The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 616

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre.As I look out my window of wonder on this beautiful Sunday morning my mind flashes back to a Sunday morning image when I was a child growing up in West Limerick. There was great preparation, clean clothes, polished shoes, beautiful breakfast, farm work completed early and off to mass. As a child and to a child's understanding it was special. Time was taken to be together as a family for most of the day. It was as if there was an audience present all around us and we always gave thanks as a family for the wonderful food with grace before and after meals. We give thanks as a family for the day and we trust in God to look after us all for the day and every day. Thoughtfulness and trust are our primary receptors. These two subtle disciplines will keep us on a safe and wonderful pathway throughout our life. Have a wonderful Sunday and continue to pray, bless, power healing and peace to all who need it and wear your smile.
