“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” ~Matthew 11:28-30
Even in the midst of all the upheaval in 2020, there is beauty to be found, there is rest. May God bless you this day.

“To bear witness to God the Father, to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, and to be guided by the Holy Spirit.”
~ Parish of St. Michael the Archangel
I love the mission statement, quoted above, of the Parish of St Michael the Archangel. What an amazing goal and purpose for a church in this modern age.
We were on a drive and spotted this beautiful bird on the steeple of St. Catherine of Sienna. (Merged in 2010 with Parish of St. Michael the Archangel.)
““As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down you cannot see something that is above you.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
“There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet; but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away.”
~Henry Ward Beecher
The modern world chooses not to honor God’s truths or hear his voice. In many churches world views contrary to God’s word are condoned in the name of love. I plan to keep looking up, my eyes and spirit focused on God’s truths, instead of being in agreement with what the world considers politically correct.

It’s always a thrill to look out the window and see a hawk in one of our trees. The songbirds aren’t happy and scatter for hours when the hawk visits, but the beauty of the bird thrills me, especially when he poses for me so prettily.
“A skilled hawk hides his talons.”
~ Japanese Proverb
“Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.” Isaiah 40:26
I enjoy looking up. This week the moon glowed faintly in the sky even while the sun shone bright. The moon in the sky during daylight hours? What’s up with that? We’ve all seen it from time to time. Here’s a good explanation: Why Can I See the Moon in the Daytime? I tried to take a picture of that daytime moonglow, but it didn’t show up in the downloaded photo. Around the edges of my photograph there is a little surprise. Do you see it? If you click on the image it will enlarge the photo.
Sometimes our goals lead us to blessings around the edges. Don’t forget in the pursuit of your goals to glance now and then around the edges of your life too. You might be missing something wonderful.
