Hands Of Time Christ with Sheep - Luke 15:4-7

- Luke 15:4-7

Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house

He delighted in his family and never shirked his responsibilities in the home

a sculpture of the crucified Jesus laying upon his mother’s lap

My struggle over all that time was to capture these initial emotions and vision

Hands Of Time Christ with Sheep - Luke 15:4-7As a little girl, I remember my mother and her friends sitting around a quilt while I lay underneath. I would watch their hands cast shadows across the different color swatches, their needles bobbing up and down. I felt safe listening to their laughter float through the room. As a young woman, I waited with anticipation for the time when I would be allowed to take my place at the quilt. I remember my mother patiently showing me how to stitch and tie.
