Praying For Connection
Wondering. I am not sure what I have to give, but I believe it will unfold as I ease into these keys. I do know with some certainty a few lovely things about you and me. I know you are reading my words, and that you can pause whenever you like. I know we are under the same sky as every one else on earth, breathing the same air and full of life. And I know that you are beautiful.
Knitting Appreciation
I’m not much of a knitter. I can count on my fingers the knitting projects I have begun, and count on one hand the ones I have successfully completed, mostly thanks to sewing class in school.
But I’m fascinated with and appreciate all the little household arts and tasks that General Church women do, and how much these add to the lives of those around them. Sometimes it’s the mundane, daily tasks that bring a touch of heaven to those around us. The things women create need to be celebrated because they’re not the sorts of things that make headlines, and yet they represent the sphere in which we are nurtured.
A Special Thank You
I would like to give credit to the very talented Ayisha Synnestvedt who created the gorgeous pastel artwork especially for this blog. The beautiful image is of a woman inside the Holy City New Jerusalem. Wow! Thank you, Ayisha!
