I’m working on a quick little birthday crown for Wren, her flax light sweater is blocked and finished, and her little linen birthday dress came in time, also. It is very bittersweet to think we are already at her first birthday. More than any of the other children, her first year has flown by in all the hustle and busyness of life with four kids.
I’m savoring Placemaker: Cultivating Places of Comfort, Beauty, and Peace. I’ll share some words with you:
“This magnetic pull toward beauty is an inclination most of us carry but too few of us acknowledge. Even if we are aware of it, we seldom honor it as something planted in us for a purpose. The rushing world has convinced us that beauty is something extra, not the thing itself. I would never have guessed…that the hand that compels us to stop and stare at something as insignificant as a beautiful tree in flower might be the hand of God. Rarely do we know what is at stake when beauty surprises us into stillness and we pause to listen, even for a moment, to creation’s song.”
I hope you find a few moments today to pay attention to that invitation to pause and enjoy the beautiful.
