There is so much in the world for us all
if we only have the eyes to see it, and the heart to love it, and the hand to gather it to
ourselves. ~L.M. Montgomery
I love this quote. I truly believe this. The world around us is full of amazing things for us if we will allow ourselves to be aware and to receive. So many of the things that have the potential to give us joy are little things, little things that we can miss unless we awake up and notice. All that is required is openness. Look around and find the beauty – the joy. Open our arms and receive. Allow our hands and our hearts to be filled to overflowing.

And the curve in the road to my home that reminds me to trust that my journey continues even though I can’t see around the bend,

The sun streamed light into my kitchen window through blinds that created neat striations. Something different and fun. Love your excitement too and the quote. The word 'Gather' is special'. Thanks, Andrea
I love light as well, especially light on the surface of water creating little sparkles and shimmers. Glad you gathered some joy. Thanks for stopping by.
lovely flowers! You know one day I was having a very bad day, to say the least and a friend that was in Japan just happened to show up at my door, unannounced trip to the states. With coffee in hand and scones she immediately knew my state of mind and so we sat and drank coffee, and looked up verses about joy. I will never forget that.
What a lovely gift to bring you comfort and joy. I am always amazed and so grateful when divine grace brings me just what I need at just the right moment. I have enjoyed following your blogs. You have come through so much and come out with a passion to gather beauty and joy and share them with your readers. Thank you.
