F) FOUR THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THE ORTHODOX CHURCH: Spiritual paternity, the smell (reminds me of praying & the feel of holiness), The Theotokos, The Prayers.
G) FOUR OF MY FAVORITE HOBBIES: Reading, needlework, fiddling in the garden, crochet
I also love the “spiritual paternity” of the Church. That was a good answer.
Great list. I’ve been enjoying reading this throughout the Ortho-women’s blogophere.
Spiritual Paternity, I Love that! Thank you!
And, me too, I like Good and Plenties!
I loved the list. What a terrific idea! You know what I love about church? The quiet stillness and the fullness of God you feel as you are alone in one in prayer. There is a comfort there that I can find nowhere else. Alone, under the cross, at the altar in contemplation of God.
