Thank you for your continued ministry. I have my own pain to work through but I have learned that there is blessing in the pain in that the Father is always with us and Jesus who experienced unimaginable pain holds our hand if we but let him. God bless.

That's beautiful, Tanya. Thank you.

I particularly love the magnolia blooms "like cupped hands" (I grew up calling them Tulip Trees) and "He comes like spring". So true.

Were you able to (un)verify the lection for today that I saw your post about on FB?

Hi! I was told that the lectionary was the lectionary. Which is a shame. But my editor let me do passages outside of the lectionary, so all was good!
