The Beautiful Life

Monday, August 17th, 2009 | Gratitude

We are in a season of transition around here in so many ways. I’m more encouraged than I have been in a long time, but it can also be overwhelming for someone who is most comfortable when things are the same. I am needing to be reminded of the gifts He gives me every day, the small tokens of love that I so often overlook. I have a feeling this blog is where I’m going to be coming when I need a breath of fresh air, a place to display the gifts and glorify the Giver. In the sticky fingerprints on backdoor windowpanes, there is beauty. In the pile of muddy boots on the deck, there is beauty. In the crumbs on my bed from little ones, eager to be with Mama first thing in the morning, there is beauty. Everywhere there is hidden beauty, waiting to be discovered, if only I can have eyes to see it. God is so good.
