Welcome.
Welcome to Sacred Mundane, a little space to inspire us all to wholeness. As whole beings, created in the image of God, all of life is infused with sacred meaning and purpose. We refuse the divided and defeated life of a sacred/secular duality. Instead, whether we eat or drink or whatever we do, we do it all for the glory of God (1 Cor. 10:31). Diapers or devotions, laundry or liturgy, weight loss or worship. The details of life are the whispers of a Savior. I invite you to wake up to this sacrament of living, for there’s an epic adventure waiting in the midst of your mundane. Bring your kids and car keys, your wounds and hopes and dreams. A quotidian revolution. Because everything matters.
September Rain and Leaving a Legacy
Yes, there are a few things missing. Over the past two weeks my blog has been hacked twice. My dear husband has worked countless hours retrieving my stuff from the ether, but this time it appears not all can be recovered. So, we’re figuring out a better system of backing things up, finding a new web host, and I’m reminding myself there are more important things in the world than my little corner of space. But I do love this little space! Yesterday the final FrugalLivingNW article posted, so head on over and check it out. We talked about Leaving a Legacy, and because I’m trying to leave a legacy of actually playing with and spending time with my children, I don’t have the time today to write a post on The One who Left a Legacy. I suppose you can figure it out, yes? No one’s legacy has been more significant than Jesus Christ’s. Because He left a legacy of grace, we can leave a legacy of thankfulness. How can we simply be thankful today?
Today I’m celebrating the first day of September by roasting yams and carrots from the garden, baking bread, and making a huge pot of tortilla soup. (I also built a pretty spectacular geo-trax train track this morning, but I hate to brag.) I’ve noticed that it’s all too easy to complain about the early rain, so how are you choosing to enjoy these first fall droplets? I’ve decided this year I’m investing in some super cute rubber boots. My kids have ’em and I think I should too! Soggy toes are a sure way to dampen one’s spirit, so I have my eye out for a deal. They may not be hot off the runway, but I think clompin’ along in skinny jeans and rubber boots sounds just fabulous. Then I’d be able to join Dutch jumping in the mud-puddles.
How will you choose to rejoice in the coming days of fall? What are your favorite fall rituals you can’t wait to enjoy?
