I manage the the diocesan group Facebook page, and change the splash picture weekly. In Advent, i have been choosing pictures which illustrate some aspect of the Sunday lectionary. <br /><br />I was looking around the interwebs for <br /><br />A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse,<br />and a branch shall grow out of his roots.<br /><br />"The spirit of the Lord shall rest on him,<br />the spirit of wisdom and understanding, <br />the spirit of counsel and might, <br />the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord"<br /><br />One one of the first, and most striking, images, was one from this page, which I stole. I couldn't find any information on your page regarding copyright or Creative Commons licensing, but, from the content and tenor of your material, I thought you might not mind. <br /><br />If it is okay with you that I did that, please let me know. If it is NOT okay, *definitely* let me know, and I will take it down. <br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/groups/237296519713906/<br />DeaconScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15087226738412713460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325777158326348420.post-88476407255319512222016-12-04T14:08:52.177+03:002016-12-04T14:08:52.177+03:00This comment has been removed by the author.DeaconScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15087226738412713460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325777158326348420.post-36188509686543602862016-11-13T22:42:47.784+03:002016-11-13T22:42:47.784+03:00Beautifully said....

It is so true for many who are very thankful and grateful that we can be sad at the same time. I am elderly, so are my beloved sisters and brother, and every holiday could be our last. We do want our children near but are thankful we have them, wherever they are. I am sure your folks are thankful you are doing the work you are doing. That doesn't take away your sadness or pain. My husband suffered a fall and concussion last Sat, he is 80, so I am thankful the main problem is he lost his hearing and it is coming back, but I am sad he hasn't been able to enjoy the visit of our daughter and her family and grandchildren, our great grandchildren. Sadness isn't a sin, sometimes it would be crazy not to be sad. Take heart, I sit here in Rockport, you are doing what I never did and I applaud you and your husband for that work. God loves you, we love you.Rockport Conservativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08472979749733378317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325777158326348420.post-43580370168206834462015-11-11T10:18:27.723+03:002015-11-11T10:18:27.723+03:00Thank you for your post.

This one especially encouraged me to cherish even more washing out dirty 2T undies for the 4th time today, watching "this" just one more time and especially tucking my 3 babies into one bed under one roof. We are still aiming to move to Kenya in July. Excited to hopefully see you again and meet Ruthie at RVA in August!

Looking back over my life I can see that everything I might have wanted was not what God had in mind. I am still learning I am doing some better but I have a long way to go, probably always will as long as I am earthbound. May God hold you in the palm of His hand and next to His heart.
