AmsterdamAnne Chronicles

Morning:

Look up Anne. See the glory of my creation and let it heal your soul. Listen to the bird song It is Me singing over you with joy and thanksgiving as I see you become who I’ve made you to be. The beauty all around you is just a glimmer of who you are becoming every time you seek My presence and bask in the glory of My creation.

Breath in My fragrance. Hold it in your lungs. Breathe it out. In with My mercy. Out with My grace

Watch the hook nosed white birds in their circle over the water, dancing to the music they make themselves for Me. It is the beauty and the rhythm of life in each wing flap. They touchdown on the water to swirl around again. 

Breathe in.

Breathe out. 

Be still,

And know that I am God.

Afternoon:

I spent the day smiling today in Kampen, Elske’s hometown.

There is Autumn in the trees and winter in the air. Colored leaves of gold and red litter the garden park paths along the river and canals. While the green grass illuminates the in betweens.

Marijo and I walked the narrow stone streets of the medieval city of Kampen. Towering old buildings with bright, inviting shops decorated for Christmas. There are lighted garlands connecting the building tops above. It is a magical place.

Her dad has lived here for most of his 90 years. From his seat in his living room, he regales us with his walking history book tales. He has a way of elevating history from stuffiness to joy and we leave smiling.
