walking through wet woods
fresh morning air
fasting the speech that brings death
the gift of words that bring life
toothbrushes
moisturizer
jasmine green tea
a friend that now knows she is beautiful, and
how she can see how you and me and them and they are too
just like we are
friends in Japan that are safe
Christ's hands reaching out to those in need
a journal for my 'thankYous' that came just in time
how it was sent in love
that our questions don't threaten Him
He is not weakened by our doubts
how He transforms
makes something out of nothing
the boy at his piano
how his work pays off
days of love and work
nights of rest
honey-colored cotton percale sheets
bedtime tea
lamplight and stories
family prayer
A new journal just in time! How good is that????
ReplyDeleteI especially was drawn to "words that give life." It made me think back over my day today and I wondered if anything I said was really worth saying at all and did they bring life. Thank you for that reminder and rebuke to me! I really needed that! It was so good to have been here and read your list!!! A real blessing!
just in from dining out with Ms. Teresa... this is dessert :)
ReplyDeletethere is always rest and hope and beauty and grace and peace in the listing of your gifts.
i rejoice with you!
and i patiently long for the again togetherness to walk through wet woods in fresh morning air, to sip jasmine green tea, to see your beloved boy at the piano (& your beloved girl too :), to marvel together at the transformation only He can bring, to bow heads together for family prayer... all in His sweet time.
i love you, Dear One. i am ever thankful for you :)
