August ...

"Isn't it nice to think

 that  tomorrow 

is a new day with 

no mistakes in it yet?'

L.M. Montgomery

What is more wonderful ... is the forgiveness of our failings, shortcomings and sin. because 

Jesus loves and forgives. 

July...

July you were amazing. July you offered sacred moments where we prayed,  sang songs, made pottery, marveled at fireworks,  scooped ice cream,  ate hot dogs, endured thunderstorms,  travels hundreds of  miles on road trips, savored  family visits,  and enjoyed  breakfasts at the hotel. Where did you go July? You went by so fast! 

Most of all, God you gave us July and you  provided safety for us.

Traveling ...

 Summer vacations often look  different for everyone.  Whether, we enjoy a staycation or enjoy an adventurous road trip, travel can offer a reset for our lives.  Depending on budgets and time concerns, summer travel often provides a popular time to travel with families. 

Traveling does not have to be elaborate to be satisfying. Maybe before summer ends, you might consider a staycation or a family trip.

Do you need inspiration for traveling?     One source might be Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross is available for Roku. If you like reading, maybe A Place in the World: Finding the Meaning of Home, by Frances Mayes. 

No elaborate plans? Take a day trip outside of your zip code. It will be a great reset.

Sunday

 When my Sunday is a fully day of rest, I am prepared for the upcoming week.  What does rest look like? It begins with a bit of silence and preparing for church services.  Worship music is often a way to recharge  and fill my spirit before leaving our home for church. 

After church services,  we will have brunch and later dinner. 

What would Sunday afternoon be without a nap. 

Sundays are for rest. 

What?

 What is Godliness?

"Godliness means conforming to the character of God in your thoughts, feelings, desires and actions." 

Thursday Thoughts ...

 "Do all the good you can, 

by all the means you can,

 in all the ways you can,

in all the places you can,

at all the times you can, 

to all the people you can, 

as long as ever you can.

- John Wesley
