Whispering joy...

My life is pretty simple. Work. Church. Family nights. Time with the hubby. Taking care of our home.

Maybe your life is simple. Maybe your life is hectic. Maybe your life is boring. Maybe your life isn't what you want it to be.

But there's always something positive. There are always beautiful whispers of hope. Of joy. Of happiness. Of answered prayers. Of blessings. Of God.

You just have to learn to listen. To pause the duties long enough to find the delight.

Here's a couple of whispered blessings in my life in this moment:

The open windows of my home, allowing the peaceful breeze to blow in.

 

The wide open green of the backyard. 

Old country and worship music playing in the background. 

The faint smell of vanilla from an unlit candle.

My husband in the next room using his talents to work on some projects. 

Finishing the laundry last night, so I don't have to do it today.

The ability to spend time with the Creator of the universe.
  

Getting 2 new shirts and a necklace without having to pay anything - on sale, plus gift card.

 

Typing a few more pages of Ms. Ester's next book.  

Looking back at a busy week where the students came back,

 and I had many opportunities to be used and be blessed. 

Looking forward to church tomorrow morning and time with friends tomorrow night.

Excited to have a busy week ahead - with two nights for family and two nights with friends. 

The satisfaction of writing a new blog.

When it seems like everything's alright. When it seems like things couldn't get any better. When it seems like everything's falling apart. When it seems like things couldn't get any worse...

Take time to hear the whispers of joy. Of hope. Of peace.

The whispers of God loving you. Calling you. Wooing you. Blessing you.
