Saturday, fifth week of Lent
Wind whistled through the huge pines as I walked in the late afternoon sun, and under the snow the earth was waiting to give new life. Flowers come, drinks are shared, laughter resounds, laundry is sorted, dinners devoured and pies eaten; these memories created today will be strung together like a strand of pearls. I choose joy in what has been placed before me and let go of all the tension, the arguments, the questions without answers and I surrender to the moments of joy and sorrow. Like wind blowing through the air, the power of God brings life and life abundant; I open my heart to the possibilities.
What have you witnessed today?
Medicine from Sacred Scripture:
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change." James 1:17
"If we come to the Physician, if we ask Him, He will not hide from us, but will eagerly disclose to us which of these medicines make us whole." John Chrysostom Fourth Century Homily. Medicine heals our bodies and soul medicine brings healing to our souls. Come find the medicine your heart longs for; learn from the Sacred Writings of the early church fathers and from Sacred Scripture and be made whole.

- Come peer through the lens of Sacred Writings and Scripture to know ourselves and be made whole. There is always medicine to apply in our lives: emotional, relational, social and spiritual. My prayer is that the words of the early church and scripture will inform our identity and bring us healing that equips us to know and serve God with all our hearts.
