Holy Kiss

We are admonished, in four separate places in the New Testament, to greet each other with a holy kiss. This is my friend, Jane Hemmer. truly giving William a holy kiss. She and her husband, John, gave Fr. Don Harrison the green chasuble that a priest wears over 200 days of the church year. The priest at St. Anthony's, Winder, GA, did not have one and at the couple's request this was their wedding gift to Heather and Ross McGee.
This woman is a Daughter of the King. She prays always.
I have traveled with her to Russia on pilgrimage, to Israel to the Holy sites and each time have grown in my search for the true Peace.
She is always writing in a journal. Not quite like a diary, but similar. She sketches icons, landscapes, buildings, thoughts of the moment.
Her brother, Garland Reynolds, is an architect. There is such creativity and artistry in that family. Jane did not have the privilege of having her own mother to raise her. She has made up for that void in many ways with her own grands. There are three girls and one boy child. When she is holding them, is truly a sight, one on each hip, wanting her undivided attention of their Grand-mommy.
I have grown to love this family and particular my soul sister!
