Summer is in full swing and this post invites me to give expression of simple gratitude as the rhythm of the seasons pulses along.
This morning found me grateful for flitting hummingbirds and butterflies in the perennial garden and a pair of wild turkeys strolling in the back yard with their ten chicks. Now, as dusk settles in, I'm grateful for lingering daylight and flickering fireflies. In the growing darkness, I’m grateful for the faithful appearance of Venus in the Western sky. Bird song has settled down for the night and a chorus of crickets has taken up the beat.
Except for the awareness of these simple pleasures it might have been an ordinary day.
I’m so thankful for eyes to see and ears to hear these evidences of God’s goodness and abundant provision.
How might you give affirmation of the same during these summer days and nights?
Beauatiful reminder of the simple, good things of everyday life.
ReplyDeleteBy being in the moment, as present as I can to what is unfolding around me. Right now it is a stellar sunset over the Bay, concert music wafting down the waterway from afar. Hearing my husband putz around, doing house things to get ready for guests tomorrow. I so appreciate him. Visiting here, remembering the bloom of friendship. Wishing you well...What could be better. All is holy ground.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - nice of you to have popped in with your friendly comment. I'm curious enough to ask, "who goes there?" ;o)
ReplyDeleteJan, thanks for visiting. Honey Girls Blog Spot is, in a way, the fruit of that bloom of friendship you refer too. It's with great delight that the fruit is shared.
