Beauty in every season…

015pk

Every season has its own unique beauty…

007pk

Treasure that can only be found in that season, that day, that moment…

014pk

If we only have eyes to see…

If we only choose to look.

In every season of life,

seasons of joy, seasons of sorrow, seasons of peace, seasons of trial,

there is beauty.

The laughter and ease of the season of joy,

the consolation and comfort He gives in the season of sorrow,

the calm and serenity of a season of peace,

the treasure He gives in the dark seasons.

If we only have eyes to see…

If we only choose to look…

Beauty, His Beauty,

in every season, every day, every moment.

**********

I continue to count my thanks

piling up gratitude day by day

in my little green journal…

-Sunday, our church, God’s Presence, lives touched

-cold morning, warm fire in the fireplace

-hot coffee

-snuggly afghan crocheted by my Mama

-cleaning out our storage closet and sorting through 35 years of sweet card, letters, and drawings

from the Hubs, our girls, our grandbabies, my Mama

-our sweet granddaughters and grandson

-lovely winter’s day walk

-seeing God working out His plans and purposes in our children’s lives

-cooking and sharing a frittata with the Hubs after a late evening meeting

-Kari Jobe’s song, My Beloved 

-fun date day with the Hubs

-an unexpected rebate check

-provision to get some new clothes

 

Gratefully yours,

Elizabeth

  6. Beautiful winter photos, Elizabeth!

    As I so often do, I read your list of thanksgiving and nodded my head in agreement time and time again.

    This week, this one particularly spoke to me:

    "Seeing God working out His plans and purposes in our children’s lives"
