Spring is here and I couldn’t be more happy about it. I have not lived here before in Spring so it is a joyful suprise to find out what is popping up around the yard that I didn’t know would be there. These are the little things in life that I am trying to be thankful for during this trying time in our lives. I want to share a bit of this beauty with you so you can be thankful for beauty along with me!
This little beauty showed up in a whiskey barrel by the front door.
These, in a bed along the neighboring yard.
Just gorgeous!
These appeared at the end of my driveway. I was going to rip out this barrel too because it is all broken.
And what am I really praying for? I am not sure anymore. I think that I thought I was praying for specific things to happen but I decided today that I need to just pray. Not for a specific outcome to anything but just a simple thought sent to God to lead me in the right direction. After all, there is no sense in praying for something that is not the right thing for you and really who knows what is their path but God anyway. I have been learning over the past year how hard it is to let go and let God as they say but I am finding the more I surrender, the more peace that I find. Today is the only day we have. Live it to it’s fullest and let God lead your way. We are only people after all and we can’t do it alone.
Find something worth being thankful for. It is a rough time for many but the strong and those with faith will see the other side with hope and a purpose for tomorrow.
