Recovery, Recuperation

Everything starts and ends with family.

Day 0: In Your Prayers

In December, I selected my
One Little Word for the
journey led by Ali Edwards.

My 2015 word:  Seed
At the time I couldn't have possibly
known how the year would unfold,
but here I am continually planting seeds.

If you plant goodness,
you will harvest faithful love.
Plow your ground, and you
will harvest with the Lord.
He will make goodness fall
on you like rain.

                   Hosea 10:12

Day 1: Ready:Okay

Vai com Deus.

Day 2: Count Down

To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition.

                                                                Samuel Johnson

Day 3: Pray Warriors

Heavenly Father,
You alone are most high.
You have not only provide a loving
husband, children, and
extended family but a family of friends.

Thank you for being forever faithful.
For surrounding me with a shield of prayer
warriors lifting my name.

It is the deepest comfort to
know that others care so
much. For it is in the darkest
hours that we know our true
friends.

I praise and glorify your
holy name.

Amen.

Day 5: Proverbs 24:3-4

Hand work is meditative and elevates pain.

Sampler from ClementinePatterns.
One of my favorite readings.

Count Down Day 9

Amici evino devono
essere vecchi.

Wine and friends must
be old.

What a sweet sentiment.

Stitching this 1978 beauty up.
Focusing helps relieve the pain.
Only 9 more days.
