Bread and Honey: Empty House, Full Heart
http://breadandhoneyrab.blogspot.com/2015/01/empty-house-full-heart.html
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. Galatians 5:6. Friday, January 30, 2015. Empty House, Full Heart. I arrived home from the airport on Thursday, and the house just felt so cold and empty. I'll adjust. Ken and I enjoy our simple, quiet evenings of these empty nesting years very much. A 'second Christmas' dinner with friends. A flute recital. Building the snowman and making snow angels. The. Most enthusiastic snow-shovelers anywhere in Canada! But mostly right now, here in...

Bread and Honey: June 2014
http://breadandhoneyrab.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. Galatians 5:6. Saturday, June 14, 2014. My Dad gave me a invaluable gift, just before he died. Those were gentle, difficult days. Long hours in his room, quietly, just me and him after Mom had gone to bed. Him mostly sleeping or resting or getting ready or all of the above; whatever it is the dying do in the days before. But he wasn't talking. We'd been through a lot together, not the least of which had been the past eleven years since a...

Where I serve as senior pastor have granted me a three month educational sabbatical that will take place in Thailand in the fall of 2015. On the home front. It is my...

Bread and Honey: April 2015
http://breadandhoneyrab.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. Galatians 5:6. Monday, April 6, 2015. It's been a bit of an up and down thing, this past jet-laggy week before Easter. Bit of a drag coming back to winter after three summer weeks in Thailand, all flip-floppy and sun-shiney and green. Glad welcomes home, and lovely to be with beloveds. But I also catch myself in those stuttering sighs of a good cry without having had one, from missing beloveds I left on the other side of the world. And w...

Bread and Honey: Just. Home.
http://breadandhoneyrab.blogspot.com/2014/12/just-home.html
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. Galatians 5:6. Sunday, December 28, 2014. It's in the slow waking and unhurried first hour. Of putting on the fire and knowing it will burrn. There will be quiet and tea. And a long game of Scrabble and just. The two of us. Will conversate and laugh, unpressured by. Calendars or clocks or phones or have-tos,. And it will be simple. And sweet to rest in the simplicity and 'now-ness'. Of mid-Christmas joy, setting aside for just a time the.

Bread and Honey: Just Here
http://breadandhoneyrab.blogspot.com/2015/03/just-here.html
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. Galatians 5:6. Monday, March 16, 2015. Here I am again. Eleventh trip. Never gets old. I'm working on those things a little at a time. But by and large, these are days of being 'just here'. It's in the 'just here' suspension of time that most of the love happens, I think. The laughing at inside jokes, now possible simply because we have collected enough shared memories, AND because our language learning keeps improving little by enough.

Bread and Honey: August 2014
http://breadandhoneyrab.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. Galatians 5:6. Sunday, August 31, 2014. Thank You Summer 2014. Allow my gratitude to follow you. Wherever it is you fade off to. Every year about this time. To pause and remember paws,. Tiny and cool on my sun-warmed skin,. Receiving nuts and giving simple moments of cheer. In the spectacular spaces of dawnings and dusks,. Flat water and rusks. And foxes dashing by. And trying not to cry. At the sheer wonder of family. But hushed, still.
