One of the most gratifying moments: arriving at the seaside and walking barefeet through perfectly smooth sand, smelling the salty air, hearing the seagulls, feeling the sun and the soft breeze

A faultless sky brings summer
Unexpectedly.

I mess up again.
I can’t revel in this truth.
Grace redeems us all.
Grace redeems us all.
Let us revel in this truth.
We are forgiven.

I'm reveling in the fact that my kids can cook and occasionally do so. For example, burger nights put on by my 11 year old are an absolute family favourite!

In the Quietness
You speak Grace to my hurt heart.
Voice whispers, “You’re loved!”
Voice whispers, “You’re loved!”
Chaos morphs to quietness.
I hear Your voice, God.
I hear Your voice, God.
Healing heart surfs waves of Grace
Found in quietness.

I sometimes wonder how it would feel to sit inside a flower. How quiet to have so many lush layers cocooned around you, suspended in softness. Untouchable. How would I take that stillness, that gentle peace, onward when the petals drop?

Memories of a rainy, yet lovely summer's day meeting up with family from various places to go for a walk, share a picnic, and enjoy each other's company (particularly that of the toddlers present!)

It seems so obvious. So reasonable. To tribe. To self-select into groups. To put ourselves in narrow ranges. Conservative. Church women. Rich. Married. 20s/30s. Progressive. Divorced. Poor. Seniors. Men’s retreats. 1/3 ⚓️

AdventWord - “Said”
You said, “I love you!”
I need You to repeat that!
Grace has the last word!

You said, “Nothing separates!”

Following the advice of an experienced minister, I held these conkers tightly in my hand as I #said a prayer at a newborn's funeral. Twas a difficult, but also somehow beautiful day.

The words we say and write and leave behind have the capacity to spread and bring joy and destruction in equal amounts.

God’s love redeems me, again!
Grace, and again - Grace!
