From The Restory - Conversations On The Journey (140)

Advent: Peace

“Will you not revive us again,

so that your people may rejoice in you?

Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,

and grant us your salvation.

Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet;

righteousness and peace will kiss each other.”

‭‭Ps 85‬:‭6-7‭‬, ‭10‬ NRSV‭ ‬‬

A house renovated and painted with a new bathroom, the arrival of spring and rain, retreats, the CMR's knitting marathon, presenting and finishing the Refresher course in spiritual guidance, attending our granddaughter Ariana's graduation before she goes to big school next year.

With our love, as always. George & Matilda
