A Blessing

Today I had the pleasure of giving a blessing to an elderly man at our church. His name is George. Recently I had brought into our adult bible study a piece of wood art our son, John, made me for Christmas of the Holy Family. George saw it and said he remembered a plaque he saw as a boy at his Great Aunt's house in Germany which said
O' LORD BLESS THIS HOUSE AND ALL THAT DWELL WITHIN---
IF ANY NEED THEE, HELP THEM.
TELL ALL THAT ENTER HERE O' LORD, JESUS CHRIST,
THAT THOU ART THE DOOR TO LIFE ETERNAL.
John not only wrote the words out on wood but made a shadow of Christ with his arms outstretched and bursting of sun rays shining upon Him.
I gave this plaque to George today which brought tears to his eyes. God truly blessed George by using our son's talents.
