THANK YOU for sharing with us the depth & richness of your heart. Every week we are blessed with your teachings! Every week we are awed by the poems, photos, and video clips that open our hearts & in some instances change my perspectives. I am so grateful for this rich Lenten season with The Cottage as my spiritual guide.🪷
Once I preached a sermon on this Gospel text about "The Lonliness of God", interpreting the "Story of Salvation" in Scripture as God's persitence in not remaining alone.
Herein is the meaning of Kenosis. God sends His seed, Jesus, to the earth. Jesus empties himself of his divine birthright, becomes the Son of Man, and dwells among us in the darkness of the earth, of mortality. God waters His seed with light, and lifts him up in glory even on a cross, so that all may proclaim him Lord, and know God's name.
Thanks for sharing the hymn, Now the Green Blade Riseth.
Good for every day in Holy Week!
Diana,

"Now the green blade riseth..." this beautiful song brought tears to my eyes... I needed that.. thanks
With a blizzard in NW Minnesota, I find promise in these words and song as I buy seeds for Spring on our Norwegian sized farm!!!

thank you for centering me in the spirit and soul of this week
Thank you.
"Quiet in the earth a drop of water came,
and the little seed spoke: "Sequoia is my name."
This pairs well my reading today on the creation of seeds in Genesis 1:9-13, The Second Day. Beautiful choices today. Thank you, Diana
Thank you, Diana for these beautiful reflections this morning.
Hallelujah. Diana I am so grateful! It is like the song says “ For every drop of rain that falls a flower grows.”
You have been like the rain that has helped old doctrines die, so new understanding can flourish!
My Easter Day be filled with Hallelujahs for you and Richard.
Thank you. I too am so grateful.
Such a deeply moving devotion. I also say a heartfelt thank you, Diana.
The song, the poetry, the prayer. Amen. Thank you Diana.
