Keeper of the Door

Dec 9

Virgin of the Household
Virgin guarding a doorway, Morelia, Michoacán, México
 
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
Psalm 84:10, King James Version
 


Keeper of the door,
never sleeping day or night,
bless all those within.

      Tall door. I was standing on the sidewalk with my little pocket camera and had to stretch my arms full length to get this shot.

    This photo really strikes me deeply–because of the colors, the texture of the stucco, and the focal point.
