I will go first.

I used to have a field of tulips, representing the beauty of the Lord, a picture I took in my home state.
Then I chose a picture I took of grapes and a tea pot, symbol of a fruitful life, and sharing over tea.
Now, I have a deserted church from the high desert of Oregon. It is from a wonderful day we spent exploring. It reminded me of the power of the church in the early days of developing the west in the US.

I chose mine for three reasons. # 1 - Gods grace is my salvation.

# 2 - My beautiful Granddaughter is named Grace

#3 - The Rose represents my Daughter, Grace's Mother.

I wanted something that represented 'me' so I decided to show my hands with art on them it shows a bit of me as well as a bit of what I like "art."

I chose mine because I really like cats and it indicates laid-backness and playfulness (not that I'm always those things.)

we need to pray.

unless God gives us life, we're dead; nothing but dry bones.

Such meaningful symbolism in these avatars! Now I feel like I just haphazardly picked mine. LOL

My avatar represent the way I feel at heart(young), also that I represent royalty, hence the word (fly) which embodies a personal demeanor of character, and the last word represents by God's grace I am (saved) through Christ Jesus.

It's a picture I took of one of the roses in my garden. The roses are a symbol of the Earthly love (of my husband) that lead me back to harmony in the love of my Father. :)

Simply because I moved from Norway to Scotland, and I like both places a lot.

Another site user was very helpful to me and suggested the one I have. I Blond being techno challenged needed assistance in getting it where it went from the same user who made the suggestion. Sorry I forget who the user was, but thank you other wise I'd still be a shadow avatar..... an empty tomb....because JesusLives.
