These were illustrated during the lockdown season, asking "What do I have to be grateful for?" and "Where did our grace go hiding?"
This is Grace, who keeps in her purse:
1 handkerchief, for emotional emergencies;
1 bottle of cream, to be able to offer a soft hand to someone in need;
eyeglasses, to see the good-intentions in others more clearly;
1 collapsible umbrella, for life's unexpected showers (be they storms or drizzles);
1 locket, to bring an element of beauty to any environment she enters.
This is Joy, who keeps in her purse:
1 journal and pencil, take note of life unfolding;
1 bottle of cream, to reflect on what she is grateful for;
1 instant camera, to capture beauty in the moment;
1 change purse, for spontaneous spending on a rainy day;
1 bottle of sunshine, to remember the sun always shines above the clouds;
Several candies, to help sweeten life's flavor.
This is Hope, who keeps in her purse:
1 watch, to remind her to be present in this time;
1 hand mirror, to reflect back on her personal progress;
1 pair of keys, to unlock the hidden lessons in life's tests;
Several band aids, for rough bumps along the way;
1 pair of sunglasses, in order to see the silver lining in any difficult situation.
