Day 31: Love
One of my favorite Lenten/Holy Week hymns is “What Wondrous Love Is This.” I truly appreciate the melding of words and music.
This hymn encapsulates much of my Holy Week worship and adoration.
Praise God, I am redeemed. 
Day 30: Worthy
“Worthy” reminds me so much of the final chorus from Handel’s Messiah: “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.”
I loved singing the Messiah! This worshipful, dynamic chorus at the end of such musical beauty? And then, the Amen after that? Truly, a marvelous experience.
Day 23: Nurture
Our cat #MaryTheCat is sweet and affectionate.
My husband says she nestles in my lap because I am warm and nurturing, and Mary knows that I am a mama.
That may be true, but I know that Mary is a comfort to me, too.

Day 17: Unfolding
With Lent coming as the winter blossoms into spring, I can’t help but think of unfolding in association with early spring flowers.
This photo is from last spring, when my husband Kevin and I went to one of my favorite places, the Chicago Botanic Garden. Unfolding!
Day 15: Direction
Yesterday was the anniversary of my ordination, March 15, 2017.
What a wonderful day to remember! Certainly, a day for me to affirm the direction my life has taken for the past 20 years. My anniversary, or ordiversary (as the wonderful group RevGalBlogPals says!).
Praise God for direction.
