Wisdom in the Waiting

Résumé du livre

Our middle years can be viewed as a sacred passage -- a bridge between the early formation of our lives and our maturing. For Phyllis Tickle, this bridge and time of growth are much more a land and a place than a series of changing events and circumstances. The land is The Farm in Lucy, twenty acres of working farm in rural West Tennessee where Tickle and her husband Sam raised seven children. A place of great beauty and fertility, it richly rewarded the labors of the Tickle family. Season after season, The Farm grounded their lives and cloaked them with grace, revealing the goodness of God's creation. Wisdom in the Waiting is the second in a series about The Farm In Lucy. These lyrical tales celebrate the sacred moments and luminous beauty that burst forth each spring. From butterflies in the bathroom to palm fronds, family vacations, and "bleeding" birds, Tickle inspires us to see the wisdom that has been waiting for us all along. Book jacket.
