I have two images of Christ on my walls, opposite each other in my apartment.
The first is a crucifix that hung on my dad's old bedroom wall during the last 15 years of his life, and so has special meaning to me.
He endured a lot during that time, but each healing brought even greater times of fulfillment for him, especially with family and friends. He died last year at 93 with a smile on his face.
The second is one that I struggled with at times because I had trust issues with Jesus. Notice the wording on the image: "Jesus, I trust in You!"
(I had a bad experience in a Catholic seminary as a young man.)
I found out that He quite understands and doesn't blame me.
He knows what we've all been through and what we do or don't need at any particular moment.
These images are reminders for me as I go about my daily business.
I like them.
