Monday Manna
Kindness and Beauty...
Good morning, friends, and deep hope, peace, love, and joy to you this week ~
I just returned from some travel, so today’s post is going to be different and short. I want to share with you two things, both of which I believe will deeply nourish you — a “kindness” video made by kids at our church, and the incredible photography of my friend,
, who set my Autumn Prayer to photography in his Substack last week.So first, the video on “What is Kindness,” told through the voices and lives of four through eleven-year-olds a few weeks ago. 💛 This was put together by a handful of kids at our church (including mine), directed by our wonderful Lindley Traynor. It is worth the three minutes of your time, my friends. As we think about what the world needs most right now, it is this.
Secondly, I shared in my Monday Manna last week the prayer “For Autumn” from my book, Ash and Starlight: Prayers for the Chaos and Grace of Daily Life, Second Edition. My talented friend,
, set the prayer to his photography later in the week. Give yourself another gift by looking at these images and soaking in the beauty. The link is here, and below.Okay, friends, that’s all for now. I will be back next week with more of the usual. And for paid subscribers, be watching your email this week for your early Christmas present of the downloadable “Peace On Earth” watercolor print.
Be kind. Find and create beauty. That alone will do some incredible healing work today.
Love and Light,
Arianne
