I kept my camera close at hand all morning and pressed the shutter often. Look, I found beauty in our unrenovated, avocado bathroom. I doubt that I would have noticed if I'd been at the meeting that was on the calendar...
I'm thankful for the change in our plans this week; it has been nice to slow down {before we really even got going}. I'm thankful that He gives us days at home, and that He gives us eyes to see and enjoy our Father's world.
Today was a beautiful, ordinary morning... it made me wonder why I let the calendar fill up more often than I should. We're committed to living simply but I still fall into the trap of thinking that I need a reason for not staying busy. Our family is happier and more content when we have simple, quiet days at home. Isn't that reason enough?
Simple, ordinary bliss today {despite the germs}! Thank you, God, for slowing us down.
