When Joe comes home from working nights he flops his cap down on the kitchen table. It is an Irish sculls cap and when he wears it with his mask at work they say he looks like a Southie (Irish part of Boston) bank robber. I just like the way it looks on my kitchen table and I’m glad he’s not a bank robber. My sister had to get some scans in Boston and spent the week at my mums. I had them up for dinner one night.

Oh how I want that calm and gentle spirit!
ReplyDeleteI have met people in life who possess this scripture, and they exude such light, and are certainly admirable.
ReplyDeleteSo true! And what a lovely picture to post with this verse. This is a Christmas tree ornament? It looks very rich.
ReplyDeleteGood reminder. I need to allow God to keep developing that gentle aspect of beauty in my heart.
ReplyDeleteThis verse by Peter is lovely, and the purple in the background caught my eye right away, as purple is my favorite color.
