2025-06-29 “Easy Sunday” by Emma (born 1861)

Good morning! Me an’ Merritt are walkin’ to church together—it’s one of my favorite Sunday routines. We go slow, hand in hand most the way, and sometimes we pass folks we know. Just feelin’ settled today.

Well, we were almost to the corner when he said, “Hold up a second.”

 I turned around, and he already had his phone out.

 “I like when you smile like that,” he said. 

So here’s that smile he took a picture of.

Emma stops on the way to church so Merritt could snap a picture.  Emma Knox walks down a quiet Brooklyn street dressed in a green patterned sleeveless dress with a beaded necklace. Her light brown hair flows in soft waves, and she’s smiling warmly at the camera. The overcast sky and tree-lined sidewalk create a peaceful Sunday morning vibe. The scene suggests she’s headed to church, capturing a candid moment mid-step on the sidewalk while cars line the street behind her.

Later today I’ll be workin’ on laundry and helpin’ Melissa sort a few things for the housing board. (She’s real thoughtful about what families need most when they’re comin’ out of homelessness.) It’s a joy to watch her turn her hardship into a blessing for others.

An’ being a kindergarten teacher, she’s out for summer break. That means she’s got more time to put in on Stop-Gap Housing work.

Well, my verse this morning was one I’ve always loved:

“Let all that you do be done in love.” —1 Corinthians 16:14

Ain’t just about romance—it’s about showin’ up with kindness, even in chores and choices and words.

Hope your Sunday’s peaceful.
