grace

It’s sunny and peaceful in our backyard and I am surrounded by shades of green and the sounds of birds and a gentle breeze rustling the leaves. I am at peace and filled with what is not far from a heavy heart.. but its just a full heart, grateful and filled with reverence at the undeserving. Tim encouraged me to replace the stolen camera and I am heavy with the grace he has extended to me in this. Irresponsibility should beget true loss, not freely given and replaced. In this space of heavy gratitude, I am reminded that my understanding pales when contrasted with salvation. I do not think I understand with any weight of responsibility this true gift I really have been given. Far more meaningful than a camera.

But today, this gift of a camera points me in the direction of gratitude. And my gratitude shall manifest itself in far too many pictures for one post. In no particular order, here are just some of the many things that have been my focus in the last month.

Reading: Three Cups of Tea (and loving it)
Listening: Peaceful Sunday morning backyard sounds
Looking Forward to: Cooking something for the first time in weeks, doing the dishes, maybe quilting, church tonight and resting…
