UncategorizedA Blessed Time 05/09/201301/25/2017 Adele “I could have married again while I was still young. A congregation likes to have a married minister, and I was introduced to every niece and sister-in-law in a hundred miles. In retrospect, I’m very grateful for whatever reluctance it was that kept me alone until your mother came. Now that I look back, it seems to me that in all that deep darkness a miracle was preparing. So I am right to remember it as a blessed time, and myself as waiting in confidence, even if I had no idea what I was waiting for.” — Gilead, by Marilynne Robinson (Photo from http://bit.ly/10fQN7o) Share this:TweetEmailPrintShare on TumblrLike this:Like Loading...

I thoroughly enjoyed reading “Gilead”. I hope you enjoy it as well. If so, make sure you check out Robinson’s book “Home”. I’m not sure which I liked more. I think that the themes in “Home” had a greater impact on me. Reply
I’m enjoying re-reading Gilead, a few pages a day. A great solace for the soul, writing and otherwise. Reply
