THOUGHTS ON THURSDAY;; BEING 13.2.14

ON BEING . . . *

Thursday February 13, 2014 Celebrating Being Alive Birthdays are so important. On our birthdays we celebrate being alive. On our birthdays people can say to us, "Thank you for being!" Birthday presents are signs of our families' and friends' joy that we are part of their lives. Little children often look forward to their birthdays for months. Their birthdays are their big days, when they are the center of attention and all their friends come to celebrate. We should never forget our birthdays or the birthdays of those who are close to us. Birthdays keep us childlike. They remind us that what is important is not what we do or accomplish, not what we have or who we know, but that we are, here and now. On birthdays let us be grateful for the gift of life.

 May God, the source of hope,
fill you completely with joy and shalom
as you continue trusting, so that by the power of the Ruach HaKodesh you may overflow with hope.

THURSDAY THOUGHTS 23.1.14

 Head indoors with me for a Cuppa?!
*

From The Gilded Teapot  {Tearoom in Dorchester Dorset England}
*
The polar vortex is having its way here too! But we know there's always an end in sight, and...
Tea definitely proves itself delightful whilst sitting indoors during -31C weather!
* Stay warm everyone!
