Teachable Tuesday

Just a few of my favorites this week
to be a life-long learner...


A collection of unpublished short stories by one of my favorite authors,
Maeve Binchey.  I love getting lost in the simplicity of her story-telling.  
She had the touch of making the ordinary seem extraordinary.



I loved this TED Talk on vulnerability by Brene Brown:



Another addition to my Affirmation box...





And this post by Ann VosKamp...
it brought about hope in the midst of the insanity taking place this week in our country.

----------------------------------------------------
The world weeps, needing to hear a lot more good news — and maybe that starts with each of us beggars who’ve found bread sharing more of the sustenance of Good News.
The news that there is a Wounded Healer who touches our scars with His scars and says, ‘I know & I see & no matter how it seems, there’s more happening than you see, and this isn’t over yet.‘ 
----------------------------------------------------------




---------------------------------------------------------

Hope is a salve that keeps our broken hearts soft… 
And maybe now more than ever, we need to hold on to the hope and the desperate need of us all being kind to one another. No one ever killed anyone with kindness —- evil is killed by kindness. The rest of us are resurrected by kindness…
Kindle us with kindness, Lord, keep us with kindness, kiss us with kindness.
Please, resurrect us all with the bravest, revolutionary kindness…
Because the world weeps, needing prayer warriors who don’t see prayer as the least we can do but the most we can do — and then literally get down on their knees & pray us all through this heart ache and into His healing light. 
--------------------------------------------------------------
Here's to Tuesday....
may it be filled with kindness, vulnerability & hope.
