Details of a Wednesday

Above are flowers from the monastery this past weekend.

A lovely Romanian man was given them from

where they adorned the large icon

of the Dormition of the Theotokos.

I sold about 65 of my books today.

It was a new experience to let go of books

that had with me for

some years.

*

I just had to keep reminding myself

that though I have given away the books that remind me

of how God has worked in my life

and that He is bringing me deeper in

where He seeks to lead me.

*

The books were merely part of that journey

and that God is here with me now

and has given me a new chapter in my life,

where and what I need to go towards.

*

Am reading more of The Jesus Prayer

by Frederica Mathewes-Green

and am really appreciating this book.

*

I can't recommend this book enough...

I was at a small lake with family tonight.
*
Had tea and lunch at an Aunt's house.

I treasure these days and feel strongly that they are fleeting.
***
We must pray for those we love and for God's mercy
and salvation.

How much we are in need of God's mercy.
