Spring is here in the South, and that means ridiculous pollen … and weeds. I finished cleaning up the Mary garden and my roses, and have started tackling some other areas that I want to prettify.
Meanwhile, the hubs is mowing the lawn to help with the clean-up. Unfortunately, these little wildflowers get wiped out in the mowing. They are so tiny and so sweet that I’d like to see them stick around for a little while longer.
“If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.” St. Thérèse of Lisieux
I am absolutely making my way through the stacks of unread books in my house, and in the midst of trying to get work done, doing some of those put-off chores, and a new-found fervor in prayer, I’m also having to do a little clean-up with my work in ministry with cancelled retreats and talks.
This week all of my books went on super-sale at Amazon! I’m happy to share those links with you here and hope you’ll jump in and support my ministry through those purchases. I also encourage you to look around and see what other authors have on sale too!
Bodies of water, whether a wide open ocean with raging waves or a calm pond in the neighborhood, both fascinate and soothe me.
This Lent I’m seeking silence and making an effort to get outside and move and breathe deeply. These guys, a lone fisherman and his winged companions, caught my attention. They stood motionless waiting for a bite. I could learn a thing or two about patience from them.
Do you have a favorite space or place to seek peace and quiet?
