Filled To The Brim

                                                             

Sometimes I wonder what I do. Okay don't get me wrong...I have lots to do...every day I seem to have things that I didn't get to that day... Duties or details that somehow went unnoticed...


                                                                  


It really seems that life would be empty were it not for the details that stitch it together...

The details sew the tapestry into days...days become weeks..than years...









There is the details in a day that demand attention. Such as meals, laundry, phone calls....


                                                                           

                                                          bedrooms...


                                                    homemade pizza...

than there is the more subdued side of details that I can; or can not give thought to, 
such as the birds outside my window...the song on the radio,
 or the way the scarf you wear brings out your eyes....




                                                                                                                                 


So I have decided I won't let the details daunt or overwhelm me....


                    blanket fort in our rec room..constructed by two ambitious girls who come here after school....

                                                     


                                             flowers from a thoughtful hubby

I'll remember that God designed each detail; they make my life mine....each a gem of grace from the Giver of life.

    I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. 
                                        John 10:10

  1. Every time I have those 'wonders' I remember that all I need to do is love...it is always simple. That thought always keeps me going on into a new day. My purpose every day being.. to love. And if I have loved, I have done all that was needed.

  3. That back yard ice rink is delightful, Lucy. I think every kid would want one of those. I smiled when I saw the fort in your rec room because all of the neighbor kids growing up used to build dirt forts in the fields behind our houses. What an imagination we had. This is a beautiful post and it reminds me of how God gives us so many things in life, big and small.

    Happy day to you.
