Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
I was in the yard the other day getting wood for the woodstove evening fire. I stopped for a moment to survey the garden. Nature had provided a remnant blanket of last year’s plants, protection from winter’s frost and snow. Looking closer, I saw that beneath the tangle of dried roots, stems, and leaves, down close to the soil, small patches of green sprouts were enduring. For an instant, I yearned for the promise of spring.
