A gentle breeze seemed simple to the town of Cork. There was a coming storm on its way, but it was nothing new to the church of St. Catherine. As such, the Ladies’ Auxiliary gathered baskets of clothing, linens, and canned food for the needy.
St. Catherine was an ordinary town, where St. Catherine’s had a reputation to maintain, one of gentility and generosity. The Ladies Auxiliary had been watching the stormy skies and setting up the tea tables for the coming rain.
Voluntary spinsters swept the sanctuary and dusted benches. After all the work, the storm hit with a vicious vengeance. The Ladies raced about the sanctuary, gathering prayer cards, and locking the office windows.
“Well, ladies. It seems weather has taken our joy of worship. Let’s set and enjoy our worship with the cards.” Nuns do not scurry, as a rule. But some raced to the office, opening the cash box, and cards were dealt.
Money and heavy rains did not matter, as long as there was good strong English tea.
Wednesday Words have been part of bloggers' lives over a decade or more. The words are to share for any blogger who wants to mess around with words.
Use the underlined words, any genre, and give them a whirl.Please post on the justmystory@gmail.com. river-driftingthroughlife.blogspot.com travelswithbirds.blogspot.com
A nice reason to stay in.
ReplyDeleteToday the temp. is about 50 deg. That is the gift of Christmas.
DeleteLovely
ReplyDeleteI would love to have some hot tea with wind and rain.
DeleteThe colored and underlined words are meant to be used by bloggers to grab them and play with the given words. The nuns are excellent to help the St. Catherine congregation. First persons are the ones who have the tea ready.
ReplyDeleteI understood the intent. My question related to where people were to post their use of the prompts. I don't know who the first person is, David doesn't post W4W on his blog, and River posts when she is responsible for the prompts (and each week using her own or other people's words on Friday).
ReplyDeleteI like the sunbeams highlighting the polished pews.
ReplyDeleteThe light shining through is so beautiful.
