Lord, in our work and play we know your goodness and love. Bless us with joy as we set out for our days of vacation. -Give Us This Day

I am counting my blessings as I head into the long holiday weekend ahead. Yesterday we played tourists in our own town, walking out our door as a family for a morning hike, followed by brunch and then strolling around Chinatown and the Little Italy neighborhoods of San Francisco. I love where I live and enjoy it even more when we can have leisurely- yet active- time as a family, sampling yummy culinary fare while gallivanting all around the City. God is good.

This week I share a couple NPR Tiny Desk Concerts that have entertained me in recent days. The value of national public radio as an entity, and the arts in general, have been questioned by some. I could not be more grateful for the gift of free press, music, and the gifts and talents of the artists who enlighten my life. Blessings on your week ahead!
