It is literally a sunny Sunday here in the Pacific Northwest. A very welcome sight after record breaking, what seems to be, non-stop rain. Sunny Sundays and Resurrection Reminders, two terms I coined as I've been working on reminding myself how truly blessed Sundays are in that we celebrate the Resurrection of Christ each and… Continue reading Sunny Sunday
Peace
One of my unexpected visitors that I spoke about was an elderly gentleman, Willard. Willard is my hubby’s mom’s husband. We haven’t seen him much since James’ mom passed away. It was a wonderful visit. He is a loving, gentle man who loves God, loves to talk to God and about God and gives God… Continue reading Peace
Visitors
Twice in the last four days we have found ourselves with unplanned company. We have found ourselves welcoming these friends into our home, sharing a meal around the table and hanging out to visit for a goodly amount of time. Twice! I discovered something. It filled my soul! And I realized that this is a… Continue reading Visitors
Resurrection Reminders and More
Well, I'm not going to lie. Blogging has been difficult as of late. I'm in a dry period I guess. I thought #bloginstead and #blogtown was going to jumpstart me back into play again but it has still been a struggle. So, this is me! And I am not sure why. Something that keeps coming… Continue reading Resurrection Reminders and More
2020 Letter Writing Goals
Today is Letter Writing Wednesday! I have not written a letter or a birthday card in probably a month. I DID send over 100 Christmas Cards this year in its place. But not sending birthday cards or letters makes me very sad as I realize how many special days I have missed. Yesterday my Instagram… Continue reading 2020 Letter Writing Goals
Doxa
Last week I pulled out a stack of old newsletters, called Doxa, that I receive from the Monastery of the Holy Archangel Michael. Have you ever been there? It’s in Canones, NM about an hour northwest of Santa Fe. I pulled these out because I know Abbot Silhoun’s feeling on internet and the social media… Continue reading Doxa
O Lord, O Lord, My Joy
I missed the third day of #bloginstead. But I have really enjoyed getting back into blogging and teaming up with such an encouraging bunch of people. What I am hearing from everyone is “happy to be back on the blog”. It’s hard for me to blog every day and even to read daily. But I… Continue reading O Lord, O Lord, My Joy
The Sky
So, ever since last summer, I think I've talked way too much about the sky! It is no secret I am quite enamored with it lately. I find myself just looking up! All the time. It started with reading the Fr. Stephen Freeman book , Everywhere Present. And continued as I did some camping and… Continue reading The Sky
2020 and New Beginnings
It has been nearly a month since I have posted on here! Wow! Where does the time go? It really does sprint past in a flash if you don't pay much attention. Just look at the year of which we find ourselves...2020!! I thought this only happened in the movies. 2020! Today I was engaging… Continue reading 2020 and New Beginnings
Resurrection Reminders
Oh! How I love these reminders! A day late, these "reminders" were given to us yesterday, Sunday...Sunny Sunday! Even in the midst of winter (technically it is still fall though), the dark days. In the midst of Advent and on our way to Christmas, we are reminded He has resurrected Adam's race and granted eternal… Continue reading Resurrection Reminders
Kindler of Joy!
