As my eyes slowly close I feel the sun beat down on my skin baking the thin layer of water off my bronzed skin. Today is so wonderful.
As I listen to the chatter of the family lying next to me, it is all in love.
As I listen to the laughter of the children playing next to me, it is all in joy.
As I listen to the beating of the heart inside of me, it is all in peace.
As I listen to the sounds of the ocean humming next to me, it is all in patience.
As I listen to the words of a friend sounding next to me, it is all in kindness.
As I listen to discipline of the parents next to me, it is all in goodness.
As I listen to the needs in my brokenness, it is all in faithfulness.
As I listen to the patter of feet running next to me, it is all in gentleness.
As I listen to the desires of my heart, it is all in self-control.
Everything about today has seemed abundant, abundant and fruitful. From a relaxing morning, a fun day on the beach, to productivity in the afternoon, wonderful conversations with my wonderful family, and a strong run. Abundance and fruitfulness must be acknowledged.
This is beautiful, Mel! You’re so attentive and perceptive of so much around you, and it’s honestly inspiring to just see and hear your take on the world.
