Surprised by pears
A prayer for God will open my eyes to what treasures he has hidden in plain sight.
As “tov” as it seems
In God’s mercy, some things, even with their inherent imperfections and difficulties, really are as truly good as they seem, as wonderful as you hope they’ll be.
A posture of gratitude
I’ve found that the practice that has done the most to cultivate a heart of gratitude to God is not a mental list of things to be thankful for, but a physical posture that allows me to reach for God, right in the moment.
A blessing for these aspen-golden days
May you find yourself in a “thin place” between heaven and earth, where the goodness and peace and delight of the new creation isn’t that hard to imagine.
