thursday is a good day
a later start to my work at the food pantry leaves time for reading and listening at the computer ... time with Harley on my lap ... quiet reflection ... working on whispered hopes and touched twice, breakfast with a friend ...
time for arranging sprigs of fresh eucalyptus harvested from my garden ... preparing two rooms for a guest ...
our old house ... two empty bedrooms
prayerfully and hopefully ...
a sanctuary?
the living room quiet ... the television silenced perhaps permanently ... the memory of submitting my life to God, agreeing to bloom where planted ...
believing that 'downsizing' our lives is not only about living on less, but living in less ... making room for more ... community
believing in abundance ...
enough eucalyptus for two bouquets ...
"... for every animal of the forest is mine,
and the cattle on a thousand hills.
I know every bird in the mountains,
and the insects in the fields are mine."
Psalm 50:10-11 NIV excerpt
