Holy Family Shrine

On the way home from the zoo we stopped by the Holy Family Shrine. It was beautiful.
Where's Mary?

This beautiful shrine overlooks the interstate. We've driven by it a million times and never recall seeing it. It's just a reminder that we need to be more observant of Gods presence.

It reminds me of the story of Jesus' birth. God wanted to share the good news of his son's birth. But, most of the people were so busy going about their lives that they couldn't see what was happening. The shepards who were tending sheep, and the wise men who watched the skies saw the signs. In my opinion all were able to see Gods signs because they were either free of busyness or observant. I think it's even easier in today's world to overlook things because there's so much going on.
