I bought myself a present ;-) and it came today. Such a nice surprise!
I was going to ask for this for my birthday from my husband and kids but I am leading Morning Prayer and will receive critique and feedback at my next class, so I splurged. It is a Prayer Book and Hymnal combined! Leather bound and I am going to have my name put on the cover (at some point). I am as excited as 4 year old on Christmas morning. I am leading worship tomorrow for Morning Prayer and I think I will use it. I have always used my little paperback version with my photograph bookmarks - I think I will still have to stash a few photos in it.
Also...since this feels like true confession Tuesday - I got Celtic Daily Prayer; prayers and readings from northumbria community and Celtic Prayers From Iona by J. Philip Newell and A Contemporary Celtic Prayer Book by William John Fitzgerald.
I keep feeling called to an evening worship service - for about a year and a half now. I haven't discerned what it fully means yet. I am trying to be patient. But I have used some prayers out of these books and thought they would be perfect for my little growing library. A feast for my soul. Happy Birthday (early) to me!
