Generally I am a driven person. When I work in the kitchen I do dishes, cook supper, pack lunches and do a load of laundry all at the same time. When I work in the church office I photocopy, open mail and reflect on Sunday's sermon all at the same time. When I relax at home I am doing puzzles or word games, reading for school, or thinking about a million things. This afternoon grace came as I picked up something different, knitting of a prayer shawl in a three stitch that goes "Father, Son, Holy Spirit" perled, "Father, Son, Holy Spirit" knitted, repeated. It is very meditative.
And as I close out this post, the cat is curled beside me, my husband beside that, our hockey team has more goals, and the knitting bag will come out. Ahhhhh.
