Ella Jo Mug ballet and the quiet reverence of

and the quiet reverence of the wild

and fig topped sourdough crackers

set your eyes on the Lord

– The main thing is not to hurry

summertime slows our lives down

Ella Jo Mug ballet and the quiet reverence ofA mug for the woman who folds the wash, reads the Psalms, and works hard to provide for the needs of her family. A woman who has walked out her faith for so long and yet still needs little reminders that she has been forgiven. Like riverbanks shaped by time, she is shaped by the hands of the Lord which hold her dearly. The rustling leaves in the middle of summer have taught her to listen to the gentle whispers of God. She shows up, and that's enough.
