“What is asked of us...
is that we break open our blocked caves
and find each other.
Nothing less will heal the anguished spirit
or release the heart to act in love.”
thoughts of Father Tim,
Chapter 4, A Light in the Window
Jan Karon
As the holidays approach, I find relationships on my mind. I have been re-reading the Mitford series and having just finished the second book (
A Light in the Window), I am struck anew with how we all struggle in our relationships--as evidenced by Father Tim and Cynthia. We want deep, meaningful relationships that are celebrated by the holidays--a coming together of hearts and minds. But...our world is broken, and we can't love like we were meant to love...without Christ. I pray that Christ will break the blocked caves, closed doors, and fortified walls of my heart.

Hey Katherine- Just taking a moment to say hello and amen :) to your posting! I am at work today doing the very mundane task of cleaning up our electronic files and visited your blog for a little "refreshment"! The Mitford series is a favorite of mine as well.
love,
