Psalm 67:1-2
May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations.
Have a blessed Sunday everyone!
Today is the start of Creativity Boot Camp, and it's pushed me to journal again. Before we were married, I journaled more than daily, but since then it has been infrequent at best. It's something that I have noticed missing, an outlet that has disappeared, but that I'm certainly looking forward to regaining. So, here's to a renewal of old habits, to self-discovery, to the realization of how much of a blessing we all are to one another. (Lyrics on the left-hand page are from the Fleet Foxes "Helplessness Blues".)
For the beautiful and talented Bonnie.

If flowers'n'blossoms be blessings from Nature…
I see blessings as blossoms, along Life's way …

Kohanim or Cohanim Hands – Priestly Blessing
On Jewish tombstones you will sometimes see a symbol showing two hands arranged for the Priestly Blessing like the example here. This is a symbol of the Kohen or Cohen (Hebrew for priest). The plural form is Kohanim or Cohanim. Kohanim are assumed to be direct male descendants of Aaron, who was the first Kohen and the brother of Moses. Some Jewish surnames frequently associated with this symbol are Conn or Cohn (Kohn), Cahn (Kahn), and Cohen (Kohen), but you will find the symbol on the grave markers of people with other surnames. Today families can sometimes verify a priestly lineage from the tombstones of ancestors that have this symbol.
The greatest difficulty spiritually is to
concentrate upon God, and His bles-
sings are what make it so difficult.
Troubles almost always make us look
to God, but His blessings tend to divert
our attention elsewhere.

The monument to the Seraphim Bishop of Dmitrov. Martyr for the faith, is officially recognised as such in 2000, Bishop Seraphim, in the world Zvezdinskiy, suffered for the faith under the Soviet regime.
Actually, the oppression of the Church touched him back in the early 1920s, when the authorities sentenced him to exile, then it several times arrested and exiled.
Priest during his lifetime enjoyed considerable influence and respect among parishioners.
In 1937 the people's Commissariat of internal Affairs feel the need to get rid of unwanted and obstinate Bishop, and in the same year he was shot.
Now he (and partly, as stated, all victims of persecution), a monument to the side of the Cathedral of the Assumption in his former diocese in Dmitrov.

I took this shot in the famous Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai. There is a custom in all south indian temples where the pilgrims offer money or food to the temple elephant and get blessing from the elephant in return. Usually the pilgrims will bow in front of the elephant and the elephant will tap its trunk in the pilgrims head which is treated as a blessing. The opposite happened here where a foreign pilgrim stood reverse and got blessing from the elephant. It was really funny and interesting.

Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinns and men) deny?
He created man (Adam) from sounding clay like the clay of pottery.
And the jinns did He create from a smokeless flame of fire.

5:30 am quickly turns to 8:00am, birds sing praises, His people offer blessings.
Father, may they clearly know Your will and achieve the height and depth of spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10 May their lives be a credit to You, Lord; and what’s more, may they continue to delight You by doing every good work and growing in the true knowledge that comes from being close to You. 11 Strengthen them with Your infinite power, according to Your glorious might, so that they will have everything they need to hold on and endure hardship patiently and joyfully. 12 Thank You, Father, as You have made us[d] eligible to receive our portion of the inheritance given to all those set apart by the light. 13 You have rescued us from dark powers and brought us safely into the kingdom of Your Son, whom You love 14 and in whom we are redeemed and forgiven of our sins [through His blood].~ Colossians 1

When you think of life, think first about the blessings you have. Don't focus on misfortunes, for they are but a faint shadow.

Our congregation put together these "Blessing Bags", in male and female versions, to provide some basic toiletries and necessities to anyone we meet who might be in need.
Thanks to all the beautiful people the world over who took the time to wish us happiness on our Anniversary. Blessings to you all. May you have a wonderful weekend.
