Good morning... After the quirky video in yesterday's post, she wrote, "It's true that I miss God in the room all the time!" Her statement morphed into my prayer, "God, please help me not to miss You in the room today." With my eyes keenly focused on noticing, I saw God walking right through the middle of everything. [...]
Good morning... Okay, friends. So we are about one third of the way through December. Amazing how time flies. As I look back over the past ten calendar days, this is what I see. One impromptu lunch. Two holiday performances. Three happy hour gatherings. Four special worship services. Five Christmas parties. Six celebratory dinners. Tonight is the Secret [...]
Good morning... As I emerged from a time of deep down prayer, I noticed anew the layers of light living in our home. How often do we take time to notice the layers, the light, the power of life? Elizabeth, a young mom of three who is undergoing intense treatment for her colon cancer, wrote something in a [...]
Good morning... This Memorial Day weekend, might we take a few sacred moments to remember those who have fallen into resurrection power on the battlefields of life? ...Sue... Note To Sue Past Posts Donate Home
Good morning... As she shares her instagram post from December 31st, 2022, important questions echo back to me. What are you loving? What are you learning? What are you leaving? I make three headings on the top of a blank page. LOVING? LEARNING? LEAVING? Then words trickle into place. LOVING? Family time. [...]
Good morning... This week I have run into one rare word twice, in the thought-provoking image above and in Henri Nouwen's meditation below. Pilgrimage. This is a fresh word found in my everyday life. "A pilgrimage is a journey, often into an unknown or foreign place, where a person goes in search of new or expanded meaning about [...]
Good morning... My mind is reeling. I cannot sleep. Important needs play tug-o-war. Getting out of bed, I am drawn to an encouragement card: "The surest way to simplify your life is to focus on what matters most." I sit and ponder prayerfully, "Lord, what matters most?" What matters is something far more interior: faith expressed [...]
Good morning... As my friend and I walked and talked around the horse farm, we discussed all that feels broken, out of order, in disarray right now. Mid-sentence I looked down to see a single butterfly wing at my feet. Disconnected from the whole. Lying alone there in the dirt. I picked up the fragile...little...useless wing. The small [...]
Good morning... Yesterday's post continued to bleed into my day. Our final words became my constant prayer. "Lord, please heighten our sensitiveness to you. May we see, hear, taste, touch, and smell your magic all around us." Right away a loyal reader from Florida wrote. "Good morning Sue," she texted. "I have always stopped daily to notice something [...]
Good morning... It seems I am not the only one of us experiencing a chaotic brain. In class yesterday, one woman shared an old video about the differences between the brains of men and the brains of women. Like most good humor, enough truth is touched to make us feel seen, known, accepted where we are and growing [...]
