Victoria's Grace

This grace evolved at my baby daughter's feed times. The photos are of her when she was a chubby bubby: she's a beautiful, slim 18 year old now!



The  Lord  bless  your  food  to  you, darling.
The  Lord  be  praised  I’ve  food  to  give  you.
The  Lord  be  praised  I’ve  you  to  give  food  to!
Amen.

Be-ing

Be-ing

What do I want?
How can I put it?
I want to BE!!

What is this mystery that we call life?
I want to BE part of it - I am part of it.
But what does that mean?
How should I live?
How should I be?

I can feel the answer
almost within my grasp at times -
and then it slips away again
between my fingers,
refusing to be caught.
But I’m not giving up!!!I’ll gather all the little bits
left in my hands,
hoarding them
and puzzling over them
until I’ve got them all!
Then we shall see!!!!

“Now I see through a glass darkly,
but then face to face...”
O Great One,
yet Close One,
Father,
Mother,
whoever You are;
You call to me
and I respond
lovingly,
joyfully,
expectantly.
Thank you.
Praise be!
