A Few of My Favourite Things...

Awareness... of the fact that I was designed and called forth with love for a purpose out of the heart of the One who has created all that there is...

Belief...in the saving power of Jesus...the love of the Father and the comforting guidance of the Holy Spirit...

Cocoa...sharp and heady...mixed with hot milk and a drop of mint extract...

Desire...to give and receive love...

Echoes....soaring across the gorge in Kelowna, up where the trestles weave their way through the wild beauty of the mountains...or across the stillness of Lochiel Lake at home in the misty morning dawn...

Fireflies...dancing in the warm breeze of a summer's eve on the shores of the lake back home in Nova Scotia

God...

Hugs...freely given...premeditated and spontaneous!

Indigo...you know..that color on the horizon..that deepens into darkness after sunset....the one that you can't mimic in a paint color..

Joy...found in the midst of pain and loss...and in the brush of my son's hands upon my cheeks...and his nose pressed into my neck...breath warming my skin...

Kisses...

Lilies...because He robes them in splendor...and loves me more... and Laughter...erupting from the belly of a child...or the heart of my Bumpa...

Mom...

Nuthatches...cause they walk upside down and are funny to watch..as are Nieces and Nephews..

Oatmeal...for breakfast on cold winter mornings...( with a dash of cinnamon and loads of demerera brown sugar...
