Seasons of Nature
Remembrance
On All Saint’s Day and at the Celtic Samhuinn, we recall the lives of dear ones now passed from sight. As the Autumn leaves turn color and fall… we bask in the memory of those now gone. Lighting a candle in the dark of the year; and in our minds visit with them once again. How blessed we are to have them with us still… if only in our hearts.

Faith and Belief
Strength
A reflection on Oswald Chamber’s message that God does not give us overcoming life -but rather gives us life as we overcome. The strain and problems provide the strength needed to see our way through to calmer and better days. God walks beside and hold us up all the way long. And so, we come to know peace once more.
