About This Blog

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.

TRACKS IN THE SNOW

Monday, fifth week of Lent

Tiny footprints in the snow circled round and round the rushing stream; it looked like two animals had a great game of chase and then wore themselves out. Each set of paw prints returned to the water eventually.

 I have a Father who wants to guide me, as surely as He guides those animals in winter to their food and shelter. If He cares so for these little ones why am I surprised He wants to lead me?

I wonder if I am free to follow my Father's guidance?

Medicine from Sacred Writings:

Let us imitate Christ, and returning to our Father, even though it be late, let us depart from that captivity, and transfer ourselves to freedom, that we may enjoy the Kingdom of heaven, through the grace and loving kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ."
St. Chrysostom Homilies on St. John Homily LXXIX.5 NPNF1; 14.295
