Stop, see, count...



510.  hot tea
511. bright, warm candle
512. basket with Bible


513. someone's crocheted beauty
514.  special swing
516. quiet chirping of woods' birds



517.  smells of fall
518. rain glistened oak leaves
519.  quiet

Lord God,
My mind raced this morning with 1000 things to be done,
and you quieted with the drip of rain,
the light of a candle,
the damp of morning and oak leaves,
with a moment to stop and see You in the littlest details,
the small gifts I might have rushed past.
And then, the whole day felt like a gift.
Thank you.
