This is the Day
I’m getting ready to launch some new cards and prints in the shop very soon and I am very excited about it. I want to share the story of one of them. One of my favorite verses is Psalm 118:24 “This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad… Continue reading This is the Day
Sunny Sunday
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
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 peels away the heaviness that has been weighing me down. I feel as if I have been overcome by heavy… Continue reading Death is Overthrown
A Morning Prayer
Many years ago I received a prayer card from a sweet friend of mine. This morning prayer was written by Elder Sophrony (+1993) of Essex, spiritual child of St Silouan the Athonite. I found this description of the prayer on AbbaMoses.com. "He gave this prayer to his own spiritual children, to be said ‘on rising… Continue reading A Morning Prayer
Falling Down
...again and again. After yesterday's post my dear hubby sent me this quote. Forgiveness has risen from the grave! Christ is Risen! Every day!
Maxim Week 54
Next to the last Maxim. Wow! This is a good one. When we fall, get up immediately and start over. As often as we fall, we stand up again. And we will fall. It says in Scripture that the wise person, the wise man, falls seven times a day, that means a lot, but he… Continue reading Maxim Week 54
