I read this week’s Manna in a hotel room in NYC! Amy and Eliza took me there for a few days…it was a sweet time of reminiscing and sharing of new experiences. Yesterday I joined a GriefShare group at our church and reread Manna this AM….your words were so beautifully expressive of my current state in life….I thank the Lord for our gift of friendship in him and the way you are lifting Him up through your family and your many gifts. Your visit was a huge “lifter”!
Oh Beth, I am so deeply grateful to hear!! You have some incredible grandchildren who have learned how to be compassionate and present from YOU. What an example you are to us all. Love you dearly, Beth!
I love that Porter’s Gate song so much! I preached on it at Christmas, in fact. And thank you as always for these beautiful paintings. I so appreciate the beauty you create
Oh that is so special to hear, Frances! I would love to listen to or read your sermon! And thank you for your very kind words about the painting. Means so much. 💛
Bless you, dear friend, as you navigate through difficult waters, and thank you for sharing this journey with your readers. I was glad to see your photo with Beth Meyer; Bill served at the church in Washington, PA, where we began our ministry. We saw them at Chautauqua many years ago. I'm sure it was healing for her to see you in person.
Thank you so much, dear Kathy!! Beth and Bill cherished you and were the first to tell me about you! I have them to thank for bringing you into my life — what a gift! I love how the Spirit weaves all these threads of friendship together. I treasure you, my friend, and my prayers continue for your family!

It's a wintering season no doubt. That poem reminds me of the Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald. Such a lovely book about the faith journey.
Thank you for reminding me of that story, Anne! I want to return to it!
