I went to an evensong service at church last night. When I go to church, I usually attend in the morning. But, the beach called yesterday morning. I had a fabulous time with my husband walking along our favorite beach with our dog Oso, an Aussie Shepherd, and grand-dog Twiglet, a Yorkshire terrier. The surf and the tide was high and Joe and I stretched out in the sand and watched the waves and the surfers. It’s wonderful to share a favorite spot on a lazy Sunday morning.
The evensong service was candlelit and included time for meditation and reflection. I enjoyed being slowed down. To really absorb the music in a way that I haven’t during a regular morning church service. One of the pieces performed by the choir was called We Walk by Faith and Not by Sight. The message at yesterday’s service is what’s inspired me today. It had to do with the Eastertide story of Doubting Thomas. How he needed to see to believe. And how we believe without seeing. I am inspired by the things in our lives, the gaps in our lives, which only faith can overcome. This doesn’t have to be our faith in a higher power or God, but can also be our faith in others or our faith in ourselves. This is what I like to write about. What inspires you today?
