Awareness of God
Welcome to Sabbath Moments, hosted by Colleen at Thoughts on Grace. Visit her to see how God was working in the lives of fellow bloggers this past week.
This week I spent quite a bit of time researching information and examples of the beautiful Lenten hymn, Parce Domine for one of my blog posts. This peaceful work always places me consciously in the presence of God, and makes me appreciate the many treasures of our sacred liturgy.
We had two wonderful days of sunshine and moderate temperatures which allowed us to get some of our spring planting area cleared up and enriched. It involved digging up some day lilies and iris which we are offering to neighbors if they want them. What was extra special about this is the fellow who came to do this work. He knows what he’s doing, is very kind, and the earnings will go to help him with his autistic son and pre-teen daughter. Seeing a devoted father is always inspiring. I got a lot of sunshine, too, for which I am grateful as it always makes me feel better.
Daffodils
Friday at 3:30 a.m. we had a thunderstorm come through that woke me up, giving me extra prayer time in the middle of the night.
The daffodils have been blooming for the past two weeks, their happy yellow blossoms dancing in the breeze. If you leave them alone, they will propagate themselves, giving you surprises every spring.

Hi Barb! I’m glad you got a chance to enjoy some sunny days. We are having a VERY chilly start to Spring here so I don’t expect to see any flowers blooming here for a while. I love daffodils, too! They are one of my favorite flowers (after roses). They ARE a “happy” kind of flower, aren’t they? I like how you worded that!

Thanks, Mary and Jade. My grandmother always had a beautiful flower garden and I was very taken with it from infancy on up. Flowers are always a sign of joy to me.
I love flowers so much as well. But I have never had any kind of green thumb. What a treat to have those daffodils! Love those middle of the night storms! I feel safe in my bed and comfy and a great time to pray, Barb!
