outside

The weather here the past few days had been absolutely beautiful - green grass and blue skies in between the much needed rain storms.  I made it a point to make sure we got to spend some time outdoors this long holiday weekend - ignoring chores and laundry and the "stuff" of life that can wait - choosing instead to work in the  garden, take Char scootering by the river, and just enjoying a nice long neighborhood walk with my sister, the kids, & the dogs.  I needed to soak in some sunshine.  Soak it into my heart - a heart thirsty for light and goodness and the comfort of being out in God's beautiful creation.
