A Gathering Day # 13 of Thankfulness

13 Nov

We gathered together over coffee and tea. We shared a meal. Then it got real. One brave, brave woman shared her story. It wasn't always pretty. She opened her heart. Vulnerable. Raw. Strong. Beautiful. She gave all she had. Surrendered, in the mess, to the giver of life. She gave him the broken pieces and he rewrote a beautiful story. A story of faithfulness and grace. Of strength and glory. She shared with us; this beautiful woman. Our stories are important. They weave together the tapestry of who we are. When we share the journey, we release the stronghold that ... View Post

The Early Morning Sky Day #12 of Thankfulness

12 Nov

I step outside to collect greens for centerpieces. It is dark and quiet. There is a chill in the air. I glance up. "Oh!" The early morning sky takes my breath away. Stars upon stars. A glorious sight. I marvel at the sheer number. I turn and turn; I can't seem to grasp the magnitude. Each direction is filled with the luminous, shimmering, light. I wish I knew more of the constellations. Stargazing in the city was quite different than the country. I stand in awe. It's cold. I need to gather greens. I feel small. This great sky looming before me. I feel insignificant beneath ... View Post

There is Strength in the Surrender Day #11 of Thankfulness

11 Nov

It is in the Surrender that we are the most strong. When we lay it all down. That the power is fully engaged. Surrender-  to give the control or use of (something) to someone else When we bow, humbly before the Cross. We are strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." . . . It is funny how that is. The tighter we have a hold on something; the further from our reach. The more we let go. . . the freer we become. My father died on Memorial Day. So fitting for a man so Patriotic. He was staunch in his ... View Post

Can We Have Differences But Not Take Sides? Day #10 of Thankfulness

10 Nov

I thought it would stop. All the negativity. It hasn't. The name calling; by the very people who wish to not be called names. I don't, and can't understand the mentality. We are more than this.  My parents taught me, "If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say it at all." That practice seems to be only pertinent when your candidate wins office. I long for unity. I long for no name calling; on either side. I long for there not to be sides. Differences. Yes. They challenge us; teach us. But no sides. We can learn from each other. No matter how different. There is ... View Post

America: God Shed His Grace on Thee

9 Nov

O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! A friend posted this on her face book wall. It evoked memories of Elementary music classes. It also brought back a memory of a dance recital. The finale included this song and all dancers coming onto the stage carrying flags. I remember the crowd standing to their feet. It was the 70's and I was young. I remember the lump in my throat. A sense of pride ... View Post

Election Day! Day #8 of Thankfulness

8 Nov

Here it is Election Day! A day that used be somewhat exciting and patriotic. A day when my heart swelled with gratitude for the exercise of freedom in this great United States. I woke last night. Yes, just after my last post about not having trouble sleeping. I woke. And could not fall back to sleep. I realized it was the election on my heart. So I prayed for this great Nation. And fell back to sleep I woke again this morning with peace. This is still a great Nation. We are still here. When our son died. God left us here. For a reason. For a purpose. We still have a voice. If ... View Post
