Beauty

There it is. Resplendent in the dawn. It is the beauty of a new day. Accept it. Embrace it. This beauty is yours.

Loving to laugh

It was any other day at the grocery store--except for a humorous exchange at the check-out lane.

I had just deposited my purchases on the conveyor belt. Then, showing a small act of courtesy, I placed the plastic divider for the customer's order behind me.

"Oh, thank you!" the customer exclaimed.

"Well," I said, teasingly, "I didn't want to pay for your groceries!"

She laughed, and the clerk hooted. He laughed so hard that others took notice, responding appreciatively for the chance to smile. The air was filled with goodwill.

Now, I'm far from being a seasoned comedian. But I do know this about the human heart:

It is joyful.

It is playful.

It is spontaneous.

And it loves to laugh!

Listening, loving

The deepest, most profound act of giving comes through listening with an open mind and loving with a pure heart.

Love's holy ground

Love really is walking that delicate line between possessiveness or neglect. The middle ground is the holy and happy ground in a loving relationship.

Soul space

The world may be cold
Calculating
Callous

The soul is pure

Carve out time for
Reflection
Peace
Nurturing

Create soul space
