That Jesus loves us! That’s about all we are certain of these days!!!
Happy Easter!! He is Risen!!!
Today has been a wonderful day of exploring and discovering so many amazing things!! We started the day visiting our favorite Owls – and we were so happy to meet the newest member of their family!!
Momma (pictured) and Daddy owls were close by and we tried to keep our distance and stay pretty quiet.
Look! All creation joins in Hallelujahs!
Today we anticipate Easter! This “hymn of comfort” is not a hymn, but we thought that the beautiful melody prepared us for the joy that will come in the morning! This is Sicilienne by Maria Theresia von Paradis (1759-1824).
This weekend has been so beautiful. So many reminders of God’s love for us. The most important reminder …. is tomorrow!
Wren’s Hymn of Comfort:
We had a storm today while we were recording the Hymn of Comfort. It was so powerful and beautiful and terrible all at the same time. This is Holy Week, and we have a lot to reflect on the powerful, beautiful and terrible reality of what Christ endured. Wren’s Hymn of Comfort is When I Survey the Wondrous Cross, and she wrote the second part. I’m also including a video of the storm so you can see what we were watching while she played!
As the numbers continue to rise, and the curve is struggling to flatten, we realize our need! Here is Wren’s hymn of comfort!
These past few days have been spectacular! A doxology seems appropriate for today – Here is Wren’s hymn of comfort for today. Also, scroll to the bottom to hear Creation’s doxology…
Walks with Wren and Rick while birding and talking help me focus on the good parts of our current situation! I love Wendell Berry. Knowing and spending time in the same place is very important to him. His poetry demonstrates his understanding of place (his home).
In this poem, he’s inviting us to know about the place where we live. This opportunity is giving some of us the opportunity to be home- in the same place – much more than we might choose. I’m trying to notice new things, and things that change in this little one acre place I call home. I am thankful that I can also expand my understanding of place beyond my 1-acre yard so that I can visit forest preserves as well. Here are some of my favorite sightings over the weekend – many from out my sunroom window!
Today’s hymn of comfort.
