We were so happy that we had 10 quilts to turn in this month. Here's one of them:
What a blessed retreat! It was just what I needed. The grounds are so serene and restful.
The views majestic -
The grounds so spiritual
and the mediation places so attune to the Lord.
They fed us so good I skipped lunch on Sunday because I was still so full from the wonderful breakfast they gave us that day.
This was a silent retreat, so from Friday at 8 PM until Sunday, 12 PM we were not to talk. It was hard for some, but I prefer it.
Other things I liked during the week - all manner of flowers are emerging - here's the first freesia:
Go check out Lee Anna's post of I Like Thursdays - it's always fun to go there.
Good Morning! That is a wonderful donation of a sewing machine to your group. Fabulous! And the grounds look so wonderful, and as you said with magnificent majestic views. A silent retreat - I would probably have an issue with that for the first day but then would adapt. I am a chatterbox though - that's what my elementary school teachers always said about me. Anyway, it sounds wonderful and restorative. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds like such a wonderful meditative retreat! I love the idea of it being silent. It's probably good practice for all of us to be genuinely quiet for a while. I'm so glad you went and it was refreshing. And fabulous do have gotten 10 quilts out of it!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so beautiful and peaceful. Sounds like you had a great time. Hope you have a wonderful Thursday and weekend as well!
ReplyDeleteYour retreat sounds wonderful, and it looks like a beautiful place to be!
ReplyDeletewhy silent? I like some silence, but then when like minded people get together there is so much to share. I always wonder... read about silent retreats and didn't get it. I am too much in my head anyway, and might just spin in too much silence! How did it effect you? LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteA retreat of silence, that's interesting. Long ago, I went to a Quaker worship meeting in which we were all silent for the hour. It worked for me.
ReplyDeleteThat retreat sounds wonderful. Silence is golden. And, I bet you got a lot done while meditating in that beautiful surrounding landscape.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful spot. I haven't been on a retreat in ages (although my trips to Kripalu come pretty close to the feeling). Silent times are good.
