for Him.

In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day. The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew this tradition. When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it. The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait, just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table, until the master was finished. Now if the master was done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, and would wad up that napkin and toss it onto the table. The servant would then know to clear the table. For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, "I'm done". But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the
servant would not dare touch the table, because.......... The folded napkin meant, "I'm coming back!"

Jesus is coming back.

One,

Mr. Pine's Purple House is a book I used to read to my son. Then as the years went by he read it to me. Now he's reading his college books, and I don't see him as often.
So, I drew this picture, thinking about him, and those special moments we shared together so long ago.

In Loving Memory of Marguerite...rest peacefully in His loving Arms..

Happy Valentine's Day! ♥

this was fun...
