.story of a lovely afternoon.






"This one!! This is the BEST one!!!"



Beautiful Christmas quilt from my childhood received this week in a care package from my sweet mom.




Gotta love friends who can grab a saw from home on their way over for dinner!



Going on in this picture: ornament-making, stocking-sewing, and 4th grade math homework.




This was totally candid and made me happy when I saw it on the camera. I believe I was admiring an ornament A made for my tree out of truck fabric!





Miss Erica was an awesome decorator and photographer- and also brought me a gorgeous ornament she MADE shaped like a little book, "because I know you like books".



So grateful for friends who fill my little house with joy and with help decorating and celebrating (and with ornaments and stockings).

Grateful for a tree filled with lights and wreaths in every window.


Also found this pic on my camera at the end of the night. :-)

Human Needs Global Resources Covenant, 2009

As fellow travelers on this journey, we commit to this covenant before God. Lord, in Your mercy, hear these our prayers:

When confronted with scarcity, need, and inadequacy, may we be nourished by the Bread of Life and the Cup of Salvation. Abundance overflows from Your table, sustaining all who come in faith. Father, help us.

When monotony blurs our vision and dulls our senses, may we encounter others as Christ did, through intentional presence in daily life, submitting as clay to be formed into vessels filled with the Spirit. Christ, guide us.

When wounded by the fractured condition of Your people, may we be united by Your Lordship in faith, hope, and love; seeing, as through the facets of a diamond, the beautiful spectrum of Your light reflected onto Your holy Church joined in praise. Spirit, empower us.

When all Creation groans, afflicted by injustice and driven to despair, may the promise of redemption root us in the hope of Your Kingdom: "Behold, I am making all things new!"

Holy Trinity, send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve You with gladness and singleness of heart.

Amen.
