On most evenings, when weather in The Mitten allows, the Mr and I come outside for a bit. The back porch consistently cures the day’s troubles. In truth, this day hasn’t been troublesome at all, making the evening all the nicer.
We’ve made a practice of thanking God for every day of health and well-being. Today’s weather was practically perfect so our bird feeders are filled and we can almost touch the promises of Spring flowers and coffee outside in the mornings. All of the sorrows and worry of the recent days have nourished a deep and humble gratitude. I’ve always been grateful for home, but I don’t know that I’ve ever been quite so desperate for shelter. Safe at home, how heavily those words sit in my heart these days.
I pray that you are sheltered, peaceful and safe this evening. Truly, a daily miracle of global proportion.
