PRAYER TO OUR LORD IN HIS TRANSFIGURATION
O Lord, praise and thanksgiving for all Your graces and
blessings. You are the Light of the World Who takes away all
darkness and sin.
Open, O Lord, my eyes, so that I may see the beauty of Your
creation and of your ineffable love.
Enlighten, O Lord, my thoughts, so that I may understand
the truth that Moses and Elijah bring, that You are indeed the One
foretold by the Prophets and the Commandments.
Bless, O Lord, my heart, so that I may trust fully in Your
power and protection.
Take away, O Lord, my fear of descending from my Mount
Tabor of glory, towards my Jerusalem of suffering, because by
Your passion and death, You have redeemed me.
All my doubts, fears, trials, plans and dreams, I offer to You.
My life, my family, and my community, I also offer to Your
redeeming light and love.
Allow me, O Lord, to heed your call for compassion and
service to others.
May I thus be counted among God’s faithful children so that
one day, the Father may also say, “This is My beloved son, in
whom I delight.”
Amen.
Yesterday, A friend and I went down to the beach for a much needed "girls day". She will be having her first beautiful baby boy any day now. What a beautiful blessing you are in everyone's life..K~ We can't wait to see Baby Luke.
I acually have a bunch of photos from yesterday so I hope you'all don't get bored of them.
We had such a wonderful time, we had the beach to ourselves and between the handfulls of sand being thrown on us by Jared, it was very peaceful. I have found through these shots that even if it is bright as can be and the sun was a bit harsh that you can still have fun and take some good photos,,,,work through the challange, huh...lol. Although It was quite a bit windy and I was trying to walk and take photos...we were able to relax and have fun...that is worth it all. It came up in conversation ...that as parents or just being a mother we love to show our children the things we love. Here in the top shot we have the outdoors, the beach, a plane, adventure and love. She(Kristy) is already influencing that precious baby more than she even realizes every minute of every day. She will be a wonderful mother~
HUgs and I hope you all have a great day~ Andrea

carved-in blessing above the door of an old timber-framed house.
it says in ancient german: may the lord guard your coming and going.
These kind of inscriptions were very common in 16th century. Whether to write down the name and vita of the builder or wishes or blessings. Other examples you can find in my stream

I am sitting here today..transfering photos to an external, cleaning up the computer and making my laptop say "ahhhhhhh...thank you!" lol. So in the next few days I will be posting a few shots that I just never got around to posting from the last few months.
This shot is from the Garden of the Gods...it's not one of my fave's but I still find it interesting. I need to get back up there and take the shot again from a different angle..I know I can do better. Non-the less. Have a beautiful day my friends~ Andrea 4/365
I want to be where
your bare foot walks,
because maybe before you step,
you will look at the ground.
I want that blessing.

This was next on our agenda after the abandoned house. This church looks quite charming. Unfortunately, the Talking Murals were not on display.
