I want to write again already to see if I can add a photo. This is Kwan Yin - the goddess of Mercy. I had one of these years ago, & it lost a hand & the head had to be glued back on. Bonnie liked her & wanted one too, so when I saw these in an antique store in Pennslvania in Nov. 2007, I got them. There was a pair - so I have one & Bonnie has this one. Mercy is the "gift" that I scored highest in at church a few years back, when they tested us. So she is the perfect figurine for me. I am trying to show mercy when I do things for these girls in the neighborhood. I showed mercy in my work at the hospital. I hope I will alwats be a merciful person. "Mercy" is a word I use often - the little girls make fun of me for it. Kenzie says - "mercy, ya'll " - to make fun of the Texan in me. That will never change - you can take a Texan out of the state - but you can't take the Texan out of a person.
