Life, at times, can feel very mundane & ordinary . . . you know? like you’re just waiting for “something” to happen, for the next season, or the next step?
And yet, isn’t it true that, when walking through grief, loss, tragedy, or trials, it is not the grand adventures or wild & crazy dreams we pray for. . . No, we find ourselves longing, hoping, and praying simply for an ordinary day.
A day where the rug is not pulled out from under our feet, a day where the one you love is still here, a day not spent in a waiting room or by a hospital bed….
We hope & pray for the simple things – the things we do almost mindlessly most days.
An ordinary day is truly a gift. A gift that is easy to overlook, easy to take for granted, and easy to forget to say “thank you” for. But the reality is that one day I’ll wish I could live this day again – where I am, with the people I have around me.
I don’t want to reflect back on my life with regret; hoping I had taken more time to soak in the little things.
So I’ll cherish today . . . and tomorrow . . . and the next day . . .
Remembering that:
It’s these ordinary moments,
these seemingly mundane days,
that hold so much irreplaceable & fleeting beauty.
Don’t take it for granted.
Don’t miss it.
“the power of finding beauty in the humblest things
makes home happy & life lovely.”“it’s amazing how lovely common things become,
if one only knows how to look at them”
– Louisa May Alcott
