Spiritual Sunday Quiet Meditation

I made a place for my quiet meditation and reading thanks to my blogger friend Jeanine B. for suggesting to arrange a cozy place. (Snowball had to make sure it was cozy enough) I have some very special books to chose from to keep close by including Jesus Listens for my daily devotional reading. Thank you Kebba B. and Brenda F. for all the wonderful spiritual love I receive when reading your books.

I got this idea from a Facebook friend where she has a Happiness Jar. I didn’t have a jar but found this storage bucket that Lia made a few years ago by weaving ribbon around the sides. The idea is to write yourself a note of something that made you feel happy each day and put it in the jar or basket. She even suggested to add photos of special times. At the end of the year, go through the notes for wonderful memories. I keep this here so I can add my daily note after my evening meditation.

I thought this picture was perfect to share on Spiritual Sunday. After our South Carolina snow and ice storm last week, Lia, Alex and I were out in the snow. Lia made a snowball and threw it toward the sky for Pop, he always loved snow. I snapped the picture at the perfect time, just as the snowball had left Lia’s hand. What I didn’t notice until after I went back and looked at the picture was the sky. It was a cold, cloudy day but there was an opening of brightness and what I saw in the clouds under the brightness was a cupped hand waiting to catch the snowball. I was mentioning this to my friend Kebba B. and her words were so comforting to me in her comment: “God uses His limitless power to remind us how much He loves us. That cloud opening was a window for Rich to receive your and Lia’s love, and for him to share his love with you”.

These are today’s reading in Jesus Listens. This is the perfect ending for my Spiritual Sunday blog. May you all have a blessed Sunday filled with love.
