Our lives are a journey that we walk together not in order to become "good christian women," but rather to draw near to God so that we can reflect His light to those around us. Our stories, our paths, our dreams and our message are all unique. But we hold hands and walk boldly, fearlessly......onward...creating joy, hope, faith and peace in our wake.

Pleasure

Chopping nuts.  Apples.  Melting butter.  Smelling roasting nuts.  Sauteing fresh garlic and onion.  Braising chicken.  Pleasure.
Staring at stars.  Lying in the sun.  Making angels in the snow.  Sinking toes in sand.  Staying until the sun sets.  Pleasure.
Giggles.  Sticky hands.  "Look at me."  Tight hugs.  "My yuv you."  Pleasure.
Pleasure does not require money.  Or busyness.  It requires noticing.  Enjoying.  Choosing.  It's not entertainment.  It is allowing the senses to be on full alert and absorb every good thing about the moment at hand.  Pleasure is good.  God takes pleasure in me.  That is somehow very satisfying.  Comforting.  Uplifting.  Encouraging.
grace to you.
