Postcards from flyover country

Everyone arrived yesterday on schedule and without much ado. We all settled in for some good times.

Okay, we may have gotten a little silly, but par for the course.

I hope you all are enjoying family time this week and counting your blessings.

Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest home;
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
God our Maker doth provide
For our wants to be supplied;
Come to God’s own temple, come,
Raise the song of harvest home.

–Henry Alford, pub.1844

Raise the song of harvest home

by chuckofish

How was your weekend? I hope it was peaceful and quiet. I spent the weekend getting ready for a houseful of visitors this week. Daughter #1 arrived yesterday and daughter #2 arrives today with DN and Katie. We are ready for some super fun. Unfortunately, everyone has some form of this dread cold (including the boy’s family) and so we will be coughing a lot while having super fun.

C’est la vie.

If only it was that easy.

Have a good week. Keep your focus on the rock of our salvation!

For wherever the soul of man may turn, unless it turns to you, it clasps sorrow to itself…Why do you still choose to travel by this hard and arduous path? There is no rest to be found where you seek it. In the land of death you try to find a happy life: it is not there. How can life be happy where there is no life at all?

–St. Augustine
