SCRIPTURE COMES FULL CIRCLE ...a walk on the beach ..
A WALK ON THE BEACH
Our most favorite place for Don and I to walk was...the beach!
And when in Maine, ...we walked the beach daily!
So...there was either much to take in within the silence and panorama...or
sharing ideas and just enjoying the fresh air and exercise...but mostly,
Don loved to be playful, and we would sing a little scripture verse he had learned as a boy!
The verses were sung as a "round!"
This always brought us to joy and laughter !!!
"The Angel of the Lord, encampeth 'round about those that fear Him and delivers them...
O' taste and see... how Good is the Lord!
Blessed the one who trusteth in Him!"
O'taste and see ... how Good is the Lord...
Blessed is the one who trusteth in Him!"
The Scriptures for today's reading in the Acts of the Apostles, brought me back to that time frame years ago
when Don and I walked the beach together and sang our prayer!
Today, as I read the account of sacred Scripture about
the release of Saint Peter from the chains that bound him in jail
and the miraculous rescue by the Angel of God,
there was a realization of God's saving action in my own life !
"Now I know for certain that the Lord sent His Angels and and rescued me from ( Herod) my enemy "...
"I sought the Lord and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears !"
A deliverance, so real, has been happening and continuing for years!
Jesus has continually been with me ... to deliver me from all my fears !
" Walls and mounds of debris have been uncovered and removed !"
A deliverance from the debris intended to cover and stifle my soul,
has been happening throughout the years ...
A miraculous deliverance from a prison, so to speak!
That little prayer request from the past, our song sung together years ago in moments of Joy,
was being answered by our loving Father, GOD!!!
And the Holy Spirit showed me "today " through the readings of His Word
and the example of Peter's deliverance !
HE gave me the link of the Scriptures from this day's
reading ,of His ever abiding Presence!
"Taste and see how Good is the Lord,
happy the one who trusted in Him !"
"Rejoice always , pray constantly,
Give Thanks in all circumstances,
for this is the will of GOD in Christ JESUS
FOR YOU! "
Thanks again, Don!

BROKEN THINGS: The Bluebirds
Bluebirds
Translucent !
A sun catcher in the window...
A lovely sight to see...
Singing as they face each other,
he and she...
So compatible...sharing a perch!
One day it fell to the floor!
It`s okay...there is a crack ...
yet they're cheerful and singing !
In our own brokenness
In our own brokenness
we too, are so Loved by God!
Mary brought tears...
and the broken Alabaster urn
to the feet of Jesus...
and the broken Alabaster urn
to the feet of Jesus...
A broken life was saved!
"May the contrite soul, the humbled spirit be acceptable to you, Lord."
Daniel 3; 40
Happiness
So beautiful....
with arms outstretched in welcome...
with arms outstretched in welcome...
a figure full of joy, expressed!
Bluebirds,...
perched
one on each arm !
perched
one on each arm !
Somehow, she toppled ...
now has only one hand...
now has only one hand...
yet keeping the same stance!
The question was asked,
"Will you keep her?"
"She is broken... I know...
yet...
I love her Joyous Stance!"
The question was asked,
"Will you keep her?"
"She is broken... I know...
yet...
I love her Joyous Stance!"

YES! There actually is a Saint Carona !
Saint Carona
"Yes! There is actually a St. Carona !
And her remains are in Northern Italy very near where the Caronavirus pandemic is in the
city of Anzu, Italy.
Carona was only 16, when she gave her life to comfort a fellow Christian.
The word Carona is Latin for Crown....and she is one of the patron saint of pandemics !
What a surprise!
A friend always commented on how "God always shows up at the right time !"
The word Carona is Latin for the word "CROWN".

GOD IS ALL IN ALL...Fr.Thomas Keating
God Is All In All
Contemplative Outreach
I do not know how it works,
but when a group of like-minded people
committed to the trans formative process are together,
the force of the energy is certainly up a number of decibels higher.
You do not have anything to do but sit still,
and let your mind be quiet.
Know that God's word is spoken fully only in silence.
Be still, and you will know, not by the knowledge
of the mind, but by the knowledge of the heart,
who God is and who you are.

MY SACO RIVER STORY
THE RIVER OF LIFE
Nature speaks to me ...God's creation speaks to me of an eternally loving God, Who never stops creating ; He is not a static entity!
There is a process of God's Creation...unending... not only a cycle of life,
but an everlasting supply of life flowing into an Eternity of being..
and we are all in this flow of creation moving forward endlessly...
My Saco River Story
Don, my husband, grew up being a Boy Scout for most of his childhood
and became a Boy Scout Leader, bringing our sons along the same route.
As a family, most of our early vacations were turned toward camping
and travelling the states.
On one of our excursion's,coming back home through the mountains from Northern Maine,
I happened upon something very interesting !
From the upper side of a mountain and peeking out of the ledge stone
was a small length of a water pipe.
Next to the water pipe was a sign,
"the beginning of the Saco River!"
The amount of water flowing from that small water pipe was that of an ordinary home faucet !
A small beginning for the Saco River we knew very well !
The River that flowed into the Ocean,
The River that gave us fish,
The River we camped along and swam and took our canoe trips,
The River that took our boat into the deep, seemingly unending Ocean!
