The Rose Garden: morning

morning

Man has gone to work

I hear wakeful noises, calling

Mama comes in the dark

little face squints at the light

back down creaking stairs with snuggles

a dry diaper

early noonies in the cozy rocker by the fire

Debbie in CA : ) said...: Your blog invites me in with the utmost of simplicity, the sweetness of a hearth well-tended, and the tranquility of one at peace in herself and the world . . . though not of it. I delight in coming to your rose garden. May you be blessed for the gift you have shared so freely and beautifully.; February 19, 2009 at 12:53 PM

'When he began, he said to God with a filial trust, "O my God, since Thou are with me, and I must now, in obedience to Thy commands, apply my mind to these outward things, grant me the grace to continue in Thy presence; and prosper me with Thy assistance. Receive all my works, and possess all my affections." As he proceeded in his work, he continued in his familiar conversation with his Maker, imploring His grace, and offering Him all his actions.'
