Embrace the Simple!

 With school starting, I've been reflecting on the joys of summer.

Most of them are simple--butterflies, flower blooms, fresh vegetables,

a dip in the pool with the grands, and time with friends and family.

God doesn't want us to make life so complicated we don't embrace the beauty

and joy of each season.

I love this quote by JRR Tolkien.

Let's celebrate the everyday, simple things!

Simple Things

The older I get, the more I appreciate the simple things.

I was watching the bees land on 

this "obedient" or sometimes called "dragon" plant. 

They buzzed around and gathered pollen, paying no mind to me.

Observing nature colors my soul with joy.

What simple things do you enjoy?
