Haiku My Heart for Rebecca



Bouquet of flowers
Healing is the aroma

Sunlit Sunday and Mosaic Monday



Sunlight in the smiles of the ones you love!
There is nothing in the world so inspiring 
as a laugh or smile.  Nothing more healing.


~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!!!

~~Sunlit Sunday~~

My Favorite Chair


If you invoke the Holy Spirit with a humble and trusting heart, filled with good desires, he will descend with his blessed light and inflaming fire.  He will come and penetrate into the very center of your heart, purifying it, changing it, enlightening it, inflaming it, and consuming it with the flames of his holy and divine love.  ~Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini~

Thanks be to God!

Haiku My Heart

God alone can give you the courage to overcome
nature and to make to him all the sacrifices he has
requires of you this year.

Mosaic Monday

Posted by Picasa

In December we gathered at Saint Meinrad Archabbey for the recommissioning of five Providence Associates.  There is never a time when the beauty of this holy ground does not inspire.  This day it was strange to be only wearing a jacket and finding it so mild here in Indiana.  Twas a grand day!!!

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!!

Now please visit Mary at The Little Red House and share in the beauty offered there.   Please visit Lisa at  Macro Monday  for she also has much to offer.  The pictures are grand.

~~Sunlit Sunday~~

When Karen invited us to join her on Sunlit Sunday I was thinking what a neat idea.  As a matter of fact, I have something to offer.  This post happens to be a copy today's posting at my other blog, Provident God.  It's like sharing the radiance of God in more that one place.  I think we should continue to pass it on.  So thank you to Karen for offering us this opportunity!  This, too, is providence.

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.  ~~2Peter 3: 18~~
~~~~~

You can never say
Thank you to God too often
God is generous

All that I receive 
Is generously given
I reply, thank you

~~~^j^~~
Thanks be to God!!

Haiku My Heart

Posted by Picasa

Though hidden by clouds
So amazing is our God
His grace is poured forth.

So we must say, "Yes"
Listen to his beckoning
Accept his summons.

Thanks be to God!!!

The Joy in Tea Tea Talk



Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the
 comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company.
~~Author Unknown~~

I'm having...Irish breakfast tea.

My teacup...is a one of my festive colored mugs!   It's cheerful and pleasant to the eye early in the morning!


I'm feeling... better.  Yesterday I had some "bug" but it has since moved on!!!

On my mind... preparation for tonight's Bible Study.  Will begin the study of the Letter to the Hebrews.  

Please join Ruth at Tea Talk today.

~~~~~~~



Today I also join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday.   For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live.  God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.

Joy comes in many forms.
And this day has the potential of
being just as grand as



the tulips in Spring.  I must be open to it!


~~~~~~~

Finally, take a moment to relax and play at putting together this simple jigsaw puzzle.  Be a kid again for just a little while!

Mosaic Monday



Turn trustingly to the Lord who is my God. Put your faith in 
him with all your heart, because nothing is impossible to him. 
 ~~Saint Patrick~~

The year in review is a grand time for me!  I can review the collages and reflect on all the wonderful times had during the year.  Also the times when disappointment and sadness have touched this house.  And now in this new year, 2012, I begin a new journey!!!

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!!!
