windows and beads

What great finds at a garage sale today----a window and unusual frame.  The Boy With Bubbles above my couch has been getting on my nerves....I don't own him and have to renew  him from the library.
    Granted, this is only every 3 months----but I have to take him in and see if the library will renew him for me. He is heavy and I decided when I saw the window that I'd give him a rest at his rightful place in the library....
   So this 9-pane soldered window jumped out at me and now resides in Bubble Boy's place.  Bravo!  901 is our street address...

   

 

 

The beads are a different story...

I have been given rosaries in the past by different friends.  Not of my theologial background, I decided that I would yet like beads to use while praying.  I am often dreadfully distracted when I pray.  When I hold the beads when I pray, I hold them in one hand and move my thumb and two fingers up to each large bead. I then pray for a specific or broad need.  I go around the beads this way. I start past the Cross then end at the Cross--where I thank God for the work of Calvary and the grace and mercy bestowed on me.



 

Fun to get out my beads and have at it!  The one on the right has a locket at one end, the Cross at the other...
