I Bless the Waters

So here we find ourselves in the midst of more flooding!  I just have never seen anything like it.  Water is my friend and my resting place. I go to water to recharge my batteries.  Here is a little place in my back, backyard where I love to go in the spring when the water is rushing.  It is usually a mere trickle right now.  This was last week before this weekends rains.  Or tonight’s rain which has pushed us all into a state of emergency.
 
It is so beautiful and so relaxing.  I can think there.
 
 
 
 
Being at the water is where we re-group.

 
Where I go to learn a little more about life and

 
to be still. 
 
 
I bless the waters while I ask the rain to stop.
 
 

Wife, mother, blogger, Catholic ministry. I love to garden even when it goes wrong. Same with writing (and we know it can go wrong.) Believing that God is present in all of it.

Taste and See the Goodness of the Lord

I have been walking around with a ridiculous smile on my heart about Papa Francesco.  I was having a conversation with my sister in law yesterday, a devout Catholic who really holds Rome in high esteem, and I was telling her (she who knows me so well!) that I am so very pleased with the…

  1. Beautiful pictures! Water is such a friend but at times, a formidable foe. We have no control but we are in the hands of the Lord and we must be still and rest there. Prayers for all those facing difficult situations these days.
