As we reflect on every aspect of the day—waking, showering and dressing, eating, commuting, relating with others, difficulties and challenges at work, moments of pleasure and pain, consolation and desolation, decision-making, interacting with the news and needs of the world, returning home, the evening spent with friends or family, working late, crawling into bed—we can ask God, “Show me where you were present, making the ordinary extraordinary.”
In my experience, God always uses this prayer to heighten my awareness of divine presence in the ordinary moments of my life. When we incorporate this simple practice into our daily routine, Ordinary Time becomes anything but ordinary!
-Ruth Haley Barton
“The incredible gift of the ordinary! Glory comes streaming from the table of daily life.”- Macrina Wiederkehr
fun lunch out yesterday with Byron since the kids did not have school yesterday
(Byron is the super cool senior at UW who is living with us this year... so far, so good!)
what's not to smile about when there's chocolate fondue in the room?
Tamara brightened up our kitchen with these lovely flowers last night -
so thankful for this burst of color on this rainy weekend!
These flowers were brought to us from Tamara in my dad's honor...
What a gift to know that so many folks are praying and cheering for him!
