Press into this reality: Peace


Cartoon from Toothpaste for Dinner.

No complaints here.

I'm pressing onto the reality that I had had some serious help today in preparing for the fundraiser breakfast and luncheon for Sunday.

I keep looking around and on my to do list and I see that most everything I was worrying about is done, assigned, or good to go.

One, two, three, four, five, six of the eight student that the fundraiser is for came to help and one, two, three, four who are not attending the trip came to chip in just because. Tables are set, eggs are cracked, and the rigatoni is ready to bake.

Thanks to the two moms who assisted as well.

Usually the night before such events I full of nervous energy, tonight I'm relaxed. In fact the most relaxed I've felt in a long while.

This fact is one I'd like to happen more often in my reality.

If you think of us on Sunday - stop by and have some good eats. If you can't make it here - say a prayer that it all goes well.

Breakfast is 9am-10:30am with scrambled eggs, blueberry cream cheese french toast casserole, sausage, toast, coffee and OJ.

Lunch is Rigatoni with or without meatballs, tossed salad, bread, cookie bars, lemonade or coffee. Lunch runs from 12:30 to 2pm.

As a bonus, there is a free-will pipe organ concert beginning at 2pm.

Breakfast is $3.00 a person or $10.00 per family / Lunch is $5.00 for adults, $3.00 for kids 10 and under and $15.00 per family.

Both meals will take place in the parlors (fellowship room) of First Lutheran Church at 120 Chandler Street in Jamestown NY. Take outs will be available!


Peace.

I'm thinkin' blueberry cream cheese french toast casserole could be very very dangerous! ;-)

I do hope the turnout is good. And how cool is it to have such a good bunch of helpers!

<-- definitely will send good thoughts!
I do hope it goes well.

The blueberry casserole is decadent and I will be eating some in the morning - maybe that will help peel me out of bed at 6 on a Sunday?

St. Brigid Blessings on the Threshold

In preparation for St. Brigid’s day, I consider the blessings that are with us on the threshold.  What are the blessings, neither at the beginning or end, but in the middle.  In transitional spaces that take up most of our days? I think that the threshold can be a space of healing. An opportunity to see things in a new way. A river that takes us to new places of grace. May you feel the presence of love in your thresholds. May it flow from all our beginnings through to each end. May the space of threshold be a balm like lavender, healing our battle wounds. May we find healing in the inbetween. Healing lives on the threshold. #blessings #stbrigid #taralamontart
