As a man thinketh...

A
man is what he thinks about all day long. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson




So all day long I number gifts and I become consumed with the God-giver.

To be praise --- is there greater joy?








1345. When Dad opens the door of his resurrected barn, and points up to show me the beams, I nod, knowing Beams that have restored whole lives.








1346. I lit the candles and they all find their place over steaming bowls and when I look in the window, just for a moment, I'm sure I see the reflection of Grace. I smile....







1347. She took zucchinis from the garden but, truly, when I popped the seal, there was love. Does all work so transform?






1348. The fence began at the Barn and ended at the Tree.
Like the Incarnation.

Ephesians 5:20
