roosje: {little rose}: The Church Picnic

Saturday, August 01, 2009

God blessed our picnic deeply.

My spiritual father reminded us that today (old calendar)

is St. Seraphim of Sarov's day.

The weather was sunny, cool in the shade

the lake nice and warm.

I never want days like this to end.

I told our lovely host that this day

(outside of Holy Week)

is second to Christmas for me.

Our once a year church picnic.

Truly this day was a gift from God.

Thank you Michelle! I still have such a hard time thinking that all my pictures are lovely; I am so used to them I think!

Thank you Elizabeth... hmmmm... I am not sure what type of flower it is to be honest...

Thanks RW... it was really lovely. One of those days that you wish would not end...
