What do you do everyday? one thing or more, well put it into a LO. Tell the story of your every day life. I look forward to seeing what your day is like! Post your LO HERE when you are done.

Celestine Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I did two layouts for this challenge. Daily Grind and Morning Coffee. Can't live without my morning cup o' joe. DH usually makes it because as much as I love it, my brew is usually awful, either too weak or too strong! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScrapgirlCindy Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Great challenge. I do not mind daily chores. While working on this LO I thought of something I had read by Barbara Brown Taylor in her book An Alter In The World, she wrote: While housework may not offer the same satisfaction , it remains a reliable path to the rudiments of life. Cleaning refrigerators and toilets helps you connect the food cycle at both ends. Making beds reminds you that life-giving activities do not require much space. Hanging laundry on the line offers you a chance to fly prayer flags disguised as bath towels and underwear. If all life is holy, then anything that sustains life has holy dimensions too. The difference between washing windows and resting in God can be a simple decision: choose the work, and it becomes your spiritual practice. Spraying vinegar and water on the panes, you baptize the glass. Rubbing away the film, yet repent of your sins. Polishing the glass, you let in the light. No task is too menial to serve as a path. If you are able to sustain other lives along with your own path, then all the better. This is MINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s something about routine and mundane that’s almost comforting at times. I’m so glad I saw your post. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhutan (Asia) has a wonderful cliffside monastery and prayer flags fly in the breeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
