when illness hits we should remember that this period of time is part of the whole life. this is not just a non-time to be shoved aside, but a portion of time that counts. it is part of the well person’s life, as well as part of the sick person’s life (95).

reflections from What Is a Family? by Edith Schaeffer…picture from Thanksgiving at the Owl House: my effort to follow Mental multivitamin’s good advice to get in the picture!
Beautiful photo :: beautiful family :: beautiful reflections. I hope your Thanksgiving was filled with love, warmth, good company, and delicious food.
(Did a postcard arrive at your house from me?)
yes, yes! we got your card 🙂 and one is headed your way now! have a wonderful afternoon, friend!
Such a beautiful photo! Excellent things on which to meditate. I need to get back into some Edith, it has been such a long time. I think in times of struggle within a family, it is good to rest on the knowledge that our Maker is working to refine each of us.
