It's Lent and that's been a whole thing. Possibly, that explains it.
I've found myself stirring up trouble, speaking out of turn, or against my inner compass at times - each time feeling very nearly out of control.
Then I saw Why am I not further along in my Christian walk? and decided to just take a walk.
I took some pictures.
These are not the high-quality, super appeal-to-the-masses kind of photos that generally accompany photo blogs. These are, however, places that I see beauty and blessings. I do, in fact, see it all around me and nearly all of the time when I'm making good choices about where I turn my gaze.
A friend just posted a picture where she sees the same. It's a picture of her daughter, wearing a pink princess dress, hair all a'yonder, and holding a garden slug as if it were the tiniest, sweetest baby bird. My friend says that when her girl realized she would get to hold the thing, she exclaimed ~ with much fervor ~ that she had waited her "WHOLE LIFE" for a garden slug.
I pray that young'un never loses her heart or her enthusiasm or her desire or her ability to see the beauty and blessing that God does deliver all around us.
I pray that you may see the same.
