Sunday morning and I'm feeling it. Gratitude. For this time with my coffee and thoughts. For the fullness of my days which gives me the absolute appreciation of this slow moment. For Saturdays with family and friends to watch the NDSU game. For a mom who likes to spend the game the same way I do, with tea and yarn. For this beautiful life.
The message at the bottom of my tea cup yesterday afternoon foreshadowed the rest of my evening. The whole world is filled with awe at your wonders...
It's going to have to simply become my new normal to add fifteen minutes to my travel time to get anywhere these days because I'm pulled to pull over to the side of the road to catch some beauty, to feel some of that wonder.
Twice last night as I drove to a birthday party celebrating the newest addition to the five year old club.
I gave it an honest to goodness try to only have it be once. Tried to say to myself, "Yes the snow sifting across the field against the setting sun is something, but just keep driving. You already pulled over once." I kept driving. Only to stop two minutes later and throw my car in reverse to get back to the snow sifting spot. Am I glad I did.
Taking the time to notice the world and feel the gratitude is important to me. Fifteen minutes late kind of important.
I just looked up the rest of the verse from the bottom of the tea cup and in its entirety it fits my heart even more.
Psalm 65:8 The whole world is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy.
Psalm 65:8 The whole world is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy.
Happy Sunday morning.
