Be fruitful

Be fruitful and multiply. Woven throughout the Word of God. 

From the garden of Eden. And the covenant with Abraham. Into the new covenant. The Vine and branches.

My mother

One of the strongest, most determined women I know. And funny. My mother. 

A devoted follower of Christ. And gifted teacher. Mom and grandmother (Nani).

Countless are the ways her life impacts mine. And every time I try to put it down on paper, I fall short of words. 

But we’re celebrating her 90th birthday this week.

So, here goes. Some personal thoughts and memories. 

O give thanks to the Lord, Mom. Great things He has done!

My mother. 2021.

Open door

Over the years. In various cultures. Conversations over tea build friendships. And open doors. 

Our exchange moves from common everyday themes to the topic most essential. 

And dearest to my heart. 

Jesus.
