My Journey to God

My Prayer Necklace

Owen brings my rosary to me,
he holds it gently as can be.

Pink crystal beads dance in candle light.
“Nanny, here is your prayer necklace.”

Owen, our curious one, our little grandson.
He once asked me about my Jesus of Mercy picture.

“Why are those colors leaping out of Jesus,
Nanny?”
“It’s His mercy and love,” I answered, not sure if he understood.

Owen studied the picture, and said,
“When we go to heaven, we will see Jesus!”

Owen smiled, and jumped off my bed.
He understood everything I said.
