Blog: Grandpa, come and play with me
A year ago our son suggested that he could bring his family to live in our home office for as long as they were building their new house. That meant we had to start clearing the room.
Blog: The sun or the wind?
”The wind gathered its strength and blew even harder. The trees bent down and the water surged and boiled, but the traveler just wrapped his cloak more tightly around him.” This is an extract from a fairy tale titled The sun and the wind, which was written by Aesop more than 2500 years ago.
Blog: Campus Luokkanen
I’m sure this will be OK. We will just do one month of distance schooling at home. No-one will need to repeat a grade, no-one will be seriously left behind in such a short time. Very good that none of our kids have any need for special support, and I only have five kids to keep an eye on. Some others will have a lot more to do.
Blog: Could less actually be more?
During the exceptional spring of illness and lockdown, many people discovered the recreational value of nature. When you feel utterly exhausted, you can find rest and peace in the forest. I hope that, during the coronavirus pandemic, we learnt to regard nature as a significant source of wellbeing and to choose a more environmentally-friendly way of life.
Blog: Important realization
I start writing this blog post halfway through the Epiphany services of Helsinki rauhanyhdistys. There was a discussion that made me want to write.
Blog: Roller coaster life
When I visited the Paris Disneyland in 1998, I went on a roller coaster ride that passed at high speed through a dark building with planets all around.
Blog: Amid storms
Few topics raise such strong emotions in the Conservative Laestadian community as do the caretaking meetings. All those who grew up within this community have heard the word – and I dare to say that most have heard it in a negative sense. How many of them, however, really know what this expression means? Do you know, for instance, why the caretaking practice started? I did not know before the summer of 2017, when I was able to discuss this topic with people who had personal experience of them.
Blog: "Have you blessed?"
Conflicts sometimes occur in family life. They do occur even when we love each other. Even when I would like to be good and loving toward the other person.
Blog: Letter to my godchild
My dear godchild, I decided to write you a letter. I have been planning to write this letter for some time already. I would like to remember each of my godchildren like this. I was prompted to write a letter when I read an article about godparenthood in a magazine.
Blog: Like a spring day
The sun is shining brightly and the glittering layer of fresh, white snow dazzles my eyes. Yet, only a moment later it seems like someone has switched off the light. Everything looks grey, and the air is full of snowflakes whirled about by wind.
Blog: How perfect he is
There is only the faintest sound of breathing in the silent room. I still feel a bit dazed: is this tiny creature really ours?
Blog: The four decades of our home nest
At the beginning of the first decade the fledgling builders with their youthful dreams began to work on their first nest. They had their first children; there were more things to worry about but also more joy.
Herra on oikeamielinen ja laupias, meidän Jumalamme on armollinen. Herra on avuttomien suojelija. Kun voimani uupuivat, hän tuli avukseni. Nyt olen saanut rauhan, Herra piti minusta huolen. Ps. 116:5–7
