You don't have to go far . . .

to find . . . 

Inspiration

something to quiet the mind

things that are ordinary

and beautiful

things right outside your front door

bubbles and reflections in a water fountain

flowers and petals that have dropped to the ground

a fern growing in between timbers used at a table at my nursery without dirt

water drops hanging on to the dried pine that dropped from the trees

beautiful, simple things

that remind you that there is so much to see

when we really look

things that make you slow down

take notice

and give thanks for right here, and now

[p.s. can I ask a favor? my boy has some blood work next week at his infusion. his

red blood cell count has been elevated and it needs to come down or he may have

to have some more extensive tests. Will you pray with us that it goes down to normal? xo]

Have a wonderful weekend, and stay warm!

Love, Kim

The Rose . . .

Its beauty is bold but whispers softly.

It pierces the deepest part of my soul, 

and on any day the scent of it has the ability to make time pause.

We often criticize that the rose bush has thorns,

but perhaps we are not seeing that the thorn bush has roses.

And in life if there were no pain, would we recognize the beauty?

Until tomorrow . . .
Love, Kim
