i like…
old bookstores,
the smell of coffee brewing,
rainy day naps,
Sundays,
and
watching the sun rise.
I like the sweet simple things that remind me that life doesn’t have to be complicated to be beautiful.
hugs n’ blessings for those with their nose in a (good) book!
a few simple things:
A hot cup of coffee to sip on.
A weathered Bible to read from.
A front porch to sit on.
A good man to grow old with.
A few kids to carry on.
A blest life to be grateful for.
hugs n’ blessings for the many things that make a good day!
Yesterday was the Feast of the Archangels St. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. This feast is popularly called “Michaelmas.” St. Michael (“Who is like God?”) is the Archangel who fought Satan. He is the protector of all people and reminds the faithful of the real existence of the Devil and demonic activity. He is invoked for protection from the snares of the devil. St. Gabriel (“Strength of God”) announced to St. Zechariah the birth of St. John the Baptist and to the Blessed Virgin Mary the birth of Christ. His greeting to Our Lady, “Hail, full of grace,” is one of the most familiar and frequent prayers of the Church. St. Raphael (“Medicine of God”) is the Archangel who cared for Tobias on his journey. This day honors the archangels in various Christian traditions. The feast has roots dating back to the 5th century, initially celebrated in Rome. This feast day is a time for reflection, gratitude, and community, celebrating the protective role of St. Michael in Christian tradition. But most importantly a time for remembering who exactly we have on our side, in the battles we sometimes face.
