I’m writing about God’s faithfulness this week on my blog — link in my profile @somemyrrh — and sharing about the way the presence of God is at the heart of disability life and welcome. Only one week till my book releases! #ofsuchisthekingdom #theologyofdisability Image: three pineapples with text reading, “In church, the people who are best at making others feel welcome are those who have taken to heart the truth that God has prepared a place for them. They feel at home with God, and they want to bring others into the circle of love they experience with God. -Summer Kinard summerkinard.com” Facebook readers, read more at this link: summerkinard.com Today we had a crafty class. We threw “seeds” (puffballs) at each other, and when someone named a practice that helps prepare our hearts to receive God’s word, that person got a pack of wikki sticks. After we had gone around a few times, we made the seeds and wikki sticks into a big plant bearing lots of fruit. Then we decorated peg dolls to represent us in the Duplo Church. #accessiblechurchschool #childrenofjoy #orthodoxkids #orthodoxchristian #handsonsundayschool The girls are into coloring these days. #childrenofjoy Gluten-free fish and hash browns are a new favorite comfort meal for the grownups. #glutenfree The weather is cool today, so I have my window open in the office. My view is pretty sweet! The #childrenofjoy are playing in the sand under the oak tree. Michaelmas daisies! #kinardgarden The children of joy are happy with our long-awaited cold front! #texasautumn #childrenofjoy My children show up in my kitchen in costume several times a day. What cracks me up is the blasé attitude and side eyes they affect when they allow me to take a photo. 😄 #childrenofjoy Princess cousins. #childrenofjoy
