Hello Grafted In Readers,
Today is September 3 in my corner of blog-land.
Historically, September has had its challenges both good, and at other times rather trying. Yet, I like this month as it transitions us from one season to the next.
For those who observe spirituality from a Jewish point of view, at times this is the month of preparation called Elul.
From Google: According to Jewish tradition, on Rosh Hashanah, all of humanity is called to account, and a divine judgment is issued. This belief underscores the significance of Elul as a month of preparation, where individuals spiritually prepare themselves for this divine judgment.
One way to prepare is spend a few minutes reflectively reading Psalm 27 in The Holy Bible. This is the name of a book in the Bible containing 150 prayers if you will that run the gammet of the human experience. Highs, lows, ups, downs, thanksgiving, request for protection, get even with my foes, etc.
Whatever your viewpoint, make certain it includes a time to prepare for the continued journey which you and I share together. You and I are truly works in progress.
Personal: September includes my wedding anniversary, celebrating no. 28 this year. I am thankful for my choice of spouse whom I "intend" to share life with until one of us breathes our last.
Thank you for our visit today. I am always happy to know you dropped by.
May the presence of YHVH be fully realized in our life this day and every day.

Thank you for bringing more meaning to my love of Fall. I found you through the worship/ poetry book Stones Before the Ocean.Every morning my husband and I read a devotional together. We added reading from this book. I was moved by your poem Birds and waves. We often enjoy a bird chorus praising God here. I am an author of poetry and have 3 poems in this book as well. May God bless you. Cindy Norton.
Hello Cindy and others,
Thanks so much for your introduction, and that we share space together in the same publication.
I too am married, and we recently moved back to a side of town near the river. Once again we enjoy the travel of chattering geese sporadically, and more frequently, the chatter of seagalls. Have a blessed season of life, and do stay in touch.
Perhaps you would like to share a poem here on my blog; please consider.
All the best to you and yours,
David C. Russell, Author
