Dig In…

Life can be messy…but do not be afraid…

Dig in….

Forget about stumbling on the past when you are walking in the present…

Forget about getting lost in the clouds of a future that hasn’t yet arrived.

Be at peace in the “sacrament of the present moment”

Dig into the “I AM”, grace filled now.

And there find the sweetness of God…the joy of His presence in the messy of the present.

“You will show me the path to life, abounding joy in your presence, the delights at your right hand forever.” Ps 16:11

Belly Laugh…

“I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift.” (Shauna Niequist)

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Rom 15:13

 

Contagious…

“They might not need me; but they might.

I’ll let my head be just in sight.

A smile as small as mine might be precisely their necessity.” (Emily Dickinson)

A smile takes such little effort…but given away can become a gift of utmost value.

May your weekend be filled with smiles given and received….they really are contagious you know!

God’s abundant blessings on you and yours this weekend,

The Heart of J

Silly for Saturday #8…

And so I was walking in the park….

Rounded the bend and ran into…

A SMILING duck! And he looks a bit mischievious too!

Have you ever had an animal smile at you?…you can’t help but smile back!

Charles de Lint, Canadian author and folk musician, said, ” I want to touch the heart of the world and make it smile.”

May your weekends be filled with smiles given and received!

Blessings on you and yours, FromtheheartofJ

Dancing with the feet is one thing…

but dancing with the HEART is another!

(a really fun video I’ve came across on a fellow blogger’s site…I wasn’t able to go back and find out which one…so you who shared this thank you!

What if we all began the day with such “spring in our step”? This video made me want to go skip down the street.

Would you join in the dance?

May it bring a smile into your Saturday.

Blessings.
