Thankfulness. There’s something beautiful and healing about being thankful, and not just with the big ticket things. But with deeply personal, gentle surprises and delights that you know Jesus planned just for you…
*the way the breeze brushes your skin
*the coziness of a coffee shop on a blustery day
*the whisper of His voice through a splashing stream
*the gentle purr of a fluffy white cat sleeping across your shoulders
*the peace that falls on you as you sit in the Redwoods
*the quiet beauty of a summer night stargazing…
When I recognize that these little things are hand picked by Jesus to bring me joy, smiles, and contentment it makes them all the more precious and special…just for me simply because He loves me. He loves you, too.

Have you ever felt like you need to slow down and just breathe?
The Divine Series is for the moments when you need to feel God’s arms wrapping you up in His presence.
He’s there…
on a hike through the Redwoods 
as you sip your morning coffee 
in the chatter of a mountain stream 
in a whispered prayer 
when you need to remember that you are not alone 
Through poetry, short stories, Scripture, and reflections inspired by nature, these devotionals give you space to relax and experience God’s presence in the beauty of everyday life.

Good morning from the garden! The sun is on its way up.
The early light on the clouds has a friendly, bright look to it; showing off the paintbrush clouds that God designed for us this morning.
Have a beautiful day & keep your eyes open for blessings & divine encounters.
Where do you spend time with Jesus?
Do you have a special spot where you go to pray?
You all know I love being in nature & talking to Jesus. This beautiful Redwood Regional Park is about 30-35 minutes away from where I live. It’s a gorgeous oasis in the middle of a big city. It’s tucked in & you feel like you miles away from city life.
I hope you find time today to get to your special place & spend time with Him. Peace be with you.
