Today’s post is about a blog post that really, well, really got to me. I love Kimberly’s writing style and her writing is a gift in itself, but the gift is the simplicity of what she has defined, and continues to, on her blog. Like about breathing. And so, as I do with many things, I journaled it, because I want to remember this special gift… With her permission, I quote in part from her post “Joy for the Journey.”
“The joy begins for me in the same place every day, when I wake up and purpose myself to remember that each breath is given, not a given. I don’t own it or earn it–I receive it. From the movement of my limbs, to the sun rising behind the mountains, to the mist on the lake, to the man exhaling beside me, to the dog smelling of wet grass, to the beat-up running shoes, to my children and their own warm breath on my cheek, to every good and imperfect thing I touch or sustain or steward. A bounty beginning with the breath of God.”

Hi Leslie,
Love your blog and thanks for visiting my world at LindaMarie's Garden. Now to hope and pray my seeds have been planted in my children to appreciate the gifts we have all been given. My word this year has been Grace, and I have been gifted with the miracle of peace that trails with it. I send it on to you and all your loved ones. Happy Holidays and I look forward to following along in your world.
With Grace and Love
