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.
Our oldest blessing, our son, and his beautiful wife, with their son and his new bride along with their sweet pet Otis, and their daughter with her special friend, our incredible grandblessings, on a glorious Saturday celebrating our Christmas together near Georgetown in Texas. Truly a joyous occasion for me!!! We did our gift exchange early as Ty is a fireman and will be working the Christmas weekend!! It was such a joy to be together with all of them and to just be a part of their day... they were busy planting trees and transplanting roses at Ty & Ellie's wonderful home in the country... he did the fence behind us too. The two of them are amazing together!!! What is just out of the photo is the new white cross my grandblessing made and placed on the side of their red barn... it is a really special statement at their lovely place!!! Taken on what would have been my beloved Larry and mine's 50th Wedding Anniversary!!!
The simple pleasures are life's truest treasures Wishing you an abundance of blessings. Happy Thanksgiving!!! ~ Kathy Davis
This display was set up at the botanical garden when I visited last month, and I thought it would be perfect to post for Thanksgiving. To all my American friends, have a safe, enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday. As usual, we will be spending our day, cooking, eating, eating some more, and enjoying a little football :-) As always, I appreciate your visits and comments!!!!

One of the traditions of Spanish Market is the Sunday morning mass. Artists bring their works to the altar to be blessed. After mass a mariachi processional is lead from the Cathedral back down to the plaza for the official opening of the market. As the Archbishop said to the crowd, with a chuckle, "Well, we are the city of the Holy Faith after all"

I think this will be the final photo I will post for 2012, everyone. I will just take a moment to reflect gratefully for the opportunities I’ve been given since I moved to Seattle almost six years ago. The path I could have taken, had things worked out in DC, would have completely eliminated my chances of fully engaging in my delirious passion for photography and personal travel.
My family and many of my closest friends, ironically, are very grateful the gig I desperately wanted so badly for several years did not work out and, in retrospect, I wholeheartedly agree. Had it happened, TIA International Photography would have been a mere figment of my imagination, and I would never have come to know any of you through this venue. I do believe in blessings in disguise, and unanswered prayers. Everything happens (or does not happen) for a reason. I thank God for His protection and providence thus far.
With my final photo of 2012, I wish all of you a joyful entry into the new year with blessings of happiness, prosperity, success, and good health.

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.

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.

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.
