Always beginning

 

Well, we begin again.

Soon it will be Lent.

I was able to go to confession today, a relief,

one that is hard to explain if one does not practice this so all

I can say is that it is a blessing.

***

I feel right side up again.

***

Of course I need to work on staying that way!

For those who love Christian Orthodox reading, this post

from a few years ago was on social media today and it really blessed me.

***

Well, I felt so loved today.

My Husband finished putting up the plates that we had to put up yet!

I have not gotten pictures yet but hope to soon.

***

I went through a few tries on a novel to read and boy,

some that I got were just no good.

What a difference an author who seeks to give light

verses an author who does not!

So I am reading a DE Stevenson novel,

The Tall Stranger and that is one that gives light.

***

I got out a chicken from the freezer, and hope to make it on Monday.

This is the last week we eat meat before Lent

and it's a blessing... so chicken this week and then this Sunday, roast beef

as we are DV having very special guests coming.

***

We went on a short walk today.

The weather is warmer than it was and the sun shone at times.

I am thankful.

***

I keep coming back to a beautiful image in a book called,

Man, Target of God (it's about God's loving gaze being on us)

of the three youths in the fire

and that Christ is the Angel that comes to be with them in the fire... 

(the story in the book of Daniel) ... 

Christ coming to be with us...

***

Well, I must go. 

I am excited to have this last week of eating meat and the 

time of Lent and then of Pascha.

I am so thankful.

May God help us, have mercy on us, forgive us and save us!
