The week has started much nicer than last week both weather wise and health wise. We were inside most of last week. We are feeling much better but are still coughing more than we would like. We hosted our church's retired minister's group last night with five couples in attendance besides us. That is just about the right size for our condo to handle comfortably so it was okay that a couple couples could not attend. We have a light supper together. We also played the game Catch Phrase which they all seemed to enjoy. We meet on a quarterly basis usually. I am doing a ten hour a week visitation job for our church so did some calls today. This is on a six month trial basis so will see how it goes. I'm not sure I like the interruption of my otherwise very flexible schedule.
The gift of God is the Divine Indwelling. It comes quietly into your frailty at baptism. You become a tabernacle for the Source of Life. When you come to understand this old yet forgotten truth, you will know what is meant by the words heaven on earth. This is it! You are beginning to live heaven on earth in the Divine Indwelling. You, frail earth creature, having given your frailty over to God, have created a place of splendor within the depths of your being, a holy and eternal space where you meet God face to face. Cherish this truth. It is costly grace." from - A Tree Full of Angels by Macrina Wiederkehr
Remember what the prophet Isaiah wrote, "God will keep in perfect peace one whose mind is fixed on God because they trust in God." (Isaiah 26:3) So if I am out of peace I know that I am out of focus. Praying that your soul work is going well.
