Ice cream, chai... and all things comforting - or at least some

-
At this very moment, I am reclining on my bed, in the middle of the day, the sun is shining in my open window, a breeze is flowing through the house, as Pepper is all sprawled out and snoring under the natural light.  I hear birds singing in the trees... a delicious quiet stillness envelopes my house, my room...

Sometimes, we just need to listen to the cry of our hearts... the little child inside of us... and allow them to tell us what to do.

Reading homework on the swing in the back yard...

Getting a soft-serve ice cream cone at McDonalds, eat it as slow as you possibly can with the sunroof open... letting the wind be your orchestra.

Drinking a chai... savoring it's warm spicy calming complexities, as you walk through Lowes shopping with your favorite person.

Enjoying a warm affectionate hug with your sweetie... in the middle of the pasta section at Publix... just because.

Play... laugh, sing and dance.

Matthew 18:3  Jesus said, "What I'm about to tell you is true.  You need to change and become like little children.  If you don't, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

Little moments mean so much, wouldn't you say?? Those little flashes of memory, those snapshots of time that make up a little piece of who you are...

Psalm 62 - Find Rest, My Soul, in God Alone

-

My soul finds rest in God alone, My Rock and my salvation, A fortress strong against my foes, And I will not be shaken. Though lips may bless and hearts may curse, And lies like arrows pierce me, I’ll fix my heart on righteousness, I’ll look to Him who hears me. O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward; Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God. Find rest, my soul, in God alone Amid the world’s temptations; When evil seeks to take a hold I’ll cling to my salvation. Though riches come and riches go, Don’t set your heart upon them; The fields of hope in which I sow Are harvested in heaven. O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward; Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God. I’ll set my gaze on God alone, And trust in Him completely; With every day pour out my soul, And He will prove His mercy. Though life is but a fleeting breath, A sigh too brief to measure, My King has crushed the curse of death And I am His forever. O praise Him, hallelujah, M...

What are you reading? Melanie at monday through sunday tagged me for this meme. The Rules: 1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages). 2. Open the book to page 123. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the next three sentences. 5. Tag five people. The book I am reading right now is:.....Mere Christianity, by C.S. Lewis. A wonderful classic! "That is not the point in which faith comes in. But supposing a man's reason once decides that the weight of the evidence is for it. I can tell that man what is going to happen to him in the next few weeks. There will come a moment when there is bad news, or he is in trouble, or is living among a lot of other people who do not believe it, and all at once his emotions will rise up and carry out a sort of blitz on his belief." I don't know that many to tag!!

A New month, a new job, a new class (online), a new week: I like new beginnings! Spring is coming.... oooooh, I can't tell you how excited I am to see Spring - flowers, green grass, warm sunshine, windy days (to sail!), maybe planting an herb garden (I hope!), EASTER! Yeah, I LIKE SPRING! My heart is full and if it could have a face, Smiling. God has been doing some amazing things in my heart, I will be posting more about that later but I can only rejoice over His Faithfulness and tenderness to me. I may even be a little radiant today.... Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. Psalm 34:5
