#shadows
I went for a much needed walk today with a great friend. But had to stop to take a picture of the shadows off the rocks.
It reminds me the Lord created everything and we are all important. Even the smallest pebble is worthy of a shadow.
Just as the little choices and decisions we make today will cast shadows effecting ours and other lifes in worthy ways we can't even comprehend.
#somethingred
As i pondered this morning for something red that would remind me of the blessings I've been given, my eyes fell on these two gift sitting together in my bedroom.
First is a gift of plants and flowers from my husband. He bought these for me when I came out of the hospital and they sit where I often see them and think of how sweet my husband is, and the beauty in the creations of the Lord.
The second one is a gift it received from a amazing friend. It is a book with it's title in red font. "Sunshine for the Latter-day Saints Soul". It's book is full of short stories of peace, love and courage.
I'm grateful daily for the little blessing in my life that makes big differences daily in my heart.
#junkdrawer
AsI took a serious look at the junk drawer of my night stand I guess my drawer does show alittle about things that are important to me. I've a collection of essential oils, a few old digital cameras a sewing kit for quick repairs,tide and febreze to go.
But also a well worn envelope always within reach. My patriarchal blessing. I've read this many many many times when in need of love, courage, guidance and hope. This has been a special blessing to me and is my treasure hidden within a junk drawer.
Today as I thought about hands and how I could depicte hands in the most meaningful way to me, l went to pinterest. I found this beautiful painting of Christ's hand with his sheep. I can see the mark of where a nail had pierced it.
It reminded me I am one of those sheep and he allowed suffering and even death just for me. Like today, when things are hard and I just want it all to end, I'm reminded he suffered much much more then me, and he did it FOR ME personally, for my hurt today and my hurt tomorrow and even my hurt from yesterday.
I'm grateful for his hands to remind me of his eternal unfathomable love just for me.
"Looking up" is the word of the day.
I've loved the beauty of a willow tree in summer or winter. It always look majestic and strongly rooted but willing to follow the will of the wind in whatever direction it may blow.
Today's word is "passion". And since my true passion for homemade chocolate chip cookies don't exist right now. ...i will have to settle for the comfy cozy spot in the middle of the bed where the blankets are messyiest but warmest. 😁
Today I thought about this little loney tree I could see from my window. And when I looked up ...i found this little lonely tree was surrounded with friends, families, mentors and even little birds and bugs who need this tree too.
