Patiently Waiting in Belgium
One of our members of the Children's Rosary sent us this picture today. It is of a sign in the window of his home in Eupen, Belgium. The sign is written in German and it means Patiently Waiting.
We have made it a little annual tradition to invite members of the Children's Rosary to place a sign in their window with the simple phrase Patiently Waiting. It is a gentle and simple way to let others know where our hearts can be found as we prepare ourselves for the coming of Christ.
May I humbly share the inspiration for this effort. Several years ago, I was walking past a home and such a sign was in the window. It caught my attention. Each time I walked past it each day I looked at it and was grateful for it. To see the sign made me happy inside. I wondered who put such a sign in their window. Later I would find out it was a wonderfully holy priest. After his passing many shared how special this little sign was to them. I was so simple but it sent a ripple out into the community, a joyful one that is still moving in my heart years later even after the soul who placed it in his window has passed on. What if each of us put a sign in our windows? Please lets take a chance and find out.

I would love to feature more pictures of our signs from around the world. They can be written in English or the local language of the area and simply show a window with the sign present. Please email me your sign in the window and I will highlight them here. Send pictures to blythe.kaufman@gmail.com Please also include your town, city and country.
Thank you all so much!!
