i like…

old bookstores,

the smell of coffee brewing,

rainy day naps,

Sundays,

and

watching the sun rise.

I like the sweet simple things that remind me that life doesn’t have to be complicated to be beautiful.

endurance & patience

A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Colossians:
Brothers and sisters: From the day we heard about you, we do not cease praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, so as to be fully pleasing, in every good work bearing fruit and growing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with every power, in accord with his glorious might, for all endurance and patience, with joy giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light. He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the Kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Colossians 1:9-14

god’s hands

Lay it down.

The weight. The worry. The doubts.

The what-ifs.

God’s hands are there to hold what your heart can’t carry.

“The Lord sometimes makes you feel the weight of the cross. Although the weight seems intolerable, you are able to carry it, because the Lord, in his love and mercy, extends a hand to you and gives you strength.”

St. Padre Pio
