.

Always Mercy,

Pamela
