The Simple Things

Sometimes in life we forget about the simple things.

As I awoke this morning, I knew I needed to start my day in the Lord. I had forgotten how great it is when I can meet with Him first thing. Today is my first post and hopefully the first of many. I love writing and I'm going to get back to it at last.

I am meeting my handsome fella for breakfast this morning. The time is obviously currently limited due to my need to freshen up a bit before I jump in Peggy-Rae and hit the road. But before we part ways, here are a few thoughts on the simple things in life that I enjoy and am grateful for but often too many times overlook.

1. Hearing my Mom's voice as she catches up with friends over the phone in the mornings - I'm so blessed to have a Mother like her!

2. The smell of coffee brewing - I think Jesus created coffee just for me! ;)

3. The cool crisp air against my skin - especially when I open up my moon roof in my car!

4. My nephew Caden's sweet little grin; he has the ability to make my heart melt!

5. My cozy quilt - it meets me right here in my bed, along with Jesus when I'm having some rough times.

6. Worship music - there's nothing better than filling your day with sounds of praise and adoration even when life is going haywire.

7. Laughter - listening to others around take part in a joyous chuckle makes me realize that God's peace has not left us and we just need to look a little further.

8. My sisters - many miles of separation and sometimes months of no encounter yet they still seem to be my best friends - I love them!

9. Life - I have so many things to grateful for. In my next post, I will try to list more. But for now I am simply thankful for life!

Until next time,
-Steph
