was challenged this week to look for the ugly~beauty...
often that can be found in the very middle of my day
for example my work space.
planners.
calendars.
phone.
text books.
schedulers.
lessons to be checked.
piles.
the ugly is obvious. it’s a mess. work to be contended with.
the beauty...not so obvious.
but here it is.
it is a life fully lived.
it is a life lived for others.
it is a life of learning.
it is a life of honing habits.
it is a life of re-do’s.
it is a life of always having the work of my hands daily in front of me.
it is a life of lacking pretty much...nothing.
it is...
the joy of never being bored |
the joy of play |
the joy of wonder |
the joy of the busy life |
the joy that i do have a kitchen...albeit in the messy midst |
the joy of comic relief |
the joy of afternoon refreshment |
the joy of a smirky smile |
the joy of being inseperable |
the joy of homemade peanut butter |
the joy of a new book |
the joy of running free |
the joy of sweet hands |
the joy of a new day |
for a chance to be still and reflect by way of photo.
for the time to let the mistakes of the week wash away.
for a review of the gifts that i DID capture...
knowing plenty abundant blessings escaped my lense.
the joy dare::as inspired by the holy experience
Ooh, I can not believe how big your baby is getting!!! Lovely glimpse at your everyday life :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to look for the joy in the little everyday moments that make up our life. It's these little things that make the whole picture, so beautifully blogged and photographed!
