A bit after 7 AM, I was cutting up the watermelon and packing the cake.
Crazy grey clouds and hard rain on drive to our faraway church for their feast day!
Then God stopped storms from coming during liturgy and the lunch!
It was so hot/humid that when I left the AC in the church
and went outside, my glasses steamed up!
It was a good day.
I helped with the women in doing meal prep after Holy Communion.
The blue icon above is very old and is called the Kursk Root Icon.
It's very special and the woman in the centre is Jesus' Mother,
who is rightly called (as Jesus is God) the Mother of God...
I would love to tell you more about this and how I came to see
Christ's Mother this way...
I am tired now so not going to write more.
Was a busy intense week!
I pray each of you has peace in whatever you are in right now.
God bless you!
