Isn't everyday, in one way or another, a happy day? There's always something to be most happy about... I will list a few:
Tomorrow... tomorrow I get to make a LOT of cookies for foster families in Austin. I hope they feel blessed (and I hope they have a great southern flair!) And besides, one never knows what a tomorrow will bring.
Flowers... the other day James and I were walking and... there they were! A "field" of flowers along the path we take to the grocery store. So lovely. So very, very lovely.
Joy... I can't help but feel elated when small moments of joy unexpectedly appear amidst the day. Jesus loves to fill the day with these moments. It's found in lending kindness to a stranger or hearing the laugh of a child or finding shapes in fluffy clouds. I love it.
Sincerity... this, too, comes at random times and can be unnoticed. But, try and notice it. Genuine sincerity is something I dearly treasure.
And so many more things make the day better (if you allow them to)... food discoveries, stars, the breaking of dawn, family, friends, shoes, wine, chocolate chips, peanut butter, gardens, farmers markets, boyfriends, laughter, and above all hope in Him. Hope is a wellspring of life and an anchor for the soul. Look in Hebrews... that, too, will bring you a happy day.
- Love, Betsy
