The way of the world

       God, walk with us today and every day.  I need you every hour.  IJN

Been there, done that

 

March 2023, returning home 

                   All I want to say is, Lord, have mercy. 

If you want to know what love is

 Get a good dog

     GIG says two-brained beings, eg dogs, teach us love.  Thank you, God, for our associations with them; they surely bring us closer to Thee.  Send protectors to rescue suffering animals as well as humans, today and every day, I ask  IJN

Doldrums

 

Couldn’t pass over the ice in the schoolyard

     Bad dream as I awoke, made me think of hallucinations that my schizophrenic dear ones suffer, but I knew mine wasn’t real. Lord, ease the suffering of all with mental dis-ease now and always, I pray.  Lead them to the helpers and treatments they need  IJN

Lucky ducks

 

Yesterday at our Greenway

     Actually Your greenway, and thank you for it.  

     Lord, help us all find our ways. M especially needs help; show us what we can do to help her.

Beautiful

    MF sent our group a YouTube link to a Ukrainian Orthodox Christmas service yesterday, and it brought tears to my eyes, so sacred and beautiful.  Their Christmas traditionally falls on January 7, although web sources say it was celebrated December 25 this time.  Here is the link.  I think it was recorded 4 years.

     Lord, let us link to you as we mingle beautiful and ugly to find our being.  IJN       

Lord have mercy

 

Lewiston on a rainy day, 10-11-18

On the days we weep, Lord, dry our tears.  Not with self comforting, but with moving closer to you.
