Simple Joys


This morning I awoke to the sound of rain pounding on the roof and my husband snoring beside me.  I had to just lay there and smile because I was so grateful for the moment.  Life is always just one heartbeat away from eternity.  While I am secure in where I will spend eternity I also have learned to cherish each moment I have here in this life.  It is the simple things that seem to give me the most joy. 
 
 
 
Sharing waffles and hot cider at four in the morning with my husband because I could not sleep after another dream woke me up.  Sitting together in the adirondack chairs long after dark just to be outside as long as we can because we both know soon it will be winter.  Our devotion time together is my favorite.  We have this little book called “Jesus Calling” that we read & discuss each day.  We laugh together, dream and talk about the future.   We will cherish the little joys each day and hang on through the difficult days knowing all of them are numbered and held in God’s hands.  Enjoy each day as it comes and look for the simple joys.
