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.
