Day 87 - 3/28/2011

This is one of those days when just one photo will not tell the story.  My friend Becky told me about how beautiful the azaleas were lining the walkway to the grotto.  So, after lunch we took a walk for a photo shoot.  While at the grotto, we ran into one of her work study students.  Here they are looking at the statue of Mary.

The Grotto on SHC Campus





The grotto is a beautiful place to visit, whether you or Catholic or of another denomination.  And this time of year the colors of the azaleas and other flowers that are in bloom are so rich, one can't help but see God's hand in the creation. The statue of Mary is beautiful as well. There is a bench nearby, and in the alcove part of the grotto people have placed angels, crucifix, nativity scenes, photos, etc.

Imagine yourself walking down the row of azaleas and sitting on that bench.  You are taking that quiet moment to spend some time alone with God. As a Baptist, I do not pray to Mary, but I do pray to God and you can too.  Tell him what is on your heart.  He will meet you here and will listen to whatever you want to talk to him about.
