Sunrise

At 6:30 this morning I noticed dark, gloomy clouds outside my window.

Fifteen minutes later they were lined with pink.  Sunrise!








I cannot help but think of Psalm 30:5, “… joy cometh in the morning.”

So it does.

A few minutes more, and we have light!






The sky is a lovely shade of blue.  The older 5 are safely off to school.  My little ones are full of snuggles.

Last night’s messes
look much smaller in the morning. My heart, like the sky, feels full of light.

It’s going to be a great day!

Beauty in Monotony

Most projects  have steps that are fun and some that are necessary but really not enjoyable.  Basting quilts are, for me, necessary but not very fun.  Who likes kneeling on the floor to put a couple hundred safety pins through three layers of fabric?


As I basted my Chirp Chirp quilt, I straightened up for a minute to rest my back and my eyes fell on my basket full of safety pins.

Beautiful.  And the whole exercise was changed.

Today I wish you a glimpse of unexpected beauty in some monotonous activity.
