Seeking Sabbath


Romans 15:7

Therefore welcome one another 

as Christ has welcomed you,

for the glory of God. 

~


I am finding it more and more difficult to reconcile myself

with a people claiming to be Christians

when they so obviously and vehemently

disregard the words of the bible.

We are called to love one another

we are called to forgive one another

we are called to serve one another

and we are told do not be afraid.

And yet there are those among us who would block entrance

to entire countries of people, regardless of who they are,

simply because of where they come from.

That is not biblical. 

That is not loving, forgiving, or service-filled.

It smacks of fear and hatred...

Which, by the way, pretty much sums up

the way the Romans felt about Jesus just before they crucified him.

    I agree that we need to be available to those in need of safety and refuge. I do think there is wisdom in making sure that we are truly focusing on letting those people in, not those who would do others in our country harm.

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
