The Book of Common Prayer | 
bailedSecond in my DNF Era. I've been reading this for ages. I told myself I'd read a page or two each morning to start my day in reflection and prayer. But here's the thing, I'm not from the Anglican tradition and didn't realize that this is more liturgy than prayers. I rarely want to pick it up and typically choose to start my day with a few poems instead. Rather than have this languish on my bedside I'm ready to admit, I'm just not that interested.
After seeing @merelybookish post about her great grandfather's Bible, I was reminded of the pics I took of this family heirloom the last time I visited my mother. This is her mother's Book of Common Prayer. My grandmother was about 20 years old when she entered her name in 1910. It must have been shortly before she emigrated to the US. #history #anditsaugust @reallifereading
How beautiful the hands that served the wine and the bread and the sons of the earth
