Breathing

In the midst of life's bumps and bruises, when I feel less than capable and more than a bit worn, I want to dispel doubts, vanquish foes, and revel in the love and gratitude I have for all that is beautiful, worthwhile, and good. Hope lives... in children, and pets, in safe places, and comforting spaces, in 390 volunteers arriving at a school to make things nicer, in children raising enough funds to bring 44 goats to Burundi, in a car repaired, a task accomplished, another meal served, in being contacted with an offer of support, in a ride shared, a back scratched. Little things, great things, moments that are too precious to be overlooked... thank God for these.

Wonderful reminders to be mindful and look at the world around us with open eyes and heart. Thank you for your marvelous list -- which suddenly, when added to the list I have, made the world feel abundant and most gracious. <3
