"You see, the ocean and the land are the most important providers there can be."

This morning

I slept in!
woke up to a cozy, warm room
had tea (two cups!)
made french toast.

I danced! 

finally discovered John Legend.

It's only noon!

Thank you, God, for peace and life and love and your joyful Spirit who teaches us to savor and enjoy all of it.

I want to look back and think, "I lived this year fully;"
          "I lived this season fully.
           I lived this month fully.
           I lived this week fully.
           I lived this day fully."

With all your help, God.

The First Thirteen Words

It's nice to have been made me.  Thank God for slow, delicious mornings.

Autumn makes a baker of me.

Don't worry,

I will paint the possibility too beautiful for you not to change. 

If you have trusted me to do it, I will do it.

This is indestructible, because it is built on me and not you.

"What gain has the worker from his toil?  I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with.  He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.  I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live;  also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man."
