The Grateful 5.

Today, I am grateful for...
1. My mentor who will text me at two in the morning, just because she knows I'm having a hard night.
2. My church family and the hope that communal worship brings to me.
3. Inspiration to journal and create art that communicates my feelings, even when they are not happy.
4. The promise of a new week, and with it, new mercies.
5. "They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads." Revelation 22:4.

It's the Little Things.

Sunshine.
Jazzy music from days gone by.
A patterned notebook.
The reappearance of my treasured journal.

A very good hair day. 

A purple shirt.

Encouraging words from a stranger.

Not-quite-ripe pears.

The absence of tears.

The gentle breeze.

Lunch full of laughter.

Wednesdays.

Calming words from a tiny dear one.

Moments to speak with the Lord.

Restful time.

Ocean colored yarn.

More patience. 

Less heartache.

More Jesus.

Less Anna.
