I’ve read another book I want to recommend, called Wild Thorns, by Sahar Khalifeh, translated by Trevor LeGassick and Elizabeth Fernea. First, I wanted to share a little about the background of the collection it is a part of, and some info about the author. I found the context really interesting.
Not sure where to start, because I have a lot on my mind, but maybe we could start with a good book?
I give the following books the highest praise my home can offer – both my kids and I loved each story.
When I sat down with my laptop after the costuming event I went to in order to edit pictures, I turned to the Chaplain and remarked that I could tell from my face that I’d waited till after the event for photos. I showed him what I meant in a couple of pics – In too many of them, fake smiles, a desperate glint in my eye, and blank looks stared back at me.
I love Mr. Rogers, but if we were having tea together, I would ask him, “Who are the helpers? How do we know they are here to help and not to hurt?” It’s not always black and white, is it?
Cue my book selections for this month.
We’re talking about …. helpers.
