Words of Wisdom

The God Who made the wole world and everything in it

is the Lord of the land and the sky . . .

This God is the One who gives

life, breath, and everything else to people.

Acts 17: 24 - 25

Great are the works of the LORD,

they are pondered by all who delight in them.

Psalm 111: 2

While waiting for my husband,

who was getting a business permit,

I stolled around with my camera

and caught sight of this beautiful tree

and the calico stray

basking in the warmth of the sun.

A Story:

My favorite moment with you:

". . . we were rushing to get to a radio interview [in San Francisco],

so I was race-walking along the piers at Fort Mason,

and you were dreamily watching the seagulls and pelicans

and scanning the water for seals.

I was begging you to hurry it up,

but at the same time

I remember dropping a book,

and my papers were all disorganized,

and I wa trying to shove stuff back

 into my Fibber McGee purse,

and you stopped.

Quote:

You said to me sternly,

"Mom, you'e moving too fast,

and you're carrying too much."

I still think, to this day,

that that explains what's going on

whenever I start to get crazy."

 Novelist AnnieLamott told this story to her son Sam

when asked to sit down with him

and converse

with MORE magazine

April 2012 edition.

Annie has a new book out--

Some Assembly Required:

A Journal of My Son's First Son

May you take time this week to slow down.

enjoy God's beauty,

and patiently 'be' with a child'

or someone at any age

who needs your time.

Blessings as you begin your week.
