"The proximity of a Sabbath practice (in that it happens in direct and regular relationship to my everyday relationships and circumstances) helps to clear my vision to see more completely and lovingly what I have." ~Justin McRoberts, Sacred Strides
Recently, several people have reached out to tell me how much they are enjoying my hydrangeas. I can't take much credit, my mom grew these from her own plants, then placed them along the north side of our house while we were overseas.
Slowing down to intentionally rest certainly helps "clear my vision to see more completely and lovingly what I have". What do I have? Beautiful flowers, certainly. But also, a thoughtful mama and a community that cares enough to tell me that they are also soaking up the beauty of God's creation in my yard.
