Adoration

 Arise and shine
Painting by Mattia Preti (1613-1699)

Arise,
shine,
for your light has come,
    and the glory of the Lord
rises upon you.
See,
darkness covers the earth
    and thick darkness
is over the peoples,
but the Lord rises upon you
    and his glory
appears over you.
Nations
will come to your light,
    and kings
to the brightness of your dawn.

[Isaiah 60:1-3]

December give-away

Dear readers of this blog,

At the end (almost) of yet another beautiful and inspiring blogging year I want to thank you for reading along, for commenting and for sharing the posts. Your input and responses make each post a valuable interaction about the deeper issues of life.

I cannot thank you all personally, some readers desire to stay anonymous and that's just fine with me, but I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who visits this blog, whether you are a reader, a blogger or a writer (to be)... Without your encouragement this blog would not continue to exist. As a way of saying thank you I will be hosting a give-away this month!

You can win a copy of My Neighbor's House and, as a bonus, a copy of any other book in the Ten Commandments series you desire. The only thing you need to do is to leave your comment underneath this post and describe in six words how you have experienced 2014. (This is a great opportunity for the writers and poets among us to practice writing a six-word-story.)

I'll ask my husband to draw a name, later this month!
