Wow, a reprieve here from the recent rains. And then there is the memory of the snow storm that trampled us last year at this time. We are still cleaning up from that one. We feel lucky for this break in conditions.
Not everything is rosy for Felipé though. I slipped on our wet deck yesterday and landed awkwardly on my right shoulder and hip. And today I am feeling it. I am trying to take it easy, just doing the necessaries. But I will try and walk this afternoon.
Father David was back at Mass this morning. He looked good like folks do after a break. The Bible readings today included one from Matthew were Jesus told his disciples that they were the light of the world. I like the way that reads and sets with me. I can grab onto the shirttails of that and say that I/we are the light of the world also. I think that is accurate as we can definitely mirror that light in our own little corners of the world.
Well, I am not writing a bunch today, feeling groggy. Tomorrow is another day.
taking it slow loves, Felipé.
Hi Felipe,
Hope that almost a week away from the fall the hip and shoulder are feeling better!
Maybe because these days, at work, we are looking at the map with the spots marking where the cases of the coronavirus are, I somehow read your line “we can definitely mirror that light in our little corners of the world” as the same… a large map of the world, and all these bright spots, our hearts, souls and minds, trying to shine and shed some light, as we can even it is through our wounded places, trying to make of this a brighter place…
That is the type of surveillance I would love to be doing everyday!
Shining as we can Love,
Cris
Cris ~ thank you for doing your part with this terrible outbreak. I love that quote from Jesus when he said that his apostles were the light in the world. I seem to remember this as Jesus is the light, well which He is but even better that others are capable. We are capable! Felipé.x
