Eyes To See & A Heart To Be Grateful

Sometimes life seems to be one major thing right after the other, with easily unsung beauty in between. 

Savoring the little things: a cool breeze on my face, a perfectly formed flower blooming in a hidden crevice, the rumbling rattle of my cat's purr, the perfect cup of coffee, the delight of my granddaughter's giggle, the sound of dry grass crunching under my horses hooves....

These easily missed, absolutely free treasures, give me strength to face the big things.

Lord, give me eyes to see You all around me, and a grateful heart that invites your grace. Truly you are good, and there is always something to celebrate. 
Always.
