LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDOW AWAITING THE NEW SEASON

 

At the kitchen table I am looking through the window and already feeling the warmth that I know autumn will bring.  She is so dear to my heart that I cannot wait for her to arrive.  I have a place for her in my living, dining, kitchen and family rooms.

I’m sitting at the kitchen table looking out of the window. Out into the gorgeous landscape that helps my creativity to flourish. When I look out into my beautiful backyard I see Rubies in the Garden. In my mind I see abundance and riches overflowing. There is something majestic and awe-inspiring about the Hands and works of Almighty God. It moves me tears and I give Him the praise. As I sit at my kitchen table I reflect upon winters wind and the cold it brings. There is always a message in the weather. There is always hope in the wonder of the goodness in the land and peace seems to abound when I’m surrounded by silence. There is nothing like the joy that encompasses me. I embrace it all wholeheartedly. As I sit here at my kitchen table I hear voices and laughter from the hearts of my four children. Our times spent together. The magnificent memories we have created. The thankfulness they express for the sacrifices my husband I have and continue to make for them. I would do it a million times over if I had to with no questions asked. Giving and gifting is the life I have gratefully and lovingly lived and my children who are now young adults have learned well because they too are extremely generous. Did I say I am thankful and I am blessed.
