Little Bits of Happy

It's been awhile since I've updated. The last post was on quite the serious note, so I figured I'd enter a lighthearted one somewhere in the mix... hence, Little Bits of Happy.

Somewhere in the midst of time literally slipping away, there are little reminders to slow down and simply take in the simple pleasures that are so easy to pass up at times.

Tuesday, for reasons I don't understand, I was completely shaken and distracted... I came to Adopt A Horse with a discouraged heart, and a heart that wasn't ready to spend a couple of hours with a little girl, eager to learn about horses. When I walked in, Laura quietly and sweetly came up to me and said "I brought you some flowers..." :) For those of you who think a discipler somehow loses impact on your heart, you're wrong. Without being cued, she seems to know just what to say or do to bring encouragement.


This mug cost more than a mug ever should, but it quickly moved it's way to "favorite cocoa mug"... On the back, it reads "Do what you like. Like what you do."


Those of you who know me well know just how much I like fall. Bonfires, caramel apples, brisk "hoodie weather", and most of all- falling, vibrant leaves. This is one of many that have been decorating my yard for the past week and a half.


In 7th Hour on Wednesday, Weston taught the youth how to make macaroni and cheese. The Lord has given him an incredible amount of wisdom, and in a way that only Weston can, he imparts some of that wisdom to the youth every Sunday and Wednesday. Through simple lessons, they're learning what it means to follow the Lord while serving others... and it's a joy to watch and be a part of.
