Good Habits





















F

eeding a joy habit with a thanks habit...
shimmers of grace from a sun weekend
that I shake my head in crazy wonder over, turn face in
lipped thanks,
and feel the rush into the hollowed places, emptiness filling with
the deep joy...
eucharisteo...

#1085 - #1097 of the endless gifts


wet toes

summer holler before the boy-dive

foam of falls

Wild Boys calling for Mama audience

how she makes friends wherever we go

stone hewn by long water, long time

brothers, all four

freckles sprinkled across bridge of her nose

Son-guide across slick rock

river laughter

August light

his hand home




These things I remember as I pour out my soul:
how I used to go with the multitude,
leading the procession to the house of God,
with shouts of joy and thanksgiving
among the festive throng."

~Psalm 42:4




If you'd like to join the multitude with your own thanksgiving that always brings joy, quietly tap in the URL to your gratitude post, happy invitation to form a joy habit through a thanks habit.

The Plan



In the experiences of a simple/crazy life,
farming Canadian dirt, raising
half a dozen exuberant kids,
stringing sheets out on the line....

I'm praying to slow and see
the sacred in the chaos,
the Cross in the clothespin,
the flame in the bush.

Just a bit of
listening, laundry, liturgy...
life.
