Simple Things

  • wiping away tears of joy at the wedding of one who is like a son to us
  • crisp early mornings with the golden hue of autumn warming the soul
  • coffee with hazelnut creamer in my favorite fall mug
  • our youngest ~ a fountain of information and perpetual joy
  • our new freshman's face alight with excitement and confidence upon his arrival home from school
  • our firstborn giving a speech before community leaders, causing me to whisper, "Thank You, God..."
  • an unexpected lunch date with my beloved
  • a phone call spanning thousands of miles, yet serving as a reminder that our hearts are as close---or closer---than ever
  • a lunch date of hummus on flatbread with girlfriends after 2 1/2 months apart
  • visiting for hours with two of our former "kids" who are strongly walking with Jesus
  • daily texts with the ones I love
  • reuniting with my small group girls
  • praying for our high school with like-minded moms
  • my "home sweet home" candle burning brightly
  • reminders...big and small...of God's grace everywhere I look.
"See the Lord and His strength;
seek His presence continually!
Remember the wondrous works
that He has done..."
1 Chronicles 16:11-12a
