I've had irregular sleep since me moved. So when I woke up at four this morning wide awake, instead of tossing and turning for an hour or two, I figured I'd make the most of the morning while the family was fast asleep. I planned to put on a pot of coffee, read my book and Bible and maybe do some writing until the sky began to lighten from its deep blue night, and sit on the porch to welcome the sun in its rise.
Unfortunately, I didn't last to see the sunrise, and instead, woke to Asher climbing onto the couch to snuggle in under my blanket, and Husband making the coffee. However, the sun is here, today, beaming in its fullness, and there isn't a cloud in the sky.
While reading this morning, I came across a Bible verse that is particularly fitting for The Little Things series:
For the rest, bretheren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things {fix your minds on them}. Phililppians 4:8
Though, life takes its turns, taking account of the little things has brought the blessings in my life to the forefront. I've found the more I acknowledge said moments, the beauty is easier to see, and the more I realize how much there is to be grateful for and celebrate in this life.
A few of the little things...
the pursuit of chasing dreams.
watching my girl be led off to the classroom at Kindergarten Round-up, without knowing another soul and being as happy as can be.
belgian waffles.
the color that is blooming around the property.
old beautiful things.
friends who drop by to visit and know they need not an invite.
the surprise baby Koi in our pond.
{How I hope to purchase a couple rockers like these very soon!}
