still saturday: expect wonder
“God is not merely at your fingertips but within your grasp. Live each day like a child digging through a treasure chest, rifling for the next discovery. Open your arms and your eyes to the God who stands in plain sight and works miracles in your midst. Look for him in your workdays and weekends, in your meeting-filled Mondays and your lazy Saturdays. Search for him in the snowy sunsets and Sabbaths, seasons of Lent and sitting at your table. Pray for–and expect–wonder. For when you search for God you will discover him.
“Live awake and aware because wonder awaits.” ~Margaret Feinberg in Wonderstruck: Awaken to the Nearness of God, pp. 27-28
In the stillness,
Sandy

Thank you, Martha. The blog is still under construction, so pardon the dust.
Oh Sandra, I ache for the stillness in this busy season, but here, in the early morning, where my Lord meets me, infant, savior, King, it comes. It comes.
The early mornings seal a bit of stillness for the day, yes?
Beautiful, Sandy. Praying your weekend is restful and full of moments to see more of His glory. God bless you, my friend.

Beautiful pictures of the flowers, Sandy. It almost makes me feel warm looking at them.

Love that river! The Dude’s still at work, but I think it’s mostly tweaking. Giving thanks for the gift of you. Don’t forget. Lunch in the New Year.
Yes indeed, when we look for Him, we will find Him. recently He put it in my heart that all is His gift, all is grace. We just have to open our eyes. Even our challenges are gifts. Dropped by to say thank you for hosting this party every week. A blessed Christmas to you and your loved ones. May you have the choicest gifts of the season- love, joy, hope and peace beyond understanding. Patsy from HeARTworks
