Purposefully choosing to ~
Enter into each new day with eyes wide open and heart fully expectant.
Focus on the little things that normally would escape notice.
Capture the delightful, the winsome, the joyful, the amazing.
Claim gratitude in the random discoveries of 'whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy' {Philippians 4:8}.
Keep it simple, short, and sweet. Because life is already complicated enough. And I have no idea what's around the next corner.
a wooden fisherman gazes
patiently atop a harborside roof ...
but the boat is the real deal
we shared a mini chocolate-caramel cake
on Valentine's Day & didn't care that
the napkins were adorned with carrots
there's nothing more winsomely majestic
than a lighthouse keeping watch
in a windswept snowstorm
absolutely yes ... scoop up a bouquet of
bright pastel flowers from the supermarket
especially when they're only $4.67
those sad windows & sagging rooftop
caught my eye ... I happily hear that the
house will soon be returned to its former glory
a shared brunch with friends ...
what a deliciously glorious way to celebrate
the blessings of Sabbath worship & rest
as it encased the boulders at
the edge of the bay
'how do we explain that when you stop at a
diner that has a bunch of ads on the placemat
that we don't kiss the people on the ads?'
my heart beats a bit faster when I spy
abandoned houses adorned with
rusty old hardware & chippy paint
favorite hymn ... she painted a sweet
little bookcase that sits fireside by her chair
for worldwide missions creatively designed
a global pizza ... really!
Have you caught a random glimpse or two of God's bountiful blessings in recent days?
Do tell ...
Linda
