I love a fresh, new month. It’s a great month to begin your health journey, your writing, your house project or anything else you have on your list of dreams-to-come-true. Why not start small with a simple change to your life? You can take a 10 minute walk, clean something for 10 minutes, drink a glass of water, or plan a healthy meal. You can look for blessings and record them.
I’ll start.
Right on time, the first raspberry of the season ripens. It’s going to be a great month! Let’s harvest some of the things we’ve planted into our souls, shall we? I also notice the mother robin still on her nest. She never seems to leave it. I love the vigilance of motherhood. I also love thinking about something I learned from Susie Larson yesterday. She talked about how we might “stop bracing for impact” and instead anticipate the goodness of God each day. So many of us are bracing for impact. What if we loosened our grip and took on a posture of receiving? What if went into the garden and picked the raspberry waiting just for us?
