Weekend Love List
Welcome to the weekend love list.
Grab a cup of coffee. Sit out in the garden with your pj’s
and choose rest
I wonder if there is a morsel or a meal hidden right here for you?
Perhaps you’d like to start with a Lectio Divina, an ancient way to rest WITH God this weekend. Here we do a new SLOW Word lectio divina every Monday and Thursday. Join us? Subscribe on the right to join a community of fellow listeners.
Here is Isaiah 30:15
“In returning and rest will be your salvation; In quietness and trust is your strength.”

“Our most important work is accomplished by enjoying the Creator, not checking off a list.
~~Shelly Miller
Doesn’t that sentence invite a much-needed deep breath?
This post by Shelly Miller helped me to tweak my perspective when I was feeling all tied up with self-inflicted lists. Besides, she takes us on a trip to the Cotswolds to visit the most darling little stone cottage. *sigh*

There is so much to fuel our meditation of the Psalms right here on this Fuller Seminary page. A conversation between Eugene Peterson and Bono would be thought-provoking enough but to take it over the edge, they included a curated spotify play list including Jon Foreman, Jon Michael Talbot, Cistercian monks, Matt Maher, and U2. Treasure.
I keep coming back to this recipe year after year. One tray? Yes, please. The overnight brine creates the most moist chicken. Add sage, sweet potatoes, and a dash of cream and tons of grated parmesan before serving. Delicious. I’ll be making it for Sunday supper this weekend for a ton of cousins who are presently running around the house having nerf gun battles. Thank you again Jaime Oliver.

I’ve picked up this book again and read a page at a time often stopping to revel in a profound quote : The Orthodox Way. What I love about the Orthodox theology revealed in this book is that it leads us to awe. We are reminded that God is full of mystery that the human mind cannot entirely comprehend Him but is invited up to the altar to worship.
Faith is not the supposition that something might be true, but the assurance that someone is there.”
~~Kallistos Ware, The Orthodox Way
God is not surprised by our lack. He is moved by it.
~~ Tara Dickson
This beautiful post by Tara Dickson challenged my lack of trust and makes me want to lean in. I will be sitting with this question before the Lord: Is there somewhere that You want me to withdraw so that You can show Your power?
