Good Sabbath

Saviour and friend,
how wonderful art Thou!
my companion upon the changeful way,
the comforter of its weariness,
my guide to the eternal town,
the welcome at its gate.

-Alistair Maclean

Hi, Sarah. Just checking in to see where you are on your English jaunt. Travel well, and enjoy some good words.

Hi Steve- nice to hear from you. I actually haven’t begun my jaunt yet, I leave on Thursday, but was up in the mountains with my family over the weekend. I’ll definitely enjoy some good words (trying to decide what novel to take with me on the trip) and will post along the way. Thanks for dropping by!

She has plenty of courage, a strong faith and a native expectancy of good. Living with her is a high adventure.

There's a wideness in God's mercy,

I cannot find in my own

And he keeps his fire burning

To melt this heart of stone,

Keeps me aching, with a yearning,

Keeps me glad to have been caught,

In the reckless, raging fury,

That they call the love of God.
C.S. Lewis

Don't go far from the land,
The seasons have their way,
No mortal can understand...

Faithful... supposed that the harder one's life is the more desperate must be the struggle to find out how to be happy, and the more likely to be successful.
