This is the park where Haiti and I had our early morning walk. Later in the afternoon dad and I took Haiti to the watershed Park for another big walk.The story of creation was retold at church today. It was good to be back at church today and especially seeing some of the young children back. We certainly have a lot of good cooks at our church and lunch afterwards had a great variety of delicious tempting food.
What was not eaten was taken to the homeless shelter.
According to the book written by the Rabbi Jonathan Sacks one of the main themes of scriptures as he sees it is that the God who created invites us to continue this work of creating. He is the teacher who is teaching us His will and how to live with love but also with responsibility to each other.
"So it is worth reminding ourselves that there is such a thing as ethics, and it belongs to the life we live together and our willingness to share" - Maimonides a Jewish philosopher. He goes on to say in this way we honor the image of God in other people and thus turn the world into a home for the divine presence.
"I am the Lord who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth for in these I delight; declares the Lord." -Jer. 9-23-24.brain, is the only true creator, so it is important to claim your role as creator, which is active. Here is the true beginning of learning to make reality."

Our main church is involved in helping the Syrian refugees and will continue to do so.
"We are here to make a difference, to mend the brokenness and heal the wounded one person at a time. This is what Mother Teresa also calls for us to do.

The house sure seems quiet without Haiti in it!Panteli
Yes - Haiti adds a real presence to the home !
That is so true...how much a dog's presence is felt. We had to say goodbye to Jewels, our little Jack Russell rescue a few days ago. She was ill with a large tumor in her belly. We gave her another 4 months with us, until we knew the time had come. It was very hard to do but the kindest thing to do for her. We have Bella and Max and they are especially loving. But her presence is missed. Today I made three bowls of food instead of two...shed a few tears and received kisses from the other two dogs.
I couldn't imagine our home without a dog.
I am so glad you have Haiti to take for walks and to bring you love.
We had another day at the hospital in Winnipeg with Carl having tests. Everything went well and tomorrow we do it again...two doctor visits. I told Carl we are not going to travel this winter unless it is absolutely necessary....I am doing the driving now and we live an hour and a half away from Winnipeg. Three hours round trip.
Lovely photos Beth...the park where you and Haiti walk is so pretty...the long shadows look like early morning.
Love, Nancy
