Two activities I love…
Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations, and say continually: The Lord is my strength and shield; my heart has trusted in Him and I am helped. He is not only with me, but in me and I in Him. – Francis de Sales

A bookshelf I love…
A book I love (currently reading)…

Today is April 3rd. It’s the first Monday of the month and my mom’s birthday. Happy birthday, Mom! It feels right to share some things I’ve been enjoying lately. We’ve had a lot of things to process, plan, and share over the telephone. To be able to document and share some things that have brought me joy feels like the right thing to do. Consider this post a visual “stop.” It’s a call to notice the small things that exist alongside the hard. These small things don’t need to fight for attention, nor are they wrong to exist despite the ease they bring to my life. These small things I love, in a way, cleanse the air I breathe so that breathing feels easy.
This post is for the love of living.
For the love of noticing what’s beautiful today.
This post is for the shield I am resting behind, and the One who is with me.
Happy Monday, my friends.
xoxo, Maggie
