A Restful Friday

 Hello dear friends! 

No picture today but a hello from me anyway!

We went to church this morning and DV I go again tomorrow AM 

and I am VERY grateful. 

***

I read THIS today and was so encouraged.

This is how to live today: through thanksgiving...

and prayers for thanksgiving...

***

I read THIS about a young altar boy nearly 100 years ago!

***

I listened to THIS recording of an earlier evening presanctified liturgy

from my Ottawa parish and it was so life-giving just to hear.

***

BTW, Henrietta's House is recently republished,

it's the lovely book by Elizabeth Goudge that I read,

the US title being The Blue Hills

***

I took a long walk today, it was very warm.  

***

I managed, by God's mercy, to get the dishes cleaned up and

the table is newly washed and I hope to bake

bread tomorrow and also vegan scones.

***

I am so so glad for the church I have been able to go to.

It's a real encouragement. 

***

I pray that you have had some comfort today!

And if you still need some, check out my links above,

they may just help!

***

I don't think I have the cranberry recipe online yet.

I will try to fix.

***

I won't be showing me with my new hats

(just floppy lovely beret style, cotton and VERY

soft and VERY floppy, just what I wanted). 

I just am not comfortable posting pictures of myself.

***

I am thankful that in real life I am, for the most part,

a brown-haired nondescript person. 

I like it that I don't turn heads or get noticed.

I like being hidden, in the background.

***

I looked nice on my wedding day.

That was so special.

***

But boy is it nice to, in general, not have

that much attention drawn to myself.

***

Well, I hope you are blessed 

and that God has continued mercy on all of us!
