One funny thing about all of the religious houses that we visit (convents, rectories, seminaries, missions...) is that they all have inspirational posters - always framed- that have some sort of inspirational message in English such as "Laughter is the Beauty of Today's Moment and the Hope for Tomorrow's Promise" or "Winners never Quit, Quitters never Win". This message will be written across some sort of scenic picture - sometimes its a palm tree on a beach, or a house set in a meadow. Usually though, it's a picture of creepy babies. Sometimes they're Indian babies, sometimes they're American babies. Sometimes they're dressed like babies, sometimes they're dressed up like grown-ups. Most of the time they're holding flowers. You know how Angela on "The Office" has that poster by her desk of the babies wearing sunglasses and playing saxophones? Now imagine that "You are the Light of the World" is written across the bottom and it's framed and hanging in the dining room of the Sisters of Charity. It's not only babies though, there are posters of kittens and puppies too. I definitely saw one that said "Walk by Faith, not by Sight" with a picture of a Golden Retriever. The poster that I'm looking at right now has three babies (although I'm pretty sure it's the same baby transposed three times) crawling in a field of yellow flowers wearing diapers and straw hats covered in flowers. Across the top it says, "Every Eye has its own Crystal". What does that even mean?!?
Creepy.

This blog would be so much better if it were called Carin' or Lovin'.
Hei Andrea,
It's already a month that you have been with me in India. I have known a lot about you and how you have been able to put up with difficulties and are able to look ahead. Your cheerfulness and caring attitude always inspires me. Love.
