Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com Hello folks and welcome back to another post from The Eason Clan. So I spent two hours writing yesterday, and my WordPress App glitched out and I lost EVERYTHING I wrote (it was a pretty solid blog post too, if I do say so myself). Yet even after I complained … Continue reading “You Can’t Stop It!”
Cold. Damp. Mysterious. A fog horn sounds: guiding you home. One minute you're walking on a gravel path, the next your enveloped in a thick blanket of grey. Landmarks become useless to the 'eagle eyed' hiker. Experienced walkers lose their bearings. The average person becomes disoriented. A fog horn sounds: guiding you home... Suddenly a … Continue reading Ode to Newfoundland Fog
Walking past the blossoming flowers, the scent of lavender fills my nose. A beautiful aroma, cascading my senses and reminding me of Your Grace. I need this reminder. Why? Because some days are just plain rough. You hear some bad news, and instantly you feel a gut-punch to your stomach - and a hay-maker to … Continue reading Beauty In The Pain
"Fireeeee truck. Fire TRUCK!!! Here comes the firreeee truck." Maybe if I roll over, the song will stop? Grabbing the blankets, I pulled them to the top of my neck and turned onto my side. Silence. A brief lull? Did he actually stop? "FIRE TRUCK! FIRE TRUCKKKK! HERE COMES THE FIRE TRUCK!" It's 6:10 in … Continue reading Short and Sweet: Slowly Developing Patience…Very Slowly.
An ancient rock-cut tomb entrance with a large round rolling stone door "Hey, hey, we're the Monkees..." That song accurately describes what our children were like nearing the end of our COVID isolation period - an army of monkey extras in Planet of the Apes. It also describes what our house was like - a … Continue reading Blog Challenge: Railene’s Request
A sparse isolation cell labeled for COVID-19 with bunk beds and a barred door Like the rebels surviving against The Empire, for two years The Eason Clan have gone unscathed - until now. Like Gollum climbing down the steep cliffs west of the Anduin River hunting Frodo in The Lord of The Rings, COVID leapt … Continue reading Eason Wars: The COVID Strikes Back
I won't keep you long today, but I wanted to share two thoughts with you. Being a parent sometimes isn't easy. It can be stressful; while other days can be down right nuts-o. Even though it is one of the most rewarding things in life - having the responsibility to love, guide, support and parent … Continue reading Days Gone By: Enjoying The Moments Before They Are Gone
Not exactly your Marvel Avenger's line up, but I've got a feeling The Eason Clan could overwhelm one villain if we worked together - maybe a lame sounding character like Egghead or Asbestos Lady (yes, actual Marvel villains). Shout out to my friend XerxesInEaster, for the awesome image she created for us: Isaac's super speed, … Continue reading Short and Sweet: Eating with Camels, and Losing Our Imaginations
If I had to pick a powerful image from the Second World War it would be the one above. American tank crews of four Sherman M4A2 tanks, heads bowed and hands clasped, with a Chaplin leading them in prayer in Northern France,1945. Quite an amazing image of battle hardened soldiers, crouching in the mud with … Continue reading The Power of Prayer During Wartime
I want to share this special post with you all today. I transcribed the audio from my children's prayers this morning, on their way to school in the van. I felt I had to record their prayers, as the past few days have been beautiful just listening to them pray. There is great power in … Continue reading The Prayers of Four Children for Ukraine
