In 2 Corinthians 9:15, Paul calls us to reflect on God’s “inexpressible gift.” While Paul doesn’t specify the gift directly, it’s widely understood to refer to the gift of Jesus Christ and the salvation we receive through Him. This gift is beyond full comprehension, too wonderful for words. It’s a gift that meets our deepest needs and transforms our lives from the inside out. In response to such…

Hail to the Old Gods;

The ancient ones, Deities of forest, mountain, and sea, for whom my ancestors poured from their ram horns.

Hail to the god of emotions, who teaches us when to embrace chaos and when to refrain for the moment.

Hail to the goddess of seiðr, who holds the key of divination in the waves of her golden hair trailing down her breasts.

Hail to the god of strength, guardian of the deer herds, who teaches me when to cry for help and when to stand and gore. Hail to the Allfather, whose unconventional wisdom hurt me greatly in the moment, but saved my soul from perpetual insanity through the binding of runes.

(Thank you all for everything)

Hail to the Old Gods.

Gratitude - Part 2

[thepersonalwords]

Cultivating an attitude of gratitude begins with counting your blessings. In simpler terms, gratitude is expressing thanks for gifts we receive. Genuine gratitude helps us to see the little things in life that are often overlooked, yet so precious.

DA OC Question!!

Aside from their love interest, did your Warden/Hawke/Inquisitor have a crush on anyone? What did they admire about that person? Was it a fleeting crush, or something more?

No Matter What - Praise God

When everything is going wrong in your life – instead of complaining, praise God! When you focus on praising God, you’ll develop a stronger trust in Christ, your Savior and a faith that is rock solid. Never underestimate the power of praising Jesus! So often we see God as the "giver," and our prayers are reduced to "give me this," and "give me that." But when we neglect to praise and worship our Creator, our relationship with Him suffers. We shouldn't wait for something wonderful to happen to us, to tell God just how awesome He is and how much we love Him! Our praise should not be based on what kind of day we are having. True praise is not based on feelings! It is precisely when you are down and out, feeling depressed that you should praise Him the most! When you do, you will experience the amazing, uplifting power of praise and through Christ, you'll be able to overcome all the hopeless feelings that threaten to overcome you! No matter what - Praise God! Text: Psalm 108:1-2, Jeremiah 17:14, Psalm 18:3

Bible Texts:

Psalm 108:1-2 KJV - [[A Song Psalm of David.]] O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.

Jeremiah 17:14 KJV - Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou [art] my praise.

Psalm 18:3 KJV - I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

Hecate Enodia,

As you guided Demeter to her daughter Persephone, guide me on this new journey

As I explore my new path with you, may your torches keep my path true.

May your dogs keep me company and guard me as I explore the darkness with you.

Lady of the crossroads, and keeper of keys, never let me find a locked door, or a road I cannot tread.

Mother,

I have heard your call, and am yours eternal, dispel my doubts and fears that I may serve you to my fullest, that you may one day call me home.

Small Pleasures

The oaky aftertaste of a classic roasted cup of coffee

The deep bass of a low note on a violin or cello

The soft, silvery light of the moon on concrete

The way words jump and dance and sing in a poem

The cool touch of my partner's hand on my cheek

The flame in my soul that alights during prayer

The chill in the air during morning golden hour

The satisfaction of finishing a new crochet stitch line

The smiles of my loved ones

The calm pleasure of an early morning

The opening of a new blossom

The crackle of a fire
