CRAYONS TO COFFEE CUPS

I Found Jesus In His Name

Two weeks ago, I began a series of articles about

finding Jesus in everyday places and/or things. As

I was shopping on Amazon recently, I accidently

came across the above plaque. As I gazed upon

this, a flood of memories came rushing in. I re-

member seeing this on my teacher’s desk when I

was in third grade at St. Charles Catholic School in

Wisconsin. Because I was too embarrassed to ask

my teacher what this “coded message” meant, for

a long time, all I saw were little sticks oddly placed

upon a board. Finally, toward the end of the

school year, I asked my teacher what this plaque

meant. With a look of surprise on her face, she

immediately said, “It’s Jesus.” I remember indicat-

ing to her that I don’t “see” Jesus. She gave me

clear instructions (as teachers do) to step back,

close my eyes, think of Jesus, then open my eyes

and really focus on the plaque. When I did as she

instructed, the look that appeared on my face and

my response brought her to tears. I exclaimed that

I finally can “see” Jesus!! How many times in our

lives have we had to take a step back, close our

eyes and think of Jesus? At first you may not see

Him. Even though someone tells you that He is

there. Sometimes we are too embarrassed to ad-

mit that we just don’t see Him. Even if that is the

case, Jesus never wants us to stop searching for

him. Sometimes all it takes is for us to refocus our

eyes in order to “see” Jesus. –Sherrie Clutts DRE
