I just love

I hear the sweet melodies of Shakey Graves on my computer and a soothing warmth comes over me forcing a smile on my lips.

I taste the first couple sips of that creamy coffee and close my eyes to soak in this quiet moment of satisfaction.

I feel the cool breeze flowing freely as I drive down the road and slowly inhale to take in the smell and touch of this invisible dancer.

I see the beautiful copper strands of hair laying softly on her face as she distantly gazes out of the window and I sigh as every fiber of my being is grateful for her existence.

I read the sweet words of love poured out for me and I quiet my disbelief that I could be worthy of such magnificence not only paying me attention but desiring a relationship with me.

Colossians 3:12-17
¹²Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. ¹³ Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. ¹⁴ And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
¹⁵ Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. ¹⁶ Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. ¹⁷ And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Ephesians 5:1-2
 ¹ Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children ² and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

 

 

It really is about the little things.

Life is relational, not material.
