I carry these little figurines in my pocket everywhere I go. God will prompt me, and sometimes I can just read a face that is troubled. I will ask them if they need a “little Jesus” at the appropriate moment. Many of them say “yes” or “I do all the time”. My hand is already in my pocket with this little rubbery representation.
It’s not an icon. It is something for when you feel down you can reach in your pocket or look up from your desk and get a fresh reminder of God’s grace and mercy. I’ve only had two refuse it and one of the two thanked me for thinking of them anyway. Most give me a smile and tell me they really needed it at that moment.
About JimR, Chaplain
I'm a 74-year-old guy, in October 2024, who worked in Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune for 28 years and now retired as of 31 Dec 16. I've worked in medical records, the Health Benefits Department, Billing, and the IT department and retired as the Personnel Security Manager for the hospital. I'm a musician and Corvette enthusiast. Yes, I have had two. I traded my second Corvette for a Harley Davidson Fat Boy in mid-summer 2019. Then in 2024, I traded to an HD FreeWheeler FLRT. I've already ridden the new one a thousand miles in 6 weeks. I'm also searching for a fresh new outlook on life with new spiritual insight among other things. I was ordained a minister in 20190202. I've become certified with the American Chaplaincy Association through Aidan University in June '21. I've found that with the unconditional love of my companion, Libby Rowe life is complete through God. She's a beautiful, vibrant, giving woman who gives her all in everything she puts her mind to do. She and I married on 24 July 2015. She was ordained in February 2022. She has a blog too called Under a Carolina Moon. Give it a visit.
