• Sorry about the silence, once again. We had another wave of visitors and just this week are returning to some modicum of "normalcy", i.e., school and work, and our regular activities.

  If truth be told, I'm feeling a bit blue today - I'm missing my kids already and feeling the lack of connection that any transition brings. I know it'll change over time, but today my heart matches the rain well. Kind of cozy, but with a touch of sad, you know.

  "What but my joy can make Jesus delectable and desirable to my neighbor? ....Should I not  be obsessed by what obsesses God? ...But the Lord knows this about His child: I need to be commanded to rejoice, or I won't ...Joy is no stranger...but comes to stay...It rooms with sorrow...and comes [with] the promise of a distant land where joy is unalloyed with pain."
   ~ A. Seu

  "Your strength will come from settling down
     in complete dependence on me—
  ....in quietness and trust is your strength." Is 30:15

  I'm determined to find the joy of quiet trust.....off to read before the fireplace.

  Grateful for the last few weeks:

  The silly times ~

  

  

  The happy times ~

  

  The peaceful times ~
