Rain gives life.
Rain sustains life.
If it rains too hard or too long, rain can threaten life.
Always good to remember those possibilities.
Not sure when or where I took this photo. I found it in my files.

AdventWord 2022 – December 4 #delight
At the end of Eric and Essie Koenig-Reinke’s wedding.
It has been a while.
But delight lasts a long, long time.

AdventWord 2022 – December 3 #unity
A Palestinian flag flies in a camp at Standing Rock.
A witness to solidarity.
A reminder that all struggles for justice are intertwined.
A symbol of unity.

AdventWord 2022 – December 2 #ready
The Rev. Essie Koenig-Reinke celebrates communion at the service where she was ordained as a minister of the Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). She was ordained by the Presbytery of Baltimore at Dickey Memorial Presbyterian Church (DMPC).
If ever anyone was ready for ordained ministry (and most folks who reach that point are), Essie was. Her ministry at DMPC and beyond os a blessing.

AdventWord 2022 – December 1 #make
A lot of my “making” lately has revolved around food. I cook more than I ever imagined I would. The colors and textures of this breakfast are intriguing.
Writing of prayers is a form of making, I suppose. As is writing at work.
God makes all things. And God makes all things new. And when we make, we live into being created in the image of God.

AdventWord 2022
I am participating in AdventWord 2022. I have participated in this spiritual discipline off and on for several years. As in year’s past, the photos are usually ones that I have taken and saved, or that others have taken and saved. Should I take a photo for AdventWord 2022, I will note that. Here is the list of words.
Wishing you a blessed Advent of waiting and preparation.
