the sprinkler – flag pole blessing of the bells

Very Grateful for:

God’s signals

an early morning Sunday walk with Ruby

hearing the faint sound of bells in the distance as we walk

hearing the tinkling sound grow

stopping to look across the creek and seeing the source of the bells: a brass impact sprinkler hitting a metal flag pole- the result is the sound of bell chimes! Who knew?!

the blessing to hear the sound of bells on an early morning walk

Grateful for questions with more than one right answer

Grateful for questions that the water brings:

Is the source of the sprinkler and flag pole blessings in the:
–the bell sound?
–the force of the cool water?
–the resilient stand of the flagpole?
–the neighbor who purchased and positioned the flagpole?
–the teaming of the sprinkler and the flag pole?
–the seemingly endless hot, dry, ashey summer weather that created the need for early morning watering?
–God who orchestrates time, events, and blessings?

“…to give unto them beauty from ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness”  ~Isaiah 61:3

  1. One of my favorite bell sounds is the bell that rings at the Catholic Church about a mile down the road from my house.
