~ by Christine Valters Paintner
Released September 2018
~ Unique and useful insights shared for our growth spiritually as we pursue our faith life and journey.  Ms Paintner is adept at instructing new thought and practice, gently and creatively.  Which is essential to our comprehension and willingness to interpret life changes.
~ Moving in these new directions of discernment the creative responses inspired by our
"soul's slow ripening" to sweetness is pure art.. 
The Celtic ways and practices presented resonate at deeper and creative levels than a sole focus of the intellectual discernment.
~ I'm delighted to have these options and examples from early saints.
 As well as learning to hear and heed the seasonal calls and rhythms of God's Spirit.  Invitations to themed contemplative walks,  inspiring writing, art, poetry
 all influenced by God's creation in landscape and seasons,
 will undoubtedly influence a new way of seeing and being.

And as a spiritual director, soul friend,
this also is an exploration of benefit to the blessing of others.    ~

21 Days of Wonder: 'Sunset' #LIVEWONDERSTRUCK

Day 15 from Margaret:

God’s creation invites us to open our eyes to ten thousand wonders. [Tweet this]
Take time to watch the sunset and admire God’s handiwork.
Consider setting an alarm so you don’t miss it, and invite a friend.
You can check online to find out what time the sun will dip below the horizon where you live.
Depending on your location, you may want to travel to a hill
or tall building nearby to catch a better view.

Observe the sky and the shape of the clouds.
Watch how the light shifts and changes ever so slowly.
Look for colors and hues, even if it’s a cloudy day.
Spend a few moments thanking God for his wondrous goodness and gifts
which he shares with all of humanity day in and day out.
Share the beauty you see by snapping a photo of the sunset.

21 Days of Wonder: 'SKY'

God’s sanctuary in the sky awaits us all.

Take fifteen minutes to look, really look, at all the lights in the sky—
the disc that is the moon, the Milky Way, the stars,
even the planes that shoot across night’s canopy.
Even if there’s light pollution, take note of the shadows and the textures above.

As you observe the lights—those created by God and others crafted by humankind—
reflect on the promise God made to Abraham thousands of years ago
that his descendants would be more numerous than all the stars in the sky (Genesis 15:5).

Consider God’s faithfulness in your own life and journey.
Snap a photo of what you see.

Wonder Challenge:
