Blessed Easter Day! 💛🙌💛
I may be missing my Beloved at our holiday celebration. I miss his good morning holiday kiss. I will miss how he made easter egg hunts for our grandson extraordinary. I will miss him at the head of our table, so happy and content with gathered family. Yet I know his days now are forever glorious than anything I can imagine. Our family will hold one another this day in love and know that one day Jesus is waiting with open arms when it is our time to go Home.

Thank you, -Kaye for the powerful graphic of love and grace. May you have a blessed Easter holiday.

Blessed Easter day to us all. May we know this day just how much we are loved and cherished. Even the Angels marvel at this mystery of God's love for each one of us.

Jesus is risen!

In our hearts and in our lives.

He is risen in our families, in in our joys and especially sorrows.

He is risen in our daily activities, in the marketplace, in our communities and in our churches where we gather and uphold Him.

He is Risen. Indeed!

Good Morning! 💛 ☕💛

A Contented Life:

I do not wish to rush the day. The years and hours go by much too fast. I want to savor all the moments I am given. Each given day may hold its share of trouble, sorrow, and sacrifices. Yet I am always able to find peace, joy and love mingled in whatever life throws at me. Some days are better than others but it is still indeed part of my journey.

Like a great pot of tea, the steeping cannot be over looked. There has to be a time of slowing down. We must make the time to seep... reflect and think it through. The practice of sacred pauses, create a much kinder world when we do not rush ahead.

My treasures I hold close to my heart are faith, family and community. My life is indeed very rich in all that matters. I can honestly say I am content and for me, it sums up to gratitude. I am forever a student of gratefulness of all the lessons life reveals my way...good or bad.

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. (Philippians 4:12,13)

May this day, known Silent Saturday reveal many blessings in your life. May your dash; the line between your date of arrival and the date of departure from this world hold many fulfilling adventures. Perhaps even some events you've never quite thought of as blessings but you are neverless learning contentment, peace and gratitude along the pathway home. 💛

Good Friday Morning! 💛☕️💛
Trimming away and making room for what truly counts in this season of something more.

“Lent is the time for trimming the soul and scrapping the sludge off a life turned slipshod. Lent is about taking stock of time, even religious time. Lent is about exercising the control that enables us to say no to ourselves so that when life turns hard of its own accord we have the stamina to yes to its twists and turns with faith and hope…. Lent is the time to make new efforts to be what we say we want to be.”
~ Sister Joan Chittister; The Rule of Benedict: Insight for the Ages.

Good Morning! 💛☕️💛
I am thankful this day for the written word.

Words to pray,
Words to live by,
Words I have read,
Words to write down,
Words to share and uplift.
Words that have been spoken,
And Words that speak life into my very soul.

“Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, the melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.” ~ Graham Greene

Good Morning! 💛☕️💛: Becoming!
I woke up with a simple yet profound message;
"Caterpillars don't die."
It was a wildly random thought, one that I could not shake for weeks as I pondered the very miracle of a caterpillar becoming a glorious butterfly.

The science behind the life of a butterfly is a miracle. Butterflies go through a life cycle that involves several stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The metamorphosis from a caterpillar into a butterfly occurs during the pupa stage. During this stage, the caterpillar's old body fades and a new body forms inside a protective shell known as a chrysalis. The life cycle of a butterfly is truly amazing.

This random wild thought of the life of caterpillars and butterflies has forced me to think about the many stages of growth in my own six decades of life. All the struggles, growing pains, and cocooning in search of that place of becoming. What a ride it is continuing to be, this journey of life itself in all its ups and downs.

Truth is that some 'caterpillars' do not make it to becoming as they were intended. They struggle more than most during the process of all the twists thrown at them and can become stuck in one phase or another. That is a reality. The lifespan of caterpillar is a lengthy brutal process, yet it is often in the hardships of life that we become overcomers. While the end result of a butterfly's life is one of glorious soaring, it is also a time of regeneration that life goes on.

This got me to pondering how much this lesson on caterpillars can be applied to ourselves and the many relationships that surround us. All of us are not on the same growth path and there is grace in the waiting to becoming butterflies. Soaring may be an amazing goal, but growth at any rate is worth celebrating. This Spring may we learn from the example of caterpillars and butterflies to show us how tough and grand life can truly be! Be gentle on ourselves and others as we process this thing called becoming.
