Happy Independence Day to my friends in the United

Happy Independence Day to my friends in the United States!

249 years ago, the journey to independence faced improbable odds and perilous circumstances which required more sacrifice than we sometimes remember.

This nation was forged on the back of sacrifice, dreams, miracles, and grace. I am blessed to have been welcomed in its shores.

Just for fun, I am including a picture of me playing dress-up. Can you imagine wearing all of that in the heat while battling small pox (Boston) and war-related lack and hardship?

Last week I pressed SEND on the final edit of The Royal Artisan.

As I read the novel for maybe the seventh or eighth time, it hit me just how prophetic the story of Esther can be . . . and how painfully reminiscent of our world today.

I don’t know what the world will be like when this book is released in early November. But I hope you will enjoy the story of my potter, and that in the end, it will leave you with a taste of sweet hope.

“And their voices prevailed.” (Luke 23:23)

What are the voices prevailing over your heart and your life today?

On the day that Luke is writing about, the voices that prevailed “were urgent, demanding with loud cries”. But they demanded nothing good. They demanded a great price.

Sometimes, there are urgent voices in our lives. Demanding voices that want nothing good.

And if we are not careful, we will cave in, because such demands tend to sound loud and feel urgent. If we are not on our guard, they will prevail.

Today, may the voice prevailing in your heart be hope. Be faith and grace and joy. Be patience and peace and love.

Today, may the Father’s voice prevail.

This is a social media success story.

Over forty-five years ago, when I was at boarding school in England, I became friends with two lovely Persian Armenian sisters. Their family moved to the US the same time as I did, and I spent many a glorious day at their welcoming home.

Oh the joys of spending time with gracious friends!

But eventually, life happened and we lost touch. Fast forward to a couple of months ago. Thanks to Facebook, my friend found me! I have heard of this happening to others, but it has never really happened to me. Not with someone close to me. It has been such a delight just to catch up after all these years.

There is something sweet and lasting about true friendship. It survives the silent years. It arrives at your door, still sweet and full of joy.

Speaking of sweet and full of joy, I came home to these gorgeous Armenian pastries from my friend. Yup. My friend still has the gift of hospitality. She can still make me feel welcome all the way from California.

Do you have friendships that you cherish after long years?
