#Live Wonderstruck Wednesdays : Tree photo capture

Today from author Margaret Feinberg:

The wonders of God’s creation surround us—
from slinging comets to creating the scaly creatures that slither around the earth,
God is the Master Creator. [Tweet this] 

Take a walk around your yard or nearby park.
Find a tree, plant, flower, or piece of vegetation and really study it.
Notice the vines, leaves, colours, smells, and textures.

Spend a few moments thanking God for his intimate design.

Wonder Challenge:

Snap a photo of the piece of vegetation you studied and
share on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. [Tweet this]
Use hashtag #LIVEWONDERSTRUCK so that we can thank God for his beautiful creation together.

Join us each Wednesday for Wonderstruck Wednesday.
#LIVEWONDERSTRUCK by God ...

LENT: 40 Days of Renewal

1. Oddly this year, the second day of Lent was Valentine's Day. 

How was this for you? 

Was Valentine's Day any different being in Lent?

For me, there was an increased gratitude for God's Love,
even an anticipation.  Definite difference in the Love focus.
Reading Ken Wytsma's debut, 'Pursuing Justice', redirected thoughts on Love
with his discussion of our current culture's definition vs Yeshua's example
and call to Love in selflessness...

2. Did you celebrate Mardi Gras/Shrove Tuesday this year?
Any memories of memorable celebrations past?

 I celebrated with a blog post specifically as preparation for Lent
[along with a great pancake recipe!]
Great memories of celebrating - church family working + eating together -
participation!

3. How about Ash Wednesday, past and/or present? 

Providing disabled residents with Ash Wednesday services is a fave memory...

4. Do you have a personal plan of give-ups, take-ons, special ministries,
and/or a special focus for your own spiritual growth between now and Easter?
Giving up distractions to my spiritual focus as learnt HERE
There is a re-awakening to Awe and Wonder of God in my 
spiritual growth that I am pursuing with expectancy!

5. Do you have a book or a website you are reading often during Lent?

 I love Ian Adams' Morning Bell on FB, Ann Voskamp's blog  Holy Experience ,
have joined the Abbey of the Arts Lent photo group on FLickr,
Margaret Feinberg for more on Wonder,
and downloaded a booklet from Michelle DeRusha HERE
while I work at posting my own Lenten journey of Wonder
in photo and quote on Pinterest 

Bonus:  Song, prayer, picture, etc. that sums up your feelings
about this liturgical springtime.

Be blessed in your expectancy !

21 Days of Wonder: Letter #LIVEWONDERSTRUCK

Gratitude provides the opportunity to celebrate
the breadth and depth of God’s wonder.[Tweet this]
Today, write a letter to God—maybe even a love letter.
Express your affections to God.
Thank him for all that he’s done for you and all that he has yet to do. 

Thank him for those big, little, and long-forgotten things
and allow your soul to dance in the wonders of gratitude.

Wonder Challenge: Tweet, post, fb or pin a line from your letter. 

Or, as have I, post a photo.

living with Christ at the centre...

joining with Ann Voskamp at Holy Experience today on the topic ,
"the Discipline of Living Christ-Centric"...

for me the discipline of living Christ-centric begins, as i wrote in my previous post, 
the beginning of each day turned back to the Giver.
the Creator of the gift of the new day. 
seeking the direction, the will of God for me in living each day. 
pleasing, serving, delighting. 

then living that gift with a sense of awe and wonder. 

recognizing God's Presence in it, on it, flowing through it. 

and being amazed... not taking things for granted.

source

beauty.  joy.  warmth.  hospitality.  change.  routine. 
Life.  Light.  revelation.  interpretation.  understanding. 
aha! moments.

living with an awareness of Christ 'in all'. 
looking for it with expectation
anticipation.
with gratitude...

may you be blessed in your Living today.
