Thank you Stephen for this post and blessing. Thomas Keating. Thank you so for including the picture. Discovering his books on the opening days of discovering the contemplative way just a few years ago, was like settling into a warm and gentle place with a most warm and gentle man who still brings tears to my eyes. As do the words and gentle way of Dallas Willard. Both were the humblest of men who stood tall in their understanding of their God and His love for them. May you and Gwen and your family live in the fullest of blessings throughout this blessed Christmas season and the unfolding days ahead.
What an amazingly powerful and beautiful blessing you have penned! I will read it again and again and again. We deeply love and appreciate you and Gwen. Merry Christmas, my friend!
You and Gwen were a turning point in my life back in 2008 when I was worn out and tired . You called me beloved and asked me what I wanted. Two things no one had ever said or asked before .
I’m forever grateful for you and your ministry ! Blessings my friends!! Much love and merry Christmas
Thank you Stephen! A very introspective and needed word for today and everyday. I'll plan to dig deeper into this one but wanted to affirm your comments today.
Patrick, this blessing was true of you when I met you as a 14 year old boy. Now you are in the second half of your life and this is more true of you now. As I look back at your formation, I think it was your parents who spoke this into you. I was only a witness to who you were and are!

Any blessing that is really a blessing needs to be read over and over. Blessings need to sink into us cell by cell. Thank you Jared!

You two are a blessing to us in how you live and the ways you live your life in Spain on the Camino. I hope to be your guest one day soon.
