Serenity, Indeed!

Little did I realize when I titled my last blog post "Serenity"
just how that word would be fleshed out in the following days.
I spent Thursday evening through Saturday morning
with friends at McClish Lake, where one of them owns a cottage.
 The experience has become an annual tradition
that I look forward to so much.
This year, I took with me the book I recently purchased for myself
after glancing at a library copy.
I was not disappointed with even one minute I spent reading Elisabeth Leseur's journal.
"Serenity" kept appearing on the pages in various forms.
I could not escape it!
In one section, she outlined her practice of daily meditation,
a monthly day of reflection and prayer,
and an annual week-long retreat.
I realized this has become my practice apart from specific intention.
How thankful I am
for THIS particular monthly day spent in reflection and prayer
in the encouraging company of true friends.
Serenity, indeed!
I strongly recommend the book.
I celebrate the aforementioned practice.
I enjoy these special friendships...

    1. It was....the weather was "perfect", too. Just what the Lord ordered for me in His love and grace.

    1. I always am nervous when I recommend a book. Have found that so much depends on one's stage in life, etc. I wonder what you'll think of it :)
