New starts. The fact that I awoke this morning with a wealth of opportunities to enjoy and spend my time on.
The warmth of the sun on my back in spite of the chill in my toes (within of just socks but also ugg boots – have I mentioned before how much I don’t enjoy the cold?) and the fact that our house was warmed by a fire last night.
I’m listening to my daughters (aged 19 and 16) voluntarily spending time together, talking and playing with Kiya now we’re home after church.
My house is not clean. The list of ‘stuff I should be doing’ is huge. But I am happy. Even with the hedge clippings that my eldest daughter shook off her clothing, yesterday, in the sunroom, which still litter the floor near my feet.
These clippings mean the mock orange hedge beneath my bedroom windows is now looking amazing, and through my daughter’s – and not my – efforts. They’re glossy green, meaning the plants are healthy and have enough water in spite of the lack of rainfall here in this part of Queensland. Again, through no effort of mine. That’s a God thing.
My part to play in all this? Enjoyment. That’s it. (And pick up the leaves in the sunroom.)
What an amazing blessing that is!
Have an amazing week yourself, dear Reader!
