Together is my favorite place to be... DUH

I got back a week ago so I suppose I should get over my vacation hangover.

I just really love these people and am so grateful for seven years of friendship with all of them.

And being hidden away together in a log cabin

in the midst of beautiful fall colored woods,

talking, laughing, hugging, all sitting around together reading,

meal planning, cooking, baking, eating,

hiking in the afternoons

and spending the evenings reading Harry Potter out loud to each other (!!)

was such a crazy amazing gift.

So I am just grateful.

And not sad at all
that I don't actually live in a log cabin with them
and that my life isn't just doing those things with them all the time.

Mmk.

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.
