LOVE, SPIRIT

Thursday and Friday are together. The kids had snow days and I had Kasiah overnight and Talan decided to come out on Firday and play in the snow. Two of the people I love with great spirit.

EVIL

Today's word is evil. Last year I took a photo that was scary. It was an assignment that was supposed to be dark. For me it is like the tree would like to swallow whatever enters. Just like evil would like to lead you in and not let go. Now to find the photo.

Another prompt is world. On Sunday, I had the opportunity to go to Lincoln and be a part of a Mission event at the home of Randy Daubert. Randy is a part of the mission committee at Trinity United Methodist church. There were folks at this event from the Nigeria/Nebraska Partnership committee and the church. Among the church members is a family from another part of Nigeria, I believe the south. It was really interesting to visit with them and try foods from Africa. This is such a reminder that we are a part of the world that interacts so much more than ever before.

RETURN

Only a few days into lent and I am already way behind. One of the prompts is return. I'm not sure for which day. Winter returned after a day of much higher than normal temperatures. I went out and caught a few photos of the snow. It is such a dry time now that any moisture is most welcome. The return of winter and of moisture renews faith and reminds us that faith is all we have. We must have faith that rain will come again,  the seasons will continue and the sun will come up in the morning. We often forget how small we are, that we have no control and that nature will return with what we need. We are blessed!

OK! I'm doing this thing from RETHINK CHURCH for lent. There is a promt every day to do a photograph. (This is one from Christmas. I lent my camera to Wes for the day.) Then you can post them or journal. I decided to do it on this blog. First of all, because I never get around to blogging and this would be a good time to start again. Maybe this will get me in touch with myself and my spirit. Maybe not.

The first promt was "Who am I?" I'm wife, mom, daughter, sister, grandmother and hopefully friend.

That should be good enough for today. I have a life to live, too.
