A Quiet Temple

September 30, 2012 / matushkaanna / 21 Comments

Recently I was made aware of something that happened to a friend of a friend. I don't know the particulars, but the family had been attending a local mission and were told by members of the parish council that (and I'm paraphrasing) if they couldn't keep their children quiet and still then not to come … Continue reading A Quiet Temple

Numb

September 28, 2012October 12, 2016 / matushkaanna / 2 Comments

Consider the foot. If one sits upon it or it is otherwise compressed (as with a tourniquet), the blood ceases to flow and the nerve impulses are no longer transmitted. Before, when the foot was assaulted by an outside force one immediately felt the pain and removed the foot from the source of pain. But … Continue reading Numb

Fabric Stashing and Hoarding

September 27, 2012October 12, 2016 / matushkaanna / 6 Comments

I was looking for inspiration for another quilt I'm working on (yes, another) and stumbled on this nifty post about fabric hoarding. Now, I admit, I love looking at my shelves of fabric and yarn and other odds and ends. It has the ability to make me feel simply happy. I can't sew full-time because, … Continue reading Fabric Stashing and Hoarding

Prayer

September 27, 2012October 12, 2016 / matushkaanna / Leave a comment

The Lord is not tired of hearing us complain all the time. He is tired of our sins, not our turning to Him for help. He wants us to call upon Him all the time and to pour out our hearts to Him. Prayer should not be something that is said and forgotten. You stand … Continue reading Prayer

Cutbacks

September 24, 2012October 12, 2016 / matushkaanna / 3 Comments

Globally we are needing to cut expenses and raise revenue. While a lot of attention has been focused on Greece and the UK (and frankly, just about every other country), Americans are slowly waking up to the fact that we are in the same boat. It would appear that a black hole has opened up … Continue reading Cutbacks

Living vs. Hoping to Live

September 24, 2012October 12, 2016 / matushkaanna / 3 Comments

A fundamental illusion associated with the way we experience time is this: we are frequently oblivious to the meaning of our life in the present, and look for it in the ever awaited future. Dissatisfied with what we receive in the present, we make a point of entertaining hopes for the future. "For the whole … Continue reading Living vs. Hoping to Live

Repurposing a cotton mattress pad

September 22, 2012October 12, 2016 / matushkaanna / 5 Comments

So, the post promised earlier today. (: As I mentioned, I have a very old cotton, quilted mattress pad that finally just bit the dust. Actually, it bit the dust a long time ago but I liked it so much I couldn't give it up. The children gave me grief about it, especially when it … Continue reading Repurposing a cotton mattress pad

Stay tuned…

September 21, 2012 / matushkaanna / Leave a comment

Busy this morning with tidying and homeschool, but I have something fun to do this afternoon. You know those old cotton quilted mattress pads? The ones with all-natural materials because they were produced before man-made materials were put into bedding? Well, they wear out. And then you have something that you know must be useful … Continue reading Stay tuned…

A kind response

September 20, 2012October 12, 2016 / matushkaanna / 5 Comments

At the end of May, after much time-wasting, I finally sent the letters to the hospital where I had Andrew (to the COO and the DON) and to my doctor. Here is the letter: (I edited out identifying information.) ************************** [address edited out] May 31, 2012 M. K., COO University Hospitals [address edited out] Mr. … Continue reading A kind response

Concern for our neighbors’ problems

September 19, 2012 / matushkaanna / 2 Comments

When we talk to our fellow men and they tell us about their troubles, we will listen to them carefully if we have love for them. We will have compassion for their suffering and pain, for we are God's creatures; we are a manifestation of the love of God. However, we often consider this a … Continue reading Concern for our neighbors’ problems
