A Snapshot of Life

I’m sitting out on my deck with the kids playing on the yard down below and the stream that runs through the conservation area just beyond our property is gurgling happily. It’s cool (but not cold) with a lovely, delicate breeze. And the only thing that would make it more perfect is my hubby being home. But as it is, it’s very easy to sit back and be grateful to God for the life I have. And since things have been stressful lately, this is just the balm my spirit needed.

Aren’t you glad when these kinds of little breaths of solace come your way, unexpected and just when you need them?

(Even if I really need new deck furniture because I think I just got a big splinter in the back of my leg from this chair. Ah well – back to writing, and being grateful for the little things.)
