This weekend marked the beginning of farmer's markets for the next six months....and, somehow, it just made me smile as I saw all those faces that I've come to call friends when we are in our market mode!
It made me think of things that just bring a smile to my heart.....
~ Watching all the newborn calves learning & growing, always makes me smile (and, makes me a little sad that I don't have Spring babies anymore!)
~ Seeing our Church pews so full that the regular customers have to sit somewhere else :D
~ Watching a little year old girl charming a 70+ year old gentleman
~ Being greeted over & over again by 8 barn kitties...wind or no wind, rain, snow, sleet...whatever the weather...forever faithful friends!
~ Hearing from sweet friends....
~ Making the simplest dessert ever and hearing raves about it...what can I say...the preschool teacher in me, totally knows how to turn graham crackers, pudding, & chocolate into a scrumptious item :D
~ Just listening to other's live stories and seeing GOD's fingerprints everywhere....
I think every day my heart wants to smile....sometimes, it's just a matter of taking the time to let it seek out those little, everyday, parts of life, that bring that smile : D
And, here's my thought for this Monday (it's a little quote our Pastor shared yesterday...and since I am a tea drinker....It totally struck a chord ...although the message was based on faith even in painful/miserable times. It really made me stop and think....hope it catches your thought for a second too....)
"People are like tea bags, you don't know what's in them,
until you dip them into Hot Water!"
Praying that I always make God's heart smile!
Happy May....and, all that it brings....Sweet blessings!
