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.

my helper

O God, by your name save me, and by your might defend my cause.

O God, hear my prayer; hearken to the words of my mouth.

Behold, God is my helper; the Lord sustains my life.
Freely will I offer you sacrifice;
I will praise your name, O LORD, for its goodness.

Psalm 54:3-4, 6 & 8.

Christ has now reconciled you to present you holy and unblemished before him.

(*See Colossians 1:21-23)

endurance & patience

A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Colossians:
Brothers and sisters: From the day we heard about you, we do not cease praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, so as to be fully pleasing, in every good work bearing fruit and growing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with every power, in accord with his glorious might, for all endurance and patience, with joy giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light. He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the Kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Colossians 1:9-14
