Thank you for sharing your wonderings with us. Today’s wonderings seem very much like many Sunday sermons, where Pastor David or Pete or another of our wonderful staff at HOPE Church teach a lesson with only me in the room. I am not alone of course, but the lesson often seems to be directed directly to me, for me to hear and feel deeply because I needed that particular message at that point in my day, week, life.
Your wonderings often spark the same feeling in me. You write something that is simple but so beautifully composed that it opens me up. These are thin places, where I am still enough that I notice the words are for me, and I notice the feeling of with-ness with the Spirit. A lesson has been learned, thanks to stillness and thinness.
Thank you for wondering about: tiny little gestures of with-ness. Tiny little gestures of hope and tiny little gestures of joy.
Scott, Thank you for your encouragement. I wish I had words that might begin to paint picture of how I see you. You have been steady, tangible, and living example of what it means to love God's children and to love them well. I often pray for you, for you specifically, with deep and honest gratitude for our friendship.

I needed this message today.
God Bless you and Kathryn.

Pimento sandwiches have forever changed for me. And I can just imagine the hummingbirds and Abi sharing those sandwiches now!
Thank you, Kris. We are blessed, I think, even when it is so hard for us to see.
