Sunday

What Brought Me Joy Today-
singing the last choir song of the season
sharing a hymnal
laughing with Anna and Hannah in the choir loft
singing the Alto part
coffee during fellowship hour
Josh teaching on poetry in Sunday School
my beautiful pink flowers from Phillip :)
going to Magic Wok with the Shaffers
singing along to country music on the radio with the windows rolled down
driving exactly the speed limit
playing Clue and Life with my siblings and Phillip
Shakespeare in the Park
Juggling Jeff's amazing show
cardigans

Verse of the Day-
Luke 13:18-20

He said therefore, "What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches."
And again He said, "To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? It is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened."

Poem of the Day-
Im Memoriam M.K.H. by Seamus Heaney

The cool that came off the sheets just off the line
Made me think the damp must still be in them
But when I took my corners of the linen
And pulled against her, first straight down the hem
And then diagonally, then flapped and shook
The fabric like a sail in a cross-wind,
They made a dried-out undulating thwack.
So we'd stretch and fold and end up hand to hand
For a split second as if nothing had happened
For nothing had that had not always happened
Beforehand, day by day, just touch and go,
Coming close again by holding back
In moves where I was x and she was o
Inscribed in sheets she'd sewn from ripped-out flour sacks
