The sweetness of simple things...

 

It seems that when I release the need for control, God finds a way to fill me with the sweetness of simple things...

I finished the prayer shawl today.  I lovingly folded it and will find the perfect way to wrap it and deliver it.  The simplicity of prayer - the simplicity of knitting that created a tangible reminder - you are not alone, you are loved, you are prayed for, God's grace and mercy will be sufficient for the day...

An email in my inbox - newsy and personal  - filled my day with sheer joy.

A younger brother makes a glass of chocolate milk for his big brother and proclaimed it "perfect"!

A cool breeze on a summer night.

The warmth of the sun on my face.

The tired snuggle of an old bird, comfortable and easy with me.

A new knitting book.

A ball of baby alpaca yarn.

An I love you from a beloved 200 miles away.

simple.

and it is enough.
