"Those seeking the life of the spirit should be cheerful and free, and not neglect recreation. Married people must act in conformity with their vocation--but their progress will of necessity be but the pace of a hen." --Teresa of Avila
"Some things God can teach us only very slowly, at the pace of walking, the speed of life." --Arthur Paul Boers, The Way Is Made by Walking
At A Hen's Pace
What does a hen do all day? Nothing but walk about in endless circles, pecking at this or that--yet she is one of the most creative and productive of God's creatures. Though my days may take me in circles, I pray for the daily fruitfulness of a hen as I nurture the four boys and two girls God has given us.
--For our move to WI, and a smooth transition for the kids Praise the Lord!
--For Christian friends here for our three teenagers (Praise God for the Christian school that Blondechick and B14 are attending!)
--For the core team--that God would send others to enlarge and strengthen it with needed gifts and abilities
--For Papa Rooster--that he would hear the Lord clearly as he leads the core team and sets direction for the church
--For Barbara, for healing from Stage IV cancer, and her family (Praise God that her treatment is over, and she is currently cancer-free!)
--For the new theater group we helped to start (praise God for Christian teachers and directors to staff it, and for families and kids who joined! May it be a ministry to the Kenosha area.)
(All proceeds go to Light of Christ Anglican Fellowship, a church plant in Kenosha, WI.)
