Good morning... Our friend missed class on Friday. She was on the panhandle of Florida surveying the devastation. Friday night she sent me a picture of the calm, gorgeous water after the storm with an email describing her family's experience. With her permission, I share her words with you. ****** Our Friday Morning Friend's Experience of Hurricane Michael [...]
Good morning... In our Friday class, one young mom shared the title of a song that she and her daughters sing at the top of their lungs. This morning, relax into the beauty of this down-to-earth voice singing life-giving lyrics: "You Say" by Lauren Daigle. Finally, my dear friends, be glad that you belong to the Lord (Philippians [...]
Good morning... What is God saying to you from the gaping hole between us? This is what I hear right now from my side of the gap. God lives on my side and God lives on yours. Leaning into our LORD, we are buffered by God's living love. You are not designed to meet my needs and I [...]
Good morning... After last week's post, Plant Today's Crumbs, I will lean back and let your crumbs of gratitude fall upon the page. Collecting our crumbs and warming our daily bread in the oven of time, today we will each savor a sacred slice. ****** Our Crumbs of Gratitude by "Sue To You" subscribers My crumbs of gratitude [...]
Good morning... I cannot tell you the number of times someone will say to me, "I loved your post this morning." Way too often my honest response is this: "Really? Remind me. What did I write about today?" In the early morning dawn, I spend hours and hours crafting daily messages, but after I press "send" to you, [...]
Good morning... Alongside our own morning messages, I receive one other online devotional. The Henri Nouwen Society sends out select words from Nouwen's plethora of books. Deep. Short. Touching. Most days I make time to mull over these meaningful meditations. This week Nouwen's inspired words have resonated richly with what God is teaching us together. As I work diligently [...]
Good morning... "In the human world, abundance does not happen automatically," writes Parker Palmer on pages 107. "It is created when we have the sense to choose community, to come together to celebrate and share our common store. Whether the scarce resource is money or love or power or words, the true law of life is that we generate [...]
Good morning... After reading yesterday's post, God's G.R.A.C.E. Travels, she sent me a brief, beautiful email: "Sue. You are a creator of community. Thank you for that." Then she forwarded me another devotional message she had received that morning. ***** Reality Is Communion - Richard Rohr, Sunday, May 6, 2018 In the beginning God says, “Let us make humanity in our [...]
Good morning... "Blessings to you for daily messages that are life changing," she wrote after Revisiting Our Favorite Posts. "Sue - I am a creature of habit," a friend emailed. "I read your post every morning and love your daily messages. I have two to suggest to repeat this summer..." "Truly, ALL your messages are my favorites and special gifts [...]
Good morning... My friend's sleep was disturbed by obsessive feelings. Jealousy. Entitlement. Confusion. Rejection. Her voracious mind craved answers. Hash it out. Decide some details. Needing answers became a nightmare. Her mind went into overdrive until she read our post We Grow G.R.A.C.E. She texted me her middle-of-the-night realization: "I took a little trip away from GRACE." Moving back [...]
